In the beginning were the words and the words made the world. I am the words. The words are everything. Where the words end the world ends. You cannot go forward in the absence of space. Repeat.
A puzzles games which makes you think about what makes us human, the consciousness or transhumanism? Yeah, that's it.
Besides the fact of being a great, funny and, in some puzzles, challenging, game, the marvelous thing of The Talos Principle comes from what asks of the player; that is, it wants you to think about what means to be human.
You don't need to be a philosopher (nor to know the Peripatetic School or Spinoza) to understand the issues that the game raises, as they are issues that most of us who have read some science fiction (Asimov, Philip K. Di ck, for example) have already wondered about.
'It is the grave error of many philosophers, not only of the Athenian schools but also of many others, that they begin not with observation of the cosmos as it surrounds us, but with a conclusion already in mind; and often that conclusion is that the world was created ideal, and mankind itself the greatest creation of the gods. Yet neither the world nor the gods owe mankind perfection; it is arrogance itself to presume so, and contrary to all the methods of philosophy. The honest philosopher seeks only the Truth, even if it bears no comfort; and he must begin by assuming, as Socrates said, that all he knows is that he knows nothing.'. Here we can see the skepticism which rules the thoughts of Straton of Stageira.
If you're not interested on all the philosofical stuff, you don't want to read anything, etc., is not a problem, The Talos Principle is a magnificent puzzles games (per se). It has a clever level design and a very solid gameplay (in this sense, I think only Portal 2 is better imo).
The atmosphere is excellent, thanks to an amazing soundtrack and a nice backdrop set in lost civilizations. The lenght is good also, around 20 hours.
Very recommended if you like puzzles games.
Very very recommended if you want a game that makes you think about things long after you finished it.
