User Reviews

The Talos Principle on iOS is visually stunning with a deep, thought-provoking story and solid puzzles. However, the mobile port has notable control and UI issues: touch controls are often frustrating, timing-based sections demand twitch precision, menus can be cut off on newer devices, and the save mechanic can force you to redo sections. Many players suggest using a controller for a smoother experience. Those who can manage the controls tend to find a rewarding, philosophically engaging puzzle experience.

Pros

Beautiful graphics and an immersive, philosophical world.
Challenging, well-designed puzzles that reward careful thinking.
Engaging, thought-provoking storyline with strong atmosphere.
Solid mobile performance on iPad with high-quality visuals and immersive feel.
Many players regard it as one of the best puzzle/adventure mobile games.

Cons

Poor touch controls on iOS; many reviews call them awful or unresponsive and a controller is often recommended.
Certain levels require extremely fast, twitchy taps that are nearly impossible to perform reliably on a touch screen.
UI and menus can be cut off or inaccessible on newer iPhone models due to screen size/scaling issues.
Progress can be reset to the start of a level after dying, making some sections tedious.
Some players feel the game leans more toward a walking sim than a pure puzzle game.

Dear Dev team. Can we have latest MetalFS that improves performance like DLSS/FSR for metal/iOS? I would appreciate if we can also listen to audiobooks or podcast while playing the game that mixes with external audio. Some games do support this. Thank you so much for creating this amazing game.

I loved this game at first. Beautiful, fascinating story. Great puzzles. But by the time you get to the “B” level you gotta do split second taps that I have now tried hundreds of times and cannot physically execute, even though I solved the logical puzzles. I don’t want to bang on the screen going pew pew pew like an idiot. What a shame.
