The Talos Principle (game) $4.49 on Steam

[Starship Krupa]

I'm in the middle of playing this, and if you're a fan of Portal-style platform/problem solver games like The Turing Test, Pneuma and Lightmatter, you'll love it. I find this type of game to be good "brain pushups."

I located it for $4.49 at Steam, it's a -85% deal that ends March 23rd, or the Gold Edition for $8.56. https://store.steampowered.com/app/257510/The_Talos_Principle/

The Gold Edition is $11.24 at GOG. https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_talos_principle_gold_edition

It's also been free @ Epic Games in December 2019 so check if you have it before you buy.

Whoa, VR version on sale for$8.99. That game would be a trip in VR.

Any VR people out there who can give me a recommendation for a rig compatible with Steam's offerings?

I'm not into the mainstream first-person shooters and environment builders where you go around acquiring things. I like pretty graphics, exploration and puzzle-solving, the sort of thing that MYST pioneered. If it has a cool story, so much the better, but Pneuma doesn't and I liked it well enough. BTW, with Pneuma, the narrator is incredibly annoying, and gives no useful information, so it's okay to mute him.

Although I played Quake back in the day, I've lost my taste for first-person shooters.

Look into the other games I mentioned. Portal and Portal 2, The Turing Test, Lightmatter, and Pneuma. They all seem to be descendants of Portal. The jump platforms, cubes, etc.

Lightmatter is kind of if The Talos Principle were only the light beam puzzles. It was my first taste of this style of game.
