The Talos Principle: Reawakened is a remastered and enriched version of the well-received 2018 puzzle game. The remaster was developed by the authors of the original, the Croteam studio from Croatia, whose portfolio also includes the Serious Sam series.

Story

The Talos Principle: Reawakened includes all the content from the base game and The Road to Gehenna expansion. During the game, we take on the role of an android guided by a voice from the heavens called Elohim, who travels through an alien world and solves increasingly complex puzzles. We do this in order to attain the ascension prepared by the supposedly divine guide.

Authors of the game have prepared a new chapter for the remaster. It serves as an introduction to the whole story. In the Beginning chapter allows us to learn the story of Alexandra Drennan as she conducts her first important test that will give her answers to questions about the essence of humanity.

The Talos Principle Reawakened isn't just a fancy remaster with tarted up graphics, it truly is the definitive edition of one of the greatest puzzle games of all time and is a must play for any fans of the genre, or indeed any fans of quality gaming in general. The new additions are welcome, with the editor mode being particularly exciting. While you may not ever find out your true purpose, playing The Talos Principle should become part of your journey.

Wccftech: 8.3 / 10 by David Carcasole

The Talos Principle and its expansion Road to Gehenna are undeniably two of the best puzzle game experiences available in video games. That unfortunately only makes the difficulty jump in the new In the Beginning expansion more frustrating, but it remains true for the base game, and both expansions that the struggle is worth it for the writing and storytelling.
