I've been on it for an hour, its' highly addictive and very enjoyable. I can see where this weekend is going !!

Has no one tried this then ? I've 37 hours of play logged by Steam and I only bought it on Friday (which also means I'm not that good at it !).

It's a bit like Portal (not that I've played that). It's a puzzle game set in a 3-d world. You wonder round, picking up things, connecting things to things etc to get to end of each level. It's highly addictive. The world it's set in looks very much like Serious Sam (it's written by the same company).

I bought it over the weekend as well at 50% off.

I like it but its getting a bit repetitive and i'm not really following the AI background story at all, unlike portal where I felt the story element was really well woven into the puzzle side of things.

Picked it up too having played through a similar type of game called Mind and enjoyed it I thought this would be a continuation of the same kind of content.

Have to say, it's probably worth the sale price but not the usual price, in fact Mind was £10 and the quality of the content was far better than Talos at £15 with a far more interwoven storyline.

I don't hate it though, I like the little puzzles but the difficulty seems to vary massively even within the same contained areas ranging from solving them in the time it takes to move between the objects to spending 20 minutes racking my brain (possibly due to tiredness tbh).
The back story seems like it could have been a LOT better, it's not terribly original but it seems to rely on a lot of written content distributed across terminals and I'm afraid I don't buy games to read, I read books to read I play games to game!!

Still it passes the time.

Heads up. You can download this now from the P's store.

Supposed to be really good!
