A fun and occasionally surprisingly difficult puzzle game which apparently gives the player in-game unlockables for The Talos Principle. If you don't want to play it for the unlockables, play it solely for entertainment and for some chilling brain exercise.

Four out of five Gnaars are agreeing with the fact that it's Android (portable, whatever) version can be a life saver during boring lectures. If you are seeking some occasional, yet still challenging (not to mention free!) ways of entertainment, you really should play it.

It's small, it's free, what's stopping you? Do it!

Nice, neat, simple concept: fit these blocks together to fill the whole rectangle. That's all there is to it, yet it somehow keeps you entertained. Interesting neutral in-game music. The interface seems to be unfinished at the moment - the game window cannot be sized, and you have to alt-tab to get out of it, even if you have multiple monitors.

If you have a bit of OCD in you, you'll find this game oddly satisfying.

Sigils of Elohim is a puzzle game based on the upcoming "Talos Principle" game by Croteam which engages users to think to the best of their problem solving abilities.
You're given a number of shapes to work with and an overall spectrum to insert them in, just like a puzzle. In fact, Sigils of Elohim is basically like a physical puzzle that you place items in to make fit.

Is Sigils of Elohim better than a physical puzzle? The short answer; yes.
The long answer? Sigils of Elohim is all that you could ever want a puzzle to be. It's simple, easy, and at the same time challenging beyond belief. Best of all; It's free.

Sigils of Elohim takes an approach like a typical iOS/Android title (as it's also free to play for those platforms) and works well as a PC game as it engages simple fun into a very complex situation. Making all the pieces fit the puzzle box may look easy but you're taken for a wild ride once you've tried every possible solution that you feel your brain can handle, and still can't manage to solve it. The only limitation is your mind, and your imagination.

You can also use codes in this game to get promo items for "The Talos Principle" coming soon.

A FREE puzzle mini-game where you fit shapes together to form them to a rectangular grid. It's extremely calming to play and awards you with codes to unlock things in the game "The Talos Principle."

Relaxing, and, depending on your brain power, possibly quickly challenging puzzles that are nevertheless fun to do.

You arrange Tetris shapes into a pre-defined rectangle. That's all you do, but for me it's got this "just one more" effect. I would guess it may well do the same for others.

When you have only the last piece left that fits into the gap, a timer appears, but I assume that's it, no actual pressure while you play, and no time limit that I saw so far. (I like that a lot.)

I'm definitely going back to this. It reminds me of one of the things in a test I once did to determine my abilities. (Back then I would probably have breezed through. These days, at over 40, not so much. Maybe it'll jog my gray cells back into shape. :) )

The music is actually soothing and unintrusive. (I'm one of those people that tend to turn music in games off first thing because it annoys me, not so here.)

No option to turn sounds off or change to windowed mode that I saw.

I'll probably not look at The Talos Principle, I just can't play first person. But this is a neat idea, and I thank the developers for supplying a nice free puzzle game.

Sigils of Elohim managed to entertain me for the (short) duration I played it, and since it's free that's all I asked for.
The screenshots on the store page give a perfectly clear picture of what sort of game this is and the game gives you precisely what you'll expect seeing those screenshots in gameplay.
Music is fairly short and you will most likely notice the looping but as the game doesn't take too long to clear it's not too much of an annoyance.

A really good puzzle game that will get under your skin & will make you mad as anything at how difficult it can be at times.
It's simple,
It's addictive,
& it's free.
So no skin off your nose.

I would recommend this to pretty much anyone.
(And it also has some REALLY GOOD music)
4/5 stars

Sigils of Elohim is a simple puzzle time waster aimed at bringing attention to Croteam's upcoming title, The Talos Principle. While this may be a marketing tool to some extent, the game offers elegant puzzles that are great to play during your lunch break or whenever.

You are given an open board and several tetris-shaped pieces. Your goal is to completely fill the board with all the pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. The game starts simple with just a few pieces, but quickly advances to pretty large boards. A lot of solutions are accomplished through trial-and-error brute force, but you can also inject strategies to acquire more "elegant" solutions. The best part? By solving puzzles you receive mysterious unlock codes for The Talos Principle. Guess we will find out what the codes do once the game finally comes out :)

Sigils of Elohim is a free mini-game prelude to Croteam’s upcoming first-person puzzler The Talos Principle. Actually it's Tetris ...
And if you solve the puzzles you get some weird in-game rewards like QR-Codes for the other game.

I really like the concept and style, so it has me interested in The Talos Principle and future updates. From the looks of the interface, this free puzzler is 1/3 complete, with parts B and C coming in future weeks.

The difficulty can be somewhat inconsistent, as puzzles are easier with less pieces. It seems like the middle 4 puzzles in each line were the easiest, with the beginnings and endings being larger puzzles. I enjoy the style and challenge, but the music loops too quickly. 40 minutes of gameplay is pretty reasonable for most players, but the music becomes repetitive in the first 10 minutes. I enjoy the calm style, but it shouldn't loop so fast.

The game stands nicely on its own as a neat free puzzler, but also serves as a nice introduction to the full game. I'm excited to see what comes next, in both the full game and the extra content here. I'd like to see more games try this route to build hype with free content.

Sigils of Elohim is a simple puzzle game, and prequel to The Talos Principle. Sigils of Elohim, plays alot like puzzle Tetris, where your objective is to place the different shaped blocks on a board and fit them all in with no overlap. Overall the concept is simple, but can be challenging. There are, at least in my opinion a decent amount of puzzles in game, currently there are 32, but I hear there may be more added later on. completing each group of 8 puzzles unlocks a code to be used in The Talos Principle. I have got to say the game is worth it though, its free, its simple, and while it has no achievements or leaderboards or anything like that, it is still a worthwhile game. And I have got to say, I really like the soundtrack. There may be only a few songs but they are pretty darn good!
