I finally took some time to sit down with The Talos Principle in a livestream the other night, and wow I was pleasantly surprised by it. I've never been one to really get engrossed by puzzle games, as they usually end up too boring for me. Something about The Talos Principle had me completely hooked, and I ended up sinking 1.7 hours into it according to Steam.
I think having a puzzle game that's first person, and quite beautiful really helped get me into Talos. I did feel a bit stupid at the start, as I don't have to really use my brain very often while playing games. This is mainly due to being an FPS junky, but I am trying to push myself to other games to enjoy a wider variety.
Once I got the hang of it, I was able to do certain puzzles with blistering speed, and that seemed to impress our editor Samsai quite a bit. Heck, I even impressed myself with some of it!

Been spending way too much time on Europa Universalis IV of late. I love the graphical style and generally the gameplay. Even though the game is quite complex already, a few things do seem to be underdeveloped. I suppose some of them can be enhanced with DLC, but my wallet doesn't need a diet right now. Also, I'd like it if I didn't always end up just trying to conquer as much as possible (maybe the game is only partially to blame for that, I need to try a game where I set different goals and then really stick to that)
Apart from that, I've been spending most of my gametime on Bioshock Infinite. Framerate is a tad underwhelming for me (but my hardware ain't top-notch either), and the end of the game feels to be overly confusing to the point where it's no longer interesting. Shooters aren't really my thing, but this one got me hooked anyway.
Next up: Trine 1 & 2 (big sale on Steam, woo!), hopefully online co-opping with my girlfriend, then probably Victor Vran.

Quest for Infamy.
- Good: Hilarious game. Characters with personality. Logical and mostly non-linear puzzles in a huge map. The classes offer replayability.
- Not so good: The RPG mechanics are repetitive. Some bugs, but the developer support is top-notch.
Hey Robert! Thank you so much, and for having Prospero as your avatar. Glad you liked our game.
