No words are enough to describe this philosophical and thoughtful experience. One of my favorite games ever.

One of the best puzzle games ever made. More than just a game with "puzzles" this game gives a deep meaning, and message behind your actions, in a journey to understand what means to be "human" and what means to be "alive".

I am usually pretty bad at committing to puzzle games. I can usually play and enjoy them in short bursts, but I feel I need a little more going on to catch my interest.

There are a couple exceptions I've found.

Portal, with it's great humor and characterization

Golden Idol, because I love whodunnit stories

And finally Talos Principal, with it's heavy interest in exploring philosophical conundrums and subtle world building.

I have yet to get into TP2, but this one holds a special place for me.
