Probably one of the best 3D Puzzle games on the market, comparable to Portal in quality and gameplay. What makes Talos Principle shine, though, is it's encouragement for the player to think outside the box and break puzzles at times. Fantastic game, a must-get if you love the genre.
Bonus Points if you like Serious Sam; it's developed by Croteam so they've naturally put in tons of hidden references.

I played this a couple years back and enjoyed it. It's kinda wierd doing laser puzzles in ancient ruins but the puzzles are often quite ingenius so yeah, I'm down with it. Defintely had to check out a walkthrough at times when I got stuck but I did feel really smart when I figured out stuff on my own.

While a possible spoiler, the best ending requires climbing to the top of the tower, which means finishing most if not all puzzles in the game.

I also enjoyed the dialouged with Milton, who will rotinuely hit you with Socratic questions and demand you justify your answers and make you think about what you're arguing.

A very well done 3D puzzler. If you're a fan of Portal, check this one out.

Not gonna lie, at times it felt like I was arguing with someone on an internet forum, where every choice I made was wrong and every statement I made had some fallacy in it.

Yeah, IIRC, Socrates was infamous for that, which is why he irritated a lot of people in his day.
