The Talos Principle VR

You awaken in a strange world where ancient ruins sit alongside advanced technology. Your creator sets you a series of puzzles, while the story raises questions about identity, purpose, faith, and humanity.

Solve first-person puzzles by handling objects and mechanisms in VR. Redirect laser beams, divert drones, work around force fields, and use time-replication mechanics to find a way through each challenge.

Explore a non-linear world and tackle its puzzle areas in different orders, choosing teleportation or full locomotion to move around. The game also includes Road to Gehenna, a four-episode expansion with additional puzzles.

Players in these reviews often enjoy the demanding puzzles and the satisfaction of solving them, along with the physical presence of handling objects in VR. Several also value the philosophical story and atmosphere, and some praise the amount of puzzle content, including Road to Gehenna. Other reviews describe unclear puzzle requirements, control or performance problems, or find the VR version tiring or a limited change from the original.
