The game is so easy or I'm too smart for this game
Puzzles are not like puzzles. They are like tasks to do in order. I finished half of the game in an hour.

I'd say "a lot". Not "a bit" :steammocking:

I played dozens of first-person puzzlers, and I think "The Turing Test" is a strong contender for being the easiest game on the market for that genre. It took me until chapter 5 that I ran into the first puzzle for which I actually had to stop for a few seconds and think. The first 4 chapters felt like an extended tutorial - every puzzle either had a very obvious solution, or there simply weren't any alternative actions available. Even after chapter 5, the game remained fairly easy, I think it has (at best) two puzzles that aren't below the average difficulty of similar games.

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).

You can make it more challenging for yourself in different ways.

# 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

"The Turing Test" is easier than pretty much every other first-person puzzle game I've played, and I played dozens. That's one of the reasons why I didn't enjoy The Turng Test that much - I found the puzzles a bit boring since the solution was usually obvious. It's not a bad entry level game for first person puzzlers though.

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.

I added some more recommendations to my previous post, feel free to have a look. :)

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. :)

You're just too smart. You're wasting your time playing video games, we need minds like yours solving world issues, not playing on the computer!

you dont need to be a genious to think these kinds of games are easy.
But yes, this game is much easier than ie talos. Also it is much more boring on the non puzzle parts of the game.

Apart from a few of them, it was pretty darn easy. I bought it mostly for the story, and I'm kinda sorry I did now.

not a bit, much easier, and much worse in general)

I was hoping that as the name impies, they ran the levels with AI that all failed miserably to complete them.

So it's not actually that hard?

I'm glad I got it on sale.

Yeah, I'd agree that this one is the easiest I've played. I didn't have to look up a single hint or solution for any of the puzzles in Turing Test. Swapper, Talos Principle and Portal 2 I looked up at least 1 or two for each game. The Witness is just cruel in comparison to any of them. Needed a lot of help finishing that one and didn't want to spend a year playing it; too many games to play, too little time.

It is really easy but not for half an hour, the entire game (optionals included) should take you between 6 to 7 hours.

Talos is fun and challenging...just like Portal Stories: Mel. Turing Test....way easier....but a nice little casual game...can´t always play the hard ones.
