I am an enormous fan of Croteam’s 2014 puzzle recreation The Talos Precept, and so I feel the brand new Thoughts-Bending Masterpieces assortment at Humble Bundle is properly value some consideration. It consists of The Talos Precept and a formidable assortment of different hit puzzle video games together with The Witness and Superliminal for simply $10.
The Talos Precept is about in humanity’s far future, besides humanity has wiped itself out and all that is still are the robots we left behind to hold on our legacy. First, although, they need to bear a gauntlet of puzzles, the thought being that “play” is a common ingredient of the human expertise, all whereas studying in regards to the final days of natural human life on Earth and hopefully absorbing the teachings therein.
It is a very intelligent solution to tie collectively an in any other case disparate assortment of physics and logic puzzles, and I loved the best way the narrative unfolded as a lot as I favored fixing the brainteasers—The Talos Precept strikes simply the fitting stability of constructing me really feel sensible with out requiring me to really be sensible.
It usually goes for $30 on Steam, so the $10 worth for this Humble Bundle is a strong deal even with out the opposite video games it comprises. Nevertheless it does include them—you may additionally get Superliminal, Manifold Backyard, The Pedestrian, and The Witness, all standout puzzlers in their very own proper.
For $5 extra, you’ll be able to add a pair extra video games to the combination: Patrick’s Parabox, an exquisite Sokoban-style field pusher, and Taiji, which I have not performed and so cannot touch upon—but it surely’s acquired 93% optimistic critiques on Steam, in order that’s positively a great reference.
The Talos Precept is the massive hook on this bundle for me, in case that wasn’t clear already, however the entire video games in it go for greater than $15 at common worth, so it is exhausting to go flawed irrespective of which one you dig probably the most. Contemplate it a two-thumbs-up suggestion from me, and you have one week to choose it up: The Thoughts-Bending Masterpieces Humble Bundle might be stay till March 1.
