10 Video Games That Make You Feel Like A Genius

10. The Talos Principle

Because The Talos Principle has the player perform dangerous puzzles on the behalf of an unseen entity pretending to be a benevolent force, you can see why Croteam's game is often compared to Portal.

But there is one major difference between the two properties. Upon entering each new room in The Talos Principle, you are not offered the slightest clue what to do next. The first few puzzles usually revolve around deactivate guns, hiding from mobile turrets, and opening gates to collect artefacts that look suspiciously like Tetris blocks.

As simple as that sounds, you'll be left scratching your head more often than not. And if you thought these first few perplexities were beyond you, wait until you see what the game has in store for you later.

As frustrating as the challenges in The Talos Principle can be, it's rarely unfair. By observing your surroundings and playing around with the positioning of each item, you should reach your destination.

At first, the majority of the puzzles seem impossible to solve. But upon completion, you'll wonder why you didn't crack them sooner.
