Games like this one
Hey guys.
First of all, The Talos Principle is my favourite game of all times. I enjoyed every second of it. And I love ALL aspects of this game: gameplay, music, graphics, philosophy etc. It's a real masterpiece and work of art, espesially DLC.
Problem with puzzle games that you can't finish them more than once because you already know all the answers D:
So I've been struggling to find another game like this one. I played The Witness. I also enjoyed it a lot. And I finished The Turing Test. It was just OK. And Portal 1,2 of course.
So can you recomend me other games with similar mechanics, gameplay or philosophy?

Antichamber is a pretty great first person puzzle game.

I haven't tried the full version yet but back during the open beta, Q.U.B.E. was kinda fun. If a bit easy. And, hey. The directors cut is rather pretty looking on high settings.

I finished Q.U.B.E. And I didn't like Antichamber 'cus of it's complexity. But I think I'll give it a second chance.

Parallax is another interesting one, though, it can be painful to look at sometimes.

You might like Kairo:

It's not a long game but it is extremely cheap right now (about $1 == .80 pounds sterling). At that price, or even at its normal price, it's not much of a risk.

I went through the same AI/puzzler itch that you had when I first finished Talos, although nowadays I just go back to playing Talos :taloslol:

I'll start with a strictly AI game, with extremely light puzzling elements. Fun, very short game that lets you play with a little basic AI

These next two are from the same developers. They're fun littler puzzlers with interesting questions, mostly concerning mortality. Pneuma: Breath of Life has some comedic touches on top of interesting sight-based puzzles. Kind of playing off a Schodinger's observed/not observed type deal.

This game is probably the better of the two, and plays with a whole new slew of puzzling ideas. I don't think this one has any type, it would be insulting for me to try to pin one down, as this game has quite a few. This game returns to the AI ideas, and instead focuses on a relation between human and AI.

Very inportant to keep in mind though, these are not Talos Principle level games. They are all very short games, in fact I believe they can all be finished within the span of a day if you know what you're doing. This does not mean they are any less worthy of the time it takes to play them, but don't go expecting Talos-level majesty from them. Happy puzzling :kaizen_happy:

Quern.
The same kind of music, meditative gameplay, beautiful graphics, mysterious story, good puzzles.

Q.U.B.E.
The style of graphic like in Portal, very creative and unique puzzles, which you didn't see in any other puzzles.

I wish to you to find something for your soul. Have a nice day.
