The Talos Principle 2

pozzles

The sequel to one of the best puzzle games of all time really had to deliver an incredible experience, and... it did not disappoint. In fact, it is even better in almost every way. Talos I can get a bit repetitive due to the lack of different biomes and puzzle mechanics, but Talos II solved these issues. Every new area introduces new mechanics and it never felt boring or repetitive. I was very worried how they could build a new story that continues after the ending of Talos I, but they did it perfectly. A story full of twists and turns, surprises, philosophy and incredible characters, mixed with a fantastic soundtrack, brilliant puzzles and gorgeous environments, makes Talos II one of the greatest games ever made. Just like the first game, the only problem about this game is the replayability. If you want to see all branches of the story, you'll need multiple playthroughs or manual backup saves. Replaying puzzle games isn't very interesting when you already know the solutions, but this is only a problem if you want to complete the game for 100%.

The Talos Principle is absolutely my No.1 game of all time. I didnt expect sequel to fill the shoes but it did. World is expanded and it fits as you have more places to look for those easter eggs which we all love so much and just roam around while incredible sountrack composed by awsome Damjan Mravunac pulls you deeper in world we left so long ago. Even if you are not in philosophy or AI puzles alone will blow your mind. If you are then take your time and absorb every word as this game isnt writen by amateurs. If you havent played first game you absolutely must before this one. I cant tell why as it is a big spoiler. Thank you Croteam for this 2 gems. I hope there will be more so i hope writers can do magic.

Fun puzzles, interesting exploration, and immersive story. My brain has been stretched, flattened, and folded into strange shapes, but I still managed to finish the game.

Игра хороша - проведенного за ней времени не жаль и вот почему: 1) Загадки - их стало больше с первой части и они все еще удобоваримо решаемы. Вариативность, решения и всякие скрытые предметы тоже присутствуют - так что нужно будет поползать по карте в поисках (ну или просто чекнуть гайды) 2) Персонажи - теперь они осязаемы (не просто квадратике на стене) У них есть свои цели и виденья бедующего , есть смешные и серьезные диалоги - с последствиями из чего исходит третье. 3) в игре сохранилось несколько концовок - есть подозрение, что их стало больше чем было в первой (но это не точно) Итог: Ну игра клевая. Потеряла ли она свой "вайб" в сравнение с первой частью -нет. Разве что мистичность отпала, теперь классическая науч. фантастика. Визуал красивый, локации запоминающиеся, хотя этого от них и не требуются так как они просто обертка для философских рассуждений и загадок. Про философию - кажется, что там присутствует морализаторство, но вам это только кажется) Короче игра хороша - не так часто выходят подобные проекты, вроде брал ее по скидке, но позже докупал DLC, короче говоря - потраченных 2к деревянных не жаль. 10 робо людей из 10

[h1]An Incredible Sequel That Delivers Just as Many Headaches (in the Best Way Possible)[/h1] [b]The Talos Principle 2[/b] takes everything that made the original such a monumental puzzler and elevates it to new heights while keeping that signature mind‑bending challenge front and centre. If you loved the first game’s cerebral twists and philosophical depth, this sequel gives you even more — with puzzles that will make you groan, think twice, and then feel brilliantly rewarded when the solution finally clicks. Mechanically, the game expands beautifully on the original’s core systems. The introduction of new tools and elements adds layers of complexity without ever feeling tacked on — instead, each new mechanic opens up fresh ways of thinking, forcing you to reconsider assumptions and approach problems from angles you never expected. The result is a puzzle suite that’s bigger, richer, and more inventive, but always grounded in that elegant logic you loved the first time around. What truly sets this sequel apart is how it balances challenge with discovery. There are moments where you’ll feel utterly stumped — those classic “why didn’t I see that?” moments — but the sense of achievement when it all finally makes sense is just as powerful here as it ever was. The pacing of puzzle difficulty is intelligent, too: you’re constantly learning, adapting, and exploring without ever feeling overwhelmed or left behind. Beyond the mechanics, The Talos Principle 2 continues to wrestle with big ideas. The narrative still weaves philosophical questions about consciousness, choice, and identity into every corner of the world, and the way story elements intersect with puzzles deepens the connection between gameplay and theme. It’s rare to find a game that can make you think as much as you play — and this sequel does both with grace and ambition. Visually and atmospherically, the game feels distinct from its predecessor while keeping a sense of continuity. The environments are more varied, the audio design remains thoughtful, and each new area feels like a fresh puzzle playground waiting to be decoded. If you’re ready for headaches that feel good — the kind that come with clever design, rewarding breakthroughs, and thoughtful worldbuilding — this is a sequel that delivers in every way. [b]Verdict:[/b] A masterful continuation that’s just as challenging and satisfying as the original. [h2]10 / 10 — Highly Recommended[/h2]
