The Talos Principle 2

it's more a reading and walking simulator then a game with solving puzzles (hundreds maybe thousands lines of text, between some puzzles more than 2 minutes of walking - what is fun on holding key D ?)

А где лягушки то?

I really enjoyed the first The Talos Principle, and this sequel impressed me even more. The semi-open zone structure adds a welcome sense of exploration that I really appreciated. The environments are varied, often beautiful, and each area brings its own atmosphere, keeping the experience fresh throughout. At its core, the game is still about puzzles. I found them well balanced overall: not too easy, but rarely overly difficult. The “gold puzzles” provide a more serious challenge for those looking for it. The game flows smoothly, making it very enjoyable to play. Narrative plays a major role, with plenty of dialogue and choices. The game continues its philosophical approach, exploring themes like society, consciousness, and existence through ideas inspired by various philosophical and mythological influences. It’s a real highlight. Overall, an excellent sequel that I would easily recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzle games and narrative-driven experiences.

"erm we did a heccin science guys" dialogue, absurd file size, EUslop. first one was a very tightly designed game with interesting concepts, this one loves the sound of its own voice. world far too big and spread out with empty spaces between levels to try and wow you with space, like serious sam 4. enjoy walking a mile between each puzzle

游戏整体很好，是非常棒的续作。但是有几个致命的缺点，所以给个差评： 开放世界+写实画质导致游戏过于庞大，对配置要求极高，我开最低画质+30帧才能带起来，对于一个解谜游戏来说用力过猛了； 收集星星变得非常无聊，而且收集后并不会解锁额外关卡，纯收集而已，这本来是一代游戏的精髓； 剧情有点看不下去，一群机器人比人类还多愁善感，人类文明存亡时还在感情用事，还在讲希腊神话； 新机制很有意思，但是在游戏本体里开发得不够，得玩DLC才算完整，DLC很好玩。

Eines der interlektuellsten Spiele, die ich seit langem, wenn überhaupt gespielt habe. Unbedingt mit dem ersten Teil starten ! Und sich Zeit nehmen ! Es ist eine herausfordernde Reise zum Selbst. Und ich meine das Selbst des Spielers. Wenn man keine schnelle Unterhaltung sucht, sondern sich wirklich mit etwas beschäftigen möchte, mit dem was einen voranbringt, ist das philosophische Abenteuer von Thalos Principle I und II von grösstem Wert. Die Rätsel sind wie eine Art Side-Story und eigenen sich super einfach mal für 15min ein oder mehr Rätsel zu lösen und die grauen Zellen wiederzuerwecken. - Brainfood - Challangeing - Soul soothing

Absolute masterpiece. The story, the setting, the environment, the puzzles, everything is just amazing. I love first game, but devs just outdid themselves with the sequel. If you liked the first game, then this one is a "must play". 11/10

Прошла сейчас эту игру. В ней всё прекрасно! Не нашла ни одного недостатка. Думаю, каждый геймер, который считает себя интеллектуалом, должен поиграть в неё.

There's gonna be a little spoilers to Talos 1 but not that much. When I was thinking about buying this game i was a bit sceptic bcs I saw many opinions that said that it doesn't have the philosophical and mysterious things that Talos 1 had. In my opinion it still holds up those things the only thing that's diffrent is that you're not alone (which makes sense after Talos' ending). When Talos' lore was side content, in this game it's main focus. It's a little diffrent but it doesn't make it bad. The puzzles are still here (with news mechanics), the lore notes are still here. The game just sometimes holds your hand to make sure you're keeping up with the lore but it's not contradictory with leaving you room to think. But idk if it's just experience from first game or not but the puzzles seem a little easier. Right now I only really had trouble with 3 od them when on first game I was getting stuck all the time (idk if it's a bad or a good thing). The stars also seem easier bcs you know where to find them and there are only 2 of them per stage I had trouble with only 1 for now. Anyway I didn't finish it yet but it's a great game and if you like story games it won't really bother you that someone is talking to you most of the time. I love how every character has a different perspective and moral code. It's Talos but more story oriented.

This game genuinely has good scenery, vistas, and graphics.
