The Talos Principle 2

About as close as I've gotten in a game to the real meaning of experiencing the sublime. It's not a perfect game, but overall has a nice feel, good immersion, really really solid voicing choices, and wonderfully deep and immersive world and story. Puzzles are a largely positive mix with generally difficulty curves, 9/10

гуд гаме, кубики в голове поперекладывать, сё такое

It hits the incredible middle ground of giving returning players what they wanted (more of the same puzzles) while at the same time making it feel fresh with new mechanics and taking up the challenge of moving the setting into the real world. The whole story should be just an excuse for the puzzles to exist but in fact I greatly enjoyed both the story and the conversations with the fellow "humans".

Runs amazing with optiscaler FSR4, Without it, it's a bit hit or miss with the smoothness and sharpness. UE5 game, pretty demanding otherwise. What a jump up from part 1. Art style is breathtaking and the puzzles are always tough enough to keep you thinking for 5-15 min and then are solvable. Intriguing story also about the role of humans in the world and really cool; big mysteries as a layer on top of everythingg

Talos 2 is stunning in terms of visuals, atmosphere, and puzzles. It draws you in almost as much as the first game, though it has far fewer historical references. This is one of those rare cases where computer graphics feel richer and even more vivid than real life. The puzzles themselves aren’t particularly difficult, but some of them rely not on logic, but on observation — you just have to notice everything in the environment, which sometimes feels a bit tricky. Still, that doesn’t ruin the experience. So what does? The game is excellent in almost every way, except for one thing: the sheer, useless verbosity of its writing. There’s a lot of text, and it’s honestly bad. It reads like it was written by a teenager who just discovered philosophical treatises and now feels compelled to share their “discoveries” of obvious truths. There isn’t a single genuinely deep idea in these texts — just endless rehashing of platitudes like “what is good and what is bad.” Worse still, the writers, who clearly know nothing about biology, keep hammering on the absurd idea that consciousness exists independently of matter. Even pop-sci pundits nowadays will tell you that consciousness is nothing more than the result of neural activity, biochemistry, and — most importantly — the way connections between neurons are formed. Consciousness doesn’t exist outside living matter, or at least matter that simulates life. And the game could have handled this so much better — for instance, by showing that Alexandra Drennan managed to create an artificial but living brain from synthetic cells, thus literally “bringing to life” the robots’ consciousness. But no — the writers, like children, cling to the primitive notion of “pure” consciousness. This isn’t philosophy anymore — it’s infantile nonsense. Seriously, learn some biology.

Очень красиво. И загадки интересные.

Very good game.

Ist ein super Spiel!!
