The Talos Principle: Reawakened goes back to the beginning for a touching coda to its musings on what it means to be human

The Talos Principle: Reawakened launch trailer still - a machine in the garden of Elohim.

I'm a big fan of the Talos Principle games, and so was happy to hear that the original, now more than 10 years old, was getting the remaster treatment as The Talos Principle: Reawakened. And it's not just a graphical overhaul: The updated edition also features an entirely new chapter that takes players back to the very earliest days of the simulation that brought about the rebirth of humanity.

The Talos Principle: Reawakened, redone in Unreal Engine 5, looks great: I recall the original being a very pretty game for its time but even so, this is a big step up. There's also an array of new quality of life and accessibility features, and a new puzzle editor that enables players to easily create and share puzzles through Steam—great for people who just want to jump in and bang around with lasers, blocks, and fans, without getting all wrapped up in philosophy.
