In my review, I described The Talos Principle 2 as one of the most complex games I’ve ever played, and most of that assessment wasn’t based on the puzzles. Both this game and its predecessor deal with some incredibly deep philosophical concepts, with many of the themes being based on those from classic literature or […]

As is the case with most great puzzle games, the puzzles in The Talos Principle 2 are iterative. A fundamental set of ideas is initially practiced and mastered by the player, and subsequent puzzles build on those core principles to create more complex challenges.

Celeste wouldn’t be half as challenging without all those pesky Strawberries hidden in precarious places along the way, and Neon White would be non-stop running and gunning if it weren’t for those

Over the last year in gaming, I’ve gone from someone who didn’t really know what a Cairn was, to someone that is intimately familiar with their purpose, their history, and how to stack them carefully to ensure they weather any storm. For that, I have games like Horizon: Call of the Mountain and Tchia to

Devotion Incarnate horrified me. Even if I found the Miracle’s child’s attack relatively easy for a final boss, I adored the religious imagery surrounding them and their fascinatingly gross visual design. Still, though their fight is mildly challenging, the path to Devotion Incarnate is frighteningly laborious. From braving brutal foes that can knock us off

COCOON’s gameplay is primarily chill, relaxing, and no-pressure puzzle solving with very little depending on timing, but the exception to this is the game’s challenging boss fights. These come at the end of a level; beating them gives you access to a new ability to use with the orb you were just inside, and they’re
