Croteam who are best known for their Serious Sam franchise of games is making a first person puzzle game. Yeah, we can’t believe it either, when we first saw the trailer we said, Serious Sam 4? But no The Talos Principle is described as a philosophical first person puzzle game but not one to shy away from their roots even in a thinking mans universe shit is still going to blow up.
If it was just Croteam at the helm I would have to wonder, who in the hell on the Serious Sam team came up with this one. But it turns out the game was written by Tom Jubert of FTL and The Swapper fame and Jonas Kyratzes who had a hand in making Infinite Ocean. Smash those games together and you get a better idea as to how this thing came about. The trailer sure looks interesting, I can’t wait to see what kind of crazy setups they have since they are already showing off floating cities and roman-esque gardens. The Talos Principle is coming to PC, Mac, Linux and PlayStation 4 later this year, Q3 2014.
