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 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!

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 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.

A tetromino wonderland for puzzle enthusiasts at the best of prices, that of a mere download and the time it takes you to solve them, that is, if you can...

This game is now complete, and The Talos Principle has been released. Both are quite good and polished. Sigils definitely expands on the puzzle style slightly shown in The Talos Principle, and succeeds at promoting interest in the game.

The difficulty can be somewhat inconsistent, as puzzles are easier with less pieces. It seems like the middle 4 puzzles in each line are easier, while the outer 4 are larger puzzles. I enjoy the style and challenge for some time, but by the end of section C the puzzles are feeling repetitive. There's only so many tetronimo puzzles you can do before you feel you've done this before.

, 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.

Previous issues have been fixed, the content is fleshed out, and the unlocks for The Talos Principle are available. The game stands nicely on its own as a neat free puzzler, but also serves as a nice connection to the full game. I wouldn't recommend playing solely for the unlock codes, as they are not needed to appreciate The Talos Principle. Play to enjoy both games and be immersed in the style of the world. I'd like to see more games try this route to build hype with free content.

You don't really have to read my review if you have watched the trailer and seen the screenshots, you already know enough. And can try it out for yourself on pc or smartphone for free.

But you like to read? Okay. Sigils of Elohim is a free puzzle game, in which you have to place down blocks in the correct positions in order to complete the level. You can turn the puzzle pieces 90 degrees with every mouse click. The game has around 96 levels, which took me around 5/6 hours. The 96 levels have been broken into part A, B and C. You would think that part C would be many times harder than part A but sadly in my experience it wasn't. The difficulty stays broadly the same. This makes the later levels easier, because at that moment you have more experience. The puzzle pieces for each level never change, you won't get new ones. Every 8 levels you unlock a code to use with The Talos Principle. This also gives doing the puzzles a feeling usefulness.(the unlockables probably won't be game changing) You can also see while playing it was essentially a commercial for The Talos Principle, Because of the lay out design you can see that it was a simple game to develop. While playing I did 8/16 levels at a time. This game was, for me, a puzzle game to play when I was in a bad mood and didn't want to do anything. After having completed a few levels I had processed my irritations/frustrations and relaxed into a sort of zen modes. The music in the background also helped with the relaxing feeling, but when you are playing the game for a long time the music become repetative.

In short: Sigils of Elohim is a simple, fun free puzzle game that helps you to relax.

I once had to play this game, with real puzzle pieces, as part of an IQ test. I was then diagosed as disabled.

10/10, made me question my validity as an intelligent being.

Sigils of Elohim? Well, I can't say there isn't anything wrong with this game for me.
It's basically just a mini-game that grants you QR-Code Rewards after each set of puzzles you have completed, that you can use for the upcoming game Croteam is releasing called "The Talos Principle".
I personally love puzzles and this game couldn't have done it better. In some puzzles I'll tell myself, "What am I even doing" or "What did I do wrong?" as it really challenges your mind. Along with great puzzles to exercise your brain, this game also has great yet short music loops.
Overall, I recommend this to anyone, because once you try it out you won't even know how much time has passed until you finished the first set of puzzles with all your heavy thinking. Also, it is free ;)

Fun little puzzle game. Nice to fill a few spare minutes in the day, and has the added bonus of unlocking content in another game.

This game has a great atomosphere, as the music is very soothing and calming. It is a little short, though. However, as a free test for the Talos Principle, it does a fine job.

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.
