The Talos Principle

They don’t make em’ like The Talos Principle much anymore. The Talos Principle is a first-person puzzle game that has stormed the gaming charts since its original release in 2014, and its recent PS4 release in 2015.  Whilst the gameplay is thought-provoking, intelligent and unique, it still finds plenty of time to throw us off with some entertaining and clever easter eggs. Here are a few examples:

  1. A diamond sword can be found tucked away in World C-6 that’s straight out of Minecraft. With the same square, pixel edges, finding this gives you the same buzz as when you find diamond ore in Minecraft and it contrasts beautifully with the fantastic graphics of the world of The Talos Principle that surround it.  The sword can even be used!
  2. Considering that the game is from the same people as the Serious Sam series, there are many references to this throughout your adventure and across several rooms.
  3. [Spoiler Alert for Portal 2] Remember at the end of Portal 2 when Wheatley got thrown out into space?  Well now we know where he is.  In World B, you’ll find a perfect view of the moon and this is where you can find him.  Turn the moon around and you’ll see the Aperture Science logo.  Look through the telescope and you’ll see Wheatley sitting on top, looking right back at you.
  4. If you’re a Pink Floyd fan, you may have found a secret room containing the prism from Dark Side of the Moon.  You can even listen to the full track.
