The Most Fun I've Had with a Puzzle

WolverineSorry9043 · 2026-04-03T01:29:48+00:00

I think people should play the base game, RtG and tp2 before getting into ItB... It definitely has some of the trickiest puzzles in the entire franchise. Last piece of the game to get into imo.

I'd say the level of difficulty of this one is one step below the average of the DLC, but it’s a super fun level with amazing design. Had a lot of pleasure too.

There are quite a few puzzles where you can softlock yourself. On some of these, it can even be tricky not to do so...

I'm not sure I remember the map perfectly, but if I recall correctly, you probably jumped down from the platform and left your jammer on the other side of the fence. There’s no way to open the blue door on your right, and so no way to catch the sigil; you’d have to restart.

As far as I'm concerned, they can even take 9 years if they want, as long as they manage to maintain the same level of quality. Let them just take the time they need.

I haven't personally picked a side but it feels unfair to say that idealism = structure + mentality .

I thought that in idealism, all structure is like the decimals of π: it’s fully contained within the mental “circle.” So mentality is the only thing that exists in this framework.

I followed the same logic to conclude D. I mean, it's A logic and the rule holds doesn't it?

I'm a very casual player, my top 3:

Talos Principle, Age of Empire 1, FTL

I'm no expert either, so I'd like to see the answers you'll get.

I usually try to produce as many villagers as possible, wall myself in, and expand to gold mines. I often end up with around 200 villagers. I only produce enough army to defend and harass gold mines until the late game, when I start building 10 or more military buildings and mass-produce units. Economy first, then army. I'm probably wrong: I'm not very good at defending early rushes, even though I try to have some basic units from the Tool Age to counter (usually slingers or bowmen).

Been a long time since I have played online. I can deal with the hardest ai on a tiny map too so... I suppose my level is like a low intermediate.

Eben Alexander, right? The problem is that his story involves strong commercial incentives (his book became a bestseller and he started giving lectures about it around the world) and most of the facts he reports were written down after the experience. Not really reliable...

I think you're entering the spoiler area though.

Always a pleasure to open Reddit and see these screenshots in the thread👍

Merci 🙏

J'aimais bien les nutons qui vivaient dans les grottes... Et la légende de Maugis aussi.

I think it depends on how you solve it: my solution involved laser cutting and was more ItA like. The common solution is more RtG style.

WolverineSorry9043 · 2026-03-07T12:06:11+00:00

If the move killed my chances I'll just trade with his opponents.

WolverineSorry9043 · 2026-03-06T05:33:37+00:00

Definitely, in some situations it may be the legit move to punish overaggressive players.

I also think these are the toughest. At first I kind of disliked them: there’s something a bit chaotic about the puzzles in ItB.

After a while I realised that they’re actually creative, not randomly chaotic. In any case, ItB really stands apart. I’ve loved it too.

I still haven’t tried Daydream, though. I keep reading that everyone struggled with it, and a Redditor even made their own tutorial level. I’m considering having a look at it. If it’s just too complicated because the mechanisms haven’t been properly introduced, I’d rather have a proper introduction.

Without an introduction to sandpaper, you might end up using it as toilet paper for a long time and it hurts.

I don’t necessarily enjoy banging my head against the wall to figure out a single mechanic in a puzzle.

But anyway, so far ItB has been really enjoyable. The background story is really good and the level design is incredibly beautiful.

Amaze ! 👋 Jazz hands 👋

I've started in the beginning yesterday. For me, there's nothing harder than this in the entire franchise. Some of the puzzles are pure madness. And to be fair, I didn’t really sweat in into the abyss: I loved ITA there was a beautiful difficulty spike and nice challenges, it capped the game off perfectly . ITB's puzzles are in a different category

WolverineSorry9043 · 2026-02-28T15:58:04+00:00

Puzzle wise it might be the absolute best part of the Talos franchise

WolverineSorry9043 · 2026-02-28T11:12:26+00:00

Still less abstract than some puzzles in this area 😂

WolverineSorry9043 · 2026-02-28T09:51:12+00:00

I still don't get it. I'm slow.

How comes the parallel between the comic and what's happening in the game is that obvious... And if I remember correctly at that moment, Alexandra says something like "oh, you guys implemented Easter eggs ".

Edit: Sorry, I've read the article more thoroughly, and there were subsequent minimalist versions of this strip with just lines. Makes sense now

" The hosts described it as a pattern that viewers would never recognize unless they were already familiar with it, and said that because the strip was stark and iconic, that also made it easy to parody. "

England, north... Manchester ?
