Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 7 months agoYeah, they definitely reached meme status, but they’re really good puzzle games. The story and lore is, interesting I guess, but it’s certainly not the focus of the game.
If you want a puzzle game with more interesting lore, play The Talos Principle. It’s interesting if you’re into philosophy, and it’s still good if you skip the text entries.

Thank you! It’s actually on sale on playstatiom for $5 or free with ps+ extra so I am definitely going to check that out!

+1 for The Talos Principle, it’s a very good game - but be warned it is less accessible than Portal. Where Portal gives visual clues to solutions, The Talos Principle actively hides them. Especially the bonus stars can get very hard.

Oooh that sounds fun too now I’m even more excited to try it! And luckily I have no shame googling puzzle solutions if I’m stumped

Yeah, probably. It’s a good game, but the good parts have been copied by many other games.
I recommend playing Black Mesa instead of that original for better graphics and whatnot, and then HL2.
