For many single-player players, the puzzle genre is almost untouchable, and I was the same until I came across a game called Talos's Law. When I first saw the picture, I thought it was fascinating, the scene was magnificent, bright, and full of exotic atmosphere. Therefore, although it is a puzzle game, its popularity has even beaten a number of triple-A masterpieces.
When I saw that the production team was Croteam of the Hero Sam series, I thought it was another sci-fi shooter. Unexpectedly, Talos's Law turned out to be a puzzle game, as if it were another flavor of the portal, and a brainstorming whimsical adventure began.
The production team Croteam can make a game like the Hero Sam 3 that doesn't require much brains, just keeps moving, kills enemies in a fast-paced environment, and enjoys the thrill of flesh and blood. And in this "Talos's Law", it can be said that they completely try another gameplay that is completely different from the hero Sam, through a very quiet and leisurely environment, to cultivate the player's ability to think independently. Compared with the very noisy and brutal and violent hero Sam 3, there is a 180-degree turn.
It is worth mentioning that "The Law of Talos" has an official built-in Chinese version, and even the dubbing has many Chinese languages, including Cantonese, which will be interesting to hear at first, but in fact, in addition to English, the translation quality of Chinese languages is not good, and the dialogue content of this work is more philosophical, religious, a bit difficult to understand, players can consider using it at their discretion.
An adventure puzzle game, the story and world view setting are also very important, and in "Talos's Law", robot thinking and materialism are deeply explored. Players take on the role of a robot who is put to the test by Elosim in a virtual world. These tests bring a lot of levels, and there are hundreds of puzzle gameplay that is addictive.
The aim of the game is to collect talismans, bricks that look like Tetris, and use the blocks to unlock more puzzle-solving items and areas, there are three sections - A, B, and C, each of which brings outstanding buildings and scenes, such as ancient Greek civilizations, beautiful statues and lithographs. Egypt has pyramids and sunny hot weather. The European Middle Ages is full of beauty.
Without decryption, players can wander around, enjoy the scenery and good music to empty their heads. The puzzles will gradually increase in difficulty, and at the end of the puzzle will lead to complex puzzle levels that will make the player want to break their heads. In the beginning, the player is almost always required to take the jammer in the scene, use the jammer to stop the moving bomb, or disable the machine gun turret, and walk over to get the block safe and sound.
The structure of the puzzle changes slightly, such as opening the door with a jammer and closing it when the bomb enters. Or two jammers can be used against each other to open several doors in order. Then there will be connectors, which will test the player's use of space to solve puzzles, and blocks can be used to hold down traps or be used as stepping stones to jump over walls.
As the game progresses, more and more items will appear at the end, and players will have to rack their brains to make all the items work in order to beat the level smoothly. The puzzles are basically based on real-world logic, physics, and a sense of 3D space, so players don't have to worry about too tricky and counterintuitive questions. Occasionally, the player's reflexes will be tested, and some traps must be dodged while they are in the air.
If you're tired of the slashing environment, like to keep your head moving, and bask in the sense of accomplishment after solving a puzzle, then Talos's Law is for you.
Not only does it have great scenes, beautiful scenery, and ingenious titles, but it also brings a bit of freedom, allowing players to come and go at their own pace and complete various puzzles in a relatively open world environment. I believe that many players will fall in love with the puzzle elements after playing, and every time they complete a level, they will feel like they have become smarter.
