I put this as a "recommend" because if you haven't played The Talos Principle, it's a great game, and it's probably better to get this remastered version versus the original version. That said, it's a mixed recommendation if you have played the original version of The Talos Principle. The graphics are improved, yes, but the graphics of the original game are still pretty good. This does include the original DLC and a new DLC, both of which are challenging (the "In the Beginning" DLC which is unique to this version of the game has some of the hardest puzzles in the franchise, though maybe not quite on the level of the TTP2 DLCs. =). That said, the game does not run as smoothly as the previous entries in this game-- I'm often having to restart because assets don't load correctly, especially with the community puzzles. Speaking of which, the community puzzles were what really got me interested in buying this version, and I think it's a work in progress. This could become a real asset as the community puzzle library expands, but as of now, the game should really include some ways to rate the puzzles. There's been a handful of pretty tedious puzzles and some that do not play very smoothly. It's also worth noting that you can access these puzzles with the demo which I didn't realize before hand. This could grow into a real asset for this version of the game, but it's not there yet. That said, still a great game and highly recommended if you are into puzzle gamees. But if you have the original version of the game, not sure it's worth it just for the new DLC and updated graphics.

The original The Talos Principle rebuild in Unreal Engine v5 Because of the Unreal Engine, the hardware requirements of this version are higher, on older hardware with several tweaks in the game's settings this game runs OK The game's content is the base game, The Road to Gehenna, and a new chapter In the beginning the recorder puzzle is slightly changed The original The Talos Principle is one of my most favorite games, and this version is a big step up from the original.

I'm replaying Talos Principle after 10 years and it still is one of the greatest games ever created. This remake uses the newest tech advances to make the visuals as awe inspiring as the game's story. No game has ever touched me as much as this one.

For all of the reasons that Talos Principle changed me as a person when I played it through for the first time over 9 years ago, I recommend Talos Principle: Reawakened wholeheartedly. The visual remaster is stellar, as it should go without saying. Games that receive this kind of remaster are usually visually stunning, so there isn't much surprising about just how beautiful The Talos Principle *still* is. You could throw me into either game's environment with a photo mode and I'd be able to spend hours just admiring the landscapes of both versions of the game. The music, almost entirely unchanged, is still able to draw me into the world effortlessly and make me lose awareness of my body as a physical object. Admittedly, the game does stutter a bit in the most foliage-heavy areas, due to the enhanced graphics. I'll be the first to admit that my computer is no slouch, so I'd make sure that your computer can accommodate the minimum or recommended hardware specifications before diving in. The game does have a wealth of different graphics and performance options to choose from, which will definitely help out along the way. For a UE5 game, an engine that I haven't had the best performance experience with, I was very pleasantly surprised with just how well TPPR handled. Above all else, and what I had the most fun with, I adored the developer commentaries so, so very much. I wish there were more. They're utterly humanizing, endlessly fascinating, and extremely entertaining in all senses of the word. I recommend all returning fans enable Developer Commentary in the options menu as soon as you start up a new save. I have not yet tried out the new narrative content, but with only one playthrough in the remaster under my belt, I still find myself excited to continue. I can't wait to see how many of the puzzle solutions I've forgotten in Road to Gehenna. I can't wait to hear Erin Fitzgerald's voice again in the new narrative content. I can't wait to relive all of the moments that made me fall in love with this story again. The Talos Principle Reawakened was not ever something that I had even thought to look out for on my radar, but once it was announced, I found my excitement mounting for something that I didn't know I wanted. I think that the team has done an amazing job, and I think it deserves just recognition that they were able to take their former masterpiece and give it a fresh coat of polish without diminishing any of the former value. I invite all new and old fans to give it a go with confidence. There's really no beating it.

I recommend it... and also I don't Lets just say that they did an amazing job with the remaster. New features like cutting-edge UE5 graphics, an additional brand new chapter, level editor, some QoL, and dev commentary being the highlinghts. Most fans of the original game, including me will LOVE it. But I am not sure if Reawakened is good value for players new to the series. This remaster is a 40€ game. It is not cheap at all. Especially considering the original game frequently goes on DEEP sales for 4.5€ (!), DLC included. And let's be honest, the original looks perfectly fine, and frankly performs way better than the unoptimized mess UE5 can be for many setups. So, ultimately, my recommendation depends on your preferences: Get Reawakened if the majority of the following are true for you: [*]You are an old fan of the original game and want to replay but still have fresh content on your second journey [*]You are a brand new player who plans to dive DEEP into this world and get the most content out of this game [*]You are not price sensitive [*]You have a midhigh-high range setup to get the most out of UE5 graphics while not suffering on performance Get the original Talos Principle if the majority of the following are true for you: [*]You don't care about cutting-edge graphics that much, or even, perfer older graphics that still hold up pretty well tbh [*]You have a potato tier-to midrange setup that will run the old engine much smoother [*]You are price sensitive, or spending 3-4.5€ sounds way better than spending 40€ [*]You are a brand new player to the series who just wants the base experience and maybe the DLC (which is still like ~85% of all the content there is in Reawakened, not counting the workshop) The choice is yours.
