it is actually a bit easier than The Talos Principle..
I'd say "a lot". Not "a bit"
Personally I would have preferred more of a challenge, but it's not a bad thing to have games catering to different demographics. If someone wants a relaxing experience rather than challenge their problem-solving skills, then The Turing Test is definitely a decent option (actually a pretty good option in terms of puzzles, but the bad writing drops it down a notch).
# Turn your monitor upside down.
# If you have glasses, put them off
# Play blindfolded
# Ask your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband or wife to walk into your room with "hot" clothes
# Play in the lowest resolution possible
# Speedrun it
Regarding Talos Principle, in my opinion that game is amazing, it gets the things right where The Turing Test fails pretty miserably. The puzzles in Talos Principle start pretty easy, but do actually become challenging later on (especially if you do the optional "star" puzzles which often require you to think out of the box, or if you play the expansion).
Story-wise, Talos Principle is more about philosophy than science, but to be honest, The Turing Test is far from being a science game. It has a very thin veneer of science painted over a plot that makes no sense, and if you look too closely at it, it just falls apart. What I can say, is that Talos Principle shows a much higher level of understanding of its subject matter than Turing Test.
If you liked the idea of having a philosophical conversation via a computer terminal in Turing Test, you should love the philosophical conversations in Talos Principle. They are much better implemented. Instead of just putting you on a scripted rail to failure (as in Turing Test), Talos Principle actually works with your answers and tries (in a pretty clever way) to find holes in your argument.
If you're interested in puzzle games, here are a few recommendations:
The Talos Principle - great puzzle design, well-done difficulty progression, very good implementation of philosophical topics
Portal 1+2 - very good puzzle design (though not quite as varied as Talos Principle), a story full of dark humor, very memorable characters.
The Witness - no story, but an entire island with hundreds of small puzzles to explore, which build into something bigger as you progress. No story, a bit of philosophy thrown in but without much elaboration - the focus are clearly the puzzles, which are amazingly well done. The game never tells you what to do, but it always gives you the tools to experiment with the puzzles and discover their rules by yourself, and that is the main pull of the game.
Each of these games is great in its own way. Talos Principle is thought-provoking, Portal is entertaining, and The Witness challenges your logical thinking.
Also, if you really "love" Turing Test (I couldn't imagine why, but hey, different strokes for different folks ;) ), you may want to take a look at Pneuma, the previous game of the same team. Like Turing Test, it has very easy puzzles, and it tries to incorporate philosophy, but without having a great understanding of the subject matter, so it remains very superficial.
There's a reason why you cannot pass this test. If you don'r see it now, it will become apparent later in the game.
Best wishes regarding your health!
Regarding The Talos Principle, I wouldn't be surprised if it were available for a tenner or less during the Steam Summer Sale (which starts in three days). Fingers crossed. :)
But yes, this game is much easier than ie talos. Also it is much more boring on the non puzzle parts of the game.
So it's not actually that hard?
I'm glad I got it on sale.
