A masterpiece. Compared to the first : huge maps, monumentally detailed architecture, breathtaking landscapes, more developped characters, a city to visit, hours of dialogues, impeccable voice acting, somewhat even better built puzzles, a slew of easter eggs. Should be played after finishing the first one.

Amazing. 9/10. Basically a puzzle-collectathon-adventure game. Blows the first game out of the water. The puzzles are well-designed and have a nice difficulty progression. If you don't think you're good at puzzles, don't worry- you don't have to solve every puzzle to finish the game, and in fact there is an item hidden throughout the world which allows you to skip a puzzle. Gone are the turrets and mines from the first game, and in their place are a ton of new puzzle mechanics. My only complaint is that some of the best puzzle pieces are underutilized- I would have liked to see more of the body-swapping mechanic, for example. There is also a fantastic sci-fi story. The story is on a whole different scale from the first game, with tons of memorable characters and some really interesting mysteries that these characters must solve. Very existential themes. I found myself heavily invested in the story and characters right from the beginning. The dialogue is great- sometimes funny, sometimes philosophical, sometimes both. You'll want to go out of your way to seek out characters and talk to them. I found the puzzles in the main game fairly easy, with the exception of a few of the golden puzzles near the end of the game. The DLCs range from medium difficulty to extremely challenging. If you find the puzzles in the main game too easy, Into The Abyss will be a welcome change of pace. If you found the main game to be fairly difficult, you might still enjoy isles of the blessed, which is comparable in difficulty to the main game and serves as a sort of epilogue to the story.

Nov. 2024

The first game had decent puzzles and a great atmosphere. The second game has decent puzzles and out-of-this-world awesome atmosphere. The game is really beautiful, the story is captivating and the characters are loveable. I loved the interactions with and between my crew members. It's really hard to make sequels to a puzzle game with the "you are doing tests, but there is actually something bigger going on." But Portal did it, and so did The Talos Principle!

Sept. 2024

Talos Principle 2 is what Portal 2 was to Portal 1. An incredible expansion on its predecessor in every possible way and nailing it in all regards. This is apex tier puzzling. Not a bad puzzle among the lot and not a single one felt cheap and they were always fun to solve. Bonus if you're into philosophy. There's a lot of it in the game if you want to engage in the narrative. And like the puzzles the philosophy stuff wasn't dumbed down but rather made engaging and understandable for those of us who only have a superficial knowledge. Anyhoo, this is an absolute must-play and gets the highest of recommendation from me! Runs well on a Deck. Mid-low settings at 30fps with some tweaks to find what looks/performs best for your taste.

Aug. 2024

This game is tightly made, like the world's best watch. The world building is incredible. The graphics are eye-popping. What an incredible experience. This game mentions in the DLC that if just one person has their life improved by what you created, then it is a success. I can say that without a doubt this game is a success.
