The Talos Principle 2 is a thought-provoking first-person puzzle experience that greatly expands on the first game's philosophical themes and stunning environments with increasingly mind-bending challenges.

Let's begin with the negatives: To some extent I felt that the story was a bit too much, especially in the city area. I cannot say that I'm very fond of the New Jerusalem city and the plotlines there altogether. I found some of the dialogue a bit goofy and cringy. Overall, I would have enjoyed this game just as much if the narrative was delivered like in Talos 1. I liked the museum part though and some of the humor surrounding the archological finding exhibitions. The music was ok, but left a lot to desire in later levels; particularly in the worlds in the west. I found the game mechanics a bit clunkier compared to that in Talos 1. I'm beginning to understand all the hate against Unreal Engine Given the gameplay of Talos 1, I had some expectations on improvements that I feel like it kind of failed to some extent. My expectations were that they would take what's good on the previous title and improve on it but some of it was lost. I liked the pyramid desert levels at night with neon effects, I would have liked to see more of that. I also liked the Gothic themed levels in Talos 1 and would have hoped to experience more of that stuff wich some more historic roots. The world levels were good but they kind of felt more anonymous and didn't touch me. I did like when they built things vertically, with tall structures and you move considerably in altitude like the Anthropic Hills world. The north worlds were cool and I think the south worlds were beautiful. The East was Ok and I would say that some of the worlds in the West were a bit of a disappointment. I think the design of the pyramid and the megastructure was fantastic and I loved the new inventions, especially those that challenge your spatial perceptions of up and down and left and right in the puzzles. Puzzles such as the Thrust Vector were also very innovative and I would look forward to more of that kind. Some puzzles felt a bit off and like an ugly cornercase solution but they were very few and overall I think this is a good and worthy continuation of the Talos 1. I also like their touch on philosophy and the opportunity I get to learn about real world philosophers such as Chestertons work etc.

Every market we collect.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

EN: A deeply philosophical puzzle game, and far from the easiest, it sometimes challenges you to find quite unconventional solutions, but the reward is stunning, unrealistic graphics. The plot, the characters, their experiences, and their thoughts draw you in from the very first minutes, and even after completing the entire game and all the expansions, the game leaves a very pleasant, lingering aftertaste. It's easy to get lost in the game for hundreds of hours or more, especially if you set out to earn all the achievements, but it's worth it. It's a rare case where a game benefits both your mind and your worldview, while also providing relaxation. A definite recommendation for fans of this series and for fans of the genre who don't take shortcuts. RU: глубоко философская игра-головоломка и далеко не из самых простых, провоцирующая искать в ней порой весьма нетривиальные решения, но наградой тому - потрясающая нереальной реалистичностью графики. сюжет, герои, их переживания, мысли вовлекают с первых минут и даже закончив полностью сюжет и все дополнения, игра оставляет очень приятное долгое послевкусие. В игре легко можно потеряться на сотни часов и более, особенно если задаться целью получить все достижения, но оно в любом случае того стоит. Тот редкий случай, когда игра приносит пользу и для ума, и для мировоззрения, и дает отдых. Абсолютная рекомендация для поклонников этой серии игр и для поклонников жанра, неприемлющих простых путей.
An amazing experience, the story and characters are really well done here. I do reccomend trying out the first game before getting into this one, but it is not needed to understand what's happening. The maps are HUGE, but there is a navigator so you wont miss on any important stuff. The game went pretty easy with the stars here, and the only moments where I had to really think was in the golden gates (at least for me). I still haven't tried the DLC, so there might be some harder puzzles there after they made sure you understood the mechanics. This game offers lots of new items and ways to play around with, really enjoyed everything this game had to offer
I'm always sceptical when there's a sequel to an awesome game but this one really convinced me! Talos Principle 2 has more to offer than the first, more puzzles, more story, more philosophical questions about life and human's impact on the environment - it's such a great mix that I enjoyed a lot! The story so often got me thinking about my own view of the world. Some puzzles are really complex but only because your mind traps you into thinking that there's only one solution to the problem - you have to try out different options and possibilities, think out of the box and observe puzzles rooms from different viewpoints. Hardly any other game sets my mind so much on fire as this one - and I loved it!
tout simplement génial
Brilliant game that is very addictive
Solving tough puzzles is hella fun and rewarding :P Be sure to get the DLC if you like the base game, there are the real nutcrackers.
Jogo excelente com puzzle desafiadores
