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.

Recent reviews

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.

Controls don’t work. Menu not accessible until you die. Absolutely awful controls. I did not even make it through tutorial before I quit. Tried all the control modes and they get worse. Just because you can port a game does not mean you can do so without play testing. This is the exact reason I dont buy many iPad games… good reviews are not from iPad users…
