Eu achei a diferença desse jogo para o primeiro gritante... o primeiro jogo é muito bom mas esse aqui superou tudo que já gostava Recomendo legal
ABSOLUTE CINEMA.
One of the best games of all time for me. The puzzle solving, the story telling and weaving those together to always have something fun to unravel and a story to progress. Highly recommended.
I really love the first game, but this one didn't feel the same way at all. Especially, I'm upset by the W3 Golden Gate puzzle. Where I've lost a ton of time just because the inital testing for solution simply didn't work due to weird physics............. I'll just copy another user's review, because too lazy and English is hard. [quote=DarkZachary] "A Sequel That Expands the Scale but Loses the Spark The Talos Principle 2 aims higher than its predecessor in almost every way — bigger environments, a broader narrative, more complex ideas. On paper, it should be a clear evolution. But in practice, it often feels like the game traded its tight, focused brilliance for something more bloated and less impactful. The puzzles are still clever, but they’ve lost some of the elegance that made the first game so satisfying. Instead of concise, “aha!” moments, many challenges feel stretched out, relying on layered mechanics that can become more tedious than rewarding. You’re often juggling multiple tools across large spaces, and while that adds scale, it also slows the pacing and dilutes the sense of clarity. Solving a puzzle doesn’t always feel like a breakthrough — sometimes it just feels like you finally got through the clutter. The open structure doesn’t help either. Larger hub areas and optional content sound appealing, but they introduce a sense of sprawl that works against the experience. There’s more walking, more downtime, and more moments where the game loses its momentum. The original thrived on its focused progression; here, that focus is often missing. Narratively, the game tries to go even deeper into philosophical territory — questions about consciousness, society, purpose, and humanity. But where the first game felt intimate and thought-provoking, the sequel can feel heavy-handed and overextended. Dialogue is longer, themes are repeated more bluntly, and the subtlety that once made the writing so compelling is often replaced by exposition. It’s ambitious, but not always effective. Visually, the game is undeniably beautiful. The environments are varied and detailed, and there’s a clear effort to create a sense of scale and wonder. But that beauty sometimes feels disconnected from the gameplay, serving more as a backdrop than an integrated part of the puzzle design. The Talos Principle 2 isn’t a bad game — there are still moments of brilliance, and fans of puzzle games will find things to appreciate. But as a sequel, it struggles to capture what made the original so special. Bigger doesn’t always mean better, and in this case, the added scope comes at the cost of focus, pacing, and emotional impact. In the end, it’s a thoughtful but uneven experience — one that expands the formula, but never quite matches the quiet, lasting brilliance of the first game. [/quote]
I'm not amazing at puzzle games but despite that I enjoyed it immensely, only had really trouble with a couple. The puzzles are well crafted and provide a huge sense of satisfaction once you come to the solution. The story and characters are great and I can see myself replaying this again in the future. I haven't played the first and now feel I totally should. 9/10 (a point off for a couple of the puzzles being bonkers to work out).
7/10
好游戏,活该你赚钱
퍼즐 고봉밥으로 먹고싶으면 추천. 엔딩은 봤지만 퍼즐 다깨기는 귀찮다...
A great sequel and great puzzels. The Talos Principle 1 was a musing on what knowledge and memories we would save if a virus was threatening humanity and also why we must solve more puzzles. TTP2 expands on the environment, society, story, and sensory experience of the first game. [reviewed without expansion packs i.e. the base game is still good playing]
