Looks really good! I never finished Talos Principle so I might just pick this up when it lands.

It still baffles my brain that arguably the best puzzle game ever is by the Serious Sam devs.

Seriously. Even if you aren't huge on puzzle games, The Talos Principle is a great experience. They do a spectacular job of introducing new mechanics so nothing ever feels unfair and you naturally realize how to find the secrets in past rooms. And there are enough "endings" that you don't need to 100% it.

Nice! I'm playing through TP2 right now and it's great fun, though I did enjoy the mystery of the first more I think. How many laser puzzles does a person need in life though?

Lasers are my favorite! Worlds better than the replays. I also enjoyed the teleporters.

TP2 could have had more hexahedra, though.

Ooh I really liked this game, I played it in VR. I remember thinking they did great job with the difficulty curve.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That’s actually what I hope they’re fixing with the remake.

Early puzzles were clever, later puzzles just have so many parts it feels like a laborious chore to get every laser and box and replay exactly where it needs to be. I’m sorry to say I didn’t even finish the game.

Hope they support VR with this remaster.

I don't have mine anymore :(

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oof, sorry to hear.
At least you have loooots of backlog to play if you eventually decide to get another!

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 months ago

Maybe one day I'll have time again!

I had an Index, and after many years one of my lighthouses died (was actually from the Vive I had before that). But I wasn't playing it enough to justify buying a new one.

Now the kids are getting older I might get back into it at some point.

That looks incredible! The second one was good but I think I still like the first one better. I would love to dive back in.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

Well I guess I'll be playing this again next year.

fuckin sick

Very Happy to see this, TP1 has my favorite set pieces of all time (the desert levels in special) and if they're already held super well throughout the years, can't wait to see them remastered, and with a new chapter to boot!!!

Just hope the move to UE5 doesn't introduce the typical shader stutters 😬
