Nov. 2024

Amazing. 9/10. Basically a puzzle-collectathon-adventure game. Blows the first game out of the water. The puzzles are well-designed and have a nice difficulty progression. If you don't think you're good at puzzles, don't worry- you don't have to solve every puzzle to finish the game, and in fact there is an item hidden throughout the world which allows you to skip a puzzle. Gone are the turrets and mines from the first game, and in their place are a ton of new puzzle mechanics. My only complaint is that some of the best puzzle pieces are underutilized- I would have liked to see more of the body-swapping mechanic, for example. There is also a fantastic sci-fi story. The story is on a whole different scale from the first game, with tons of memorable characters and some really interesting mysteries that these characters must solve. Very existential themes. I found myself heavily invested in the story and characters right from the beginning. The dialogue is great- sometimes funny, sometimes philosophical, sometimes both. You'll want to go out of your way to seek out characters and talk to them. I found the puzzles in the main game fairly easy, with the exception of a few of the golden puzzles near the end of the game. The DLCs range from medium difficulty to extremely challenging. If you find the puzzles in the main game too easy, Into The Abyss will be a welcome change of pace. If you found the main game to be fairly difficult, you might still enjoy isles of the blessed, which is comparable in difficulty to the main game and serves as a sort of epilogue to the story.

The first game had decent puzzles and a great atmosphere. The second game has decent puzzles and out-of-this-world awesome atmosphere. The game is really beautiful, the story is captivating and the characters are loveable. I loved the interactions with and between my crew members. It's really hard to make sequels to a puzzle game with the "you are doing tests, but there is actually something bigger going on." But Portal did it, and so did The Talos Principle!

Sept. 2024

Talos Principle 2 is what Portal 2 was to Portal 1. An incredible expansion on its predecessor in every possible way and nailing it in all regards. This is apex tier puzzling. Not a bad puzzle among the lot and not a single one felt cheap and they were always fun to solve. Bonus if you're into philosophy. There's a lot of it in the game if you want to engage in the narrative. And like the puzzles the philosophy stuff wasn't dumbed down but rather made engaging and understandable for those of us who only have a superficial knowledge. Anyhoo, this is an absolute must-play and gets the highest of recommendation from me! Runs well on a Deck. Mid-low settings at 30fps with some tweaks to find what looks/performs best for your taste.

This game is tightly made, like the world's best watch. The world building is incredible. The graphics are eye-popping. What an incredible experience. This game mentions in the DLC that if just one person has their life improved by what you created, then it is a success. I can say that without a doubt this game is a success.

More ≠ Better I think the developers forgot what made the first game so special and instead focused on making a bigger and more ambitious game. This game could have been much better if they had just remembered what made the first game so unique. I loved The Talos Principle. It was such a gem in many ways. It had clever puzzle and level design, interesting narrative, phenomenal graphics for its year and budget, good soundtrack, and beautiful environmental design. The only issue with it was that it was a little bit too long, thus it began being rather repetitive at the end. Nevertheless, it was a great experience throughout the journey. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3071931987 In The Talos Principle 2, the most flashy improvement that catches the player's eye is the graphics. The game looks absolutely stunning visually, the art design is masterfully done. Especially in some areas, they took it to another level. Graphically, Talos 2 is easily the best-looking puzzle game in the market. Puzzle-wise, we have well-designed puzzles in Talos 2, just like the first game. But I can easily say that puzzles are way easier in this one. In the first game, I had to look up the solutions for 2-3 puzzles, and the other ones were mostly very challenging too. In Talos 2, I didn't need help in any of them, and I didn't use the in-game puzzle skip mechanic. Thankfully, this game doesn't repeat itself like the first one did. The game introduces new mechanics throughout the journey. The puzzles are fun to solve and engaging, but I still felt the achievement feeling after solving both simple and challenging puzzles. However, the major issue with this game is, why isn't any of the puzzle mechanics connected? The answer is, to not make things difficult for the player. This is a major letdown because that was exceptionally well done in the first game and I expected that to be experimented further here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3094080194 Exploring the world and secrets with friends is not bad, but the first game's solitude feeling with beautiful music was a whole other feeling. The first game's story was way more interesting than this one , TTP had a better balance, like 90% gameplay, 10% story, now it's like 65%-35%, which slows the tempo down by a lot. Neither the scenario nor the characters were interesting to me. By the way, the music got downgraded with this one, Talos 1's music was so captivating and atmospheric. This has a few decent tracks, but they are not as remarkable as the prequel. I know this is a demanding game, but performance could have been way better, there are some issues here. To conclude, The Talos Principle 2 doesn't have the magic that The Talos Principe had, so It didn't feel that special for me. Although I am a little bit disappointed with it, It's still a high-quality game and I had fun with it. Definitely recommended.
