You end up with a cluttered screen and an unnatural control scheme for a touchscreen. It’s a virtual joystick with some buttons in middle of the screen and I had a terrible time with it for the couple of minutes I tried it. I should also mention that there are alternate controls you can choose from the settings. It really feels like the best way to experience this game if you’re not a fan of PC gaming.
#P the talos principle update#
Perhaps once the iCloud update hits, I’ll find myself playing more on there than on my iPad. You can use one thumb to move and the other to look around and grab Jammers. And it might even feel better than on iPad! Yes, you have to look at a smaller screen, but the gameplay and controls really lend themselves well to playing with two thumbs. So for now, just to see how it plays on my iPhone 6S, I started a new game on there. I am happy to report, though, that the developers said they’re planning to add it in the next couple of weeks. The game doesn’t have iCloud yet, so I can’t continue my iPad game on my iPhone. I also solved some more Jammer puzzles and had a little look around at the scenery. It was past a Sigil puzzle involving Tetris pieces that you have to rotate and fit together. In this next video, I also found a computer terminal with some interesting story bits and the temple I couldn’t find earlier. It does seem to help, but I still can’t play for month sessions, unfortunately.
I later switched to third person perspective because I was getting motion sickness. You can see more in my video below of some iPad Air 2 gameplay. The drones and lasers kill you if you get too close, so you usually have to figure out a way to deactivate them. There might be other obstacles later, but that’s what I’ve seen for now. You simply tap the bullseye icon on a Jammer to pick it up, then carry it within range of either a laser, drone or door that you want to open. So far, each puzzle involves finding and picking up Jammers, machines that, well, jam other machines and door locks. For one, you can die - though it just means restarting a puzzle. Puzzles are scattered throughout this land that mixes ancient architecture with modern technology.
The default controls are like those in The Witness, where you tap to move, swipe with one finger to look around, and use two-finger swipes to make small movements. Jumping into it on my iPad felt far more natural than my previous experience. I remembered what I learned from my time with the demo, though I don’t even think I finished that - I really hate playing on PC. And I’m sure there’s a lot more to it once you get deeper into the story. He claims to be your maker and wants you to solve all his puzzles to prove yourself to him.

In The Talos Principle, you play as an intelligent robot placed in some world full of puzzles, with instructions from a narrator who calls himself Elohim, or God.
