The Talos Principle 2 is a thought-provoking first-person puzzle experience that greatly expands on the first game's philosophical themes and stunning environments with increasingly mind-bending challenges.

Reviews
It doesn't live up to the original, feels watered down and commoditized.
Played it through in it's entirety, including the dlc. The last chapter of the dlc was decent

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

The game is gorgeous, there is a lot of dialogue/monologue, the maps are huge and the puzzles are the small puzzles spread out all over it. Compared to the original Talos Principle puzzles, the main game puzzles are really simple and straightforward. I blazed through most of these (including the extras) without having to pause and think once I figured out that these are really that simple. So for me 90% of the game was running from one puzzle to the next, solving in a sometimes less than a minute and then checking out all the mysteries marked in the HUD with an ?, rinse and repeat. There is a story which was nice and deep in a way, but the other robots were mostly just there as a filler (and for world building, I guess) and a bit annoying. In summary: the original was better, this was ok, if you don't mind the too easy puzzles and running around. Maybe the more puzzling puzzles are DLC?
I don’t think The Talos Principle 2 is worth its price. Even if you enjoy puzzle games, there are better options. Some puzzles are fine, but frustrating design choices often get in the way. Drowning feels arbitrary and annoying. The soundtrack is good but too limited, so it becomes repetitive. I also ran into technical issues, like a severe FPS drop on the West 2 golden challenge Hollow, and a Dystopia glitch that turned everything extremely dark until I reloaded the game. On top of that, the philosophical writing often feels pretentious and overdone rather than meaningful. There are good ideas here and the game is playable, but I cannot recommend it.
Same as other negative reviews. Dialogs are horrendous, the context is not as mysterious with uninteresting characters always giving uninspired remarks. Everything in the world seems streamlined in a unorganic way, feeling indeed like a game and not an immersed experience where we deal with interesting questions like the first. Puzzles until now are good, but I’m not there only for the puzzles, and story and philosophical questions that were there in the 1st are blotched and uninspired. Should have not bought it in advance, I would have gotten a refund
Сиквел оказался несколько слабее чем оригинал во многом Пятое анрыло со своим ворохом проблем и я считаю бросать свой движок не стоило. Онбыл вполне достоин Нарративный дизайн и дизайн локаций также слабее из-за безумного гигантизма Дамьян конечно как всегда хорош, но даже он на фоне себя в оригинале немного сдал Иначе говоря игра слабее оригинала Стоит ли ее брать? Если вам кайф бегать по локам по часу без какой либо динамики и вы ловите кайф от пейзажей, музыки и интересной истории, то почему вы все еще читаете? Если же вы не фанат медленной игры, головоломок и около медитативного геймплея, то лучше отложить игру, иначе вы ее просто возненавидите. Возможно дайте ей шанс позже. В 2027 будет финальная часть серии и я крайне рекомендую пройти все части серии, потому что история в этих играх действительно стоящая.
While not as compelling to me philosophically as the first game (which I believe is an artistic choice based on some writing towards the very end of the game), this one easily surpasses it in scale, presentation, and environment design, and the puzzles are no less entertaining. Absolutely worth the time if you're a fan of spatial reasoning puzzles. I played on low graphics and was still wowed by the scenery, so don't feel like you should hold back if you can't run the game at maximum fidelity.
EpigOnlineSpyware.dll included, so that's an auto-"no." Plus the game can be beaten in 15 mins, refuse to join the expedition. Congrats, you beat TTP2 you can freely refund it within the 2 hour window!</joke ending, BTW> More seriously: It's more of the Talos Principle. You know what you're getting here: First person (with a third person view switching option) puzzles a-la Portal 1-2, but with lasers, positioning, body-doubles/body-swaps, fan/jumps/platforming and a few other twists along with a continuation of the TTP1's story. If you enjoyed the first one, you're more than likely going to enjoy this one. Runs on a Hard-Drive despite the game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it being on one over a Solid State drive. Only issues is texture/polygon loading, but that's an Unreal Engine 5 issue (bleh), but that's so minor that the game runs fine for hours without it and when performance degrades (Steam overlay with Youtube would cause it to say the drive was defragmented, which is weird. RAM/VRAM issue?), just restart the game and it runs fine again after that. Though with the performance increases coming with TTP3, it's going to be REAL hard to justify the same performance as TTP2's requirements on that one.
Puzzles are a little bit less complicated than in tp1 (not a single one took me more than 40 minutes to solve while in the first part I could be spending hours on some regular one), star puzzles are million times more trivial, in my opinion it really lacks the challenge. However, the plot, world, characters and new puzzle mechanics are awesome. I am pretty much sure most of us don't play this game just because we like solving puzzles ;) (though we most certainly do)
