amazing game, really good sequel

Puzzles are quite good but the lore is really boring. I had to skip most dialogues. Sentences we can use as answers during dialogues are really childish an full of cheap liberal philosophy, So if youre looking for good puzzles that's a good game but if youre looking for good SF metaphysical thinking go play Mass Effect 1 and 2.

WHAT A MASTERPIECE !! I never thought they could match the wow factor and incredible storyline of the first game, but i was wrong. The Talos Principle 2 is the follow up story of the first game, one if not my favorite puzzle game and in my humble opinion above even Portal 1 & 2. What else is left after civilization is doomed and a new more advance human like group of people rise up, no but seriously, civilization is a huge part of what humans are capable of, but growing up, moving forward, stagnant, risks, rewards, that's what the game tries to find and question, the puzzles are while similar to the first game, introduces many more things and new combinations too, is massive in so many ways too, the story is bigger, the characters, the map itself is HUGE, i just can't tell you more than what people might have told you already. One thing you have to know is that the first game was far more deeper in terms of story telling and philosophy, the character progression and ending, and sometimes the sequel feels too pretentious, specially because the story is bigger anyways, you HAVE to play the sequel, is a must, the final puzzle of the game is brilliant and is basically a test to all of the things you learned through the journey, also, one of the best endings I've seen (the first The Talos Principle game ending was more impactful though). Overall Score: 9.4/10

I haven't bought a game at full price in quite a while, but I just couldn't help myself when it came to The Talos Principle 2. Absolutely adored the first game, played through its entirety + the Road to Gehenna DLC. Knew I'd fall in love with this, and I was right! Even moreso, actually. I would dare say this is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time now. I am a gigantic fan of the new puzzle elements. My favorite has to be the combiner, where you get the difference of two colors in an RGB setting. But, all of them are fantastic, and lead to plenty of creative solutions. My only complaint with them is that, in the final 3 areas, they go super underutilized. Especially the Activator, which I kind of expected to be used more, but, eh. Maybe in the DLC? Performance is pretty good. I know that doesn't mean much when I've got a high-end gaming PC, but I thought I should throw that in there. The only weird thing is that there is no option to disable upscaling technology for the game. Really weird decision. The best you can do is set the quality to "Native," but it still uses upscaling, for some reason. I could tell because of the slight ghosting on character's mouths when they speak. The puzzles in this title are much easier than in the original Talos Principle. The puzzles in the first game had me tearing my hair out at parts, the worst I got from this was a small huff. Whether or not that's a positive is up to you. To me, personally, it was a positive. The writing and voice acting was really good, and I definitely want more. Very excited for The Talos Principle 3. I know there's DLC, but charging nearly the same price as the base game for DLC is kind of wild, so I'll wait for a sale on that. Overall, very good. Highly recommend. Plays great on Linux, too.
