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.

to me this game surpasses portal. i know, i know that's sacrilege. it works my brain hard on some puzzles and forces me to work back logically from the goal. i love that. sometimes stumped but never overly frustrated. where portal has quirky humour, tp2 has philosophy which personally appeals to me more. i found portal puzzles too easy. i was rarely stumped. it erred on the easy side which i understand for a game with mass appeal but tp2 treats you more intelligently without causing you to throw your steam deck across the room. regardless great work by the team and a must if you have even a passing interest in puzzle games.

I played the first one years ago and wondered what they could do with it when they announced the second game. They visited all important philosophies in the first game, so what could the story be about? I would say, like today, it is about putting these theories into practice. I quite liked it, though it is a bit different to Talos Principle 1. 3/4 of the puzzles felt easier than the average ones of the first. Interestingly that is mentioned by ingame characters twice or so, meaning the devs are aware but did not manage to keep the level. Still, the other quarter managed to make me walk up and down the levels for some time and I really enjoyed them. I am glad I refused reading any guides, made it feel rewarding to solve all of them. Although some were a bit too convoluted. I like it when I can see the task right away but spend the time solving it. Puzzles are not side-by-side like they used to, there are some walking distances in between of varying sizes. But as you are not traveling through different epochs of human history but a physical place, the variety in the game had to be crafted like this. Personally, as someone who is a bit into architecture, I liked the maps, though sometimes when I knew I had to walk to a far end I wished we had golf carts. The story is well made and ambitious, though there is more or less only one big decision like in the first game. I liked how the DLCs had a lighter tone after the ending of the main game. It felt like long-needed holidays, especially with the tropical island theme in one of them. And with the extra lore in them I ended up liking every character on their own. The game wrapped itself up nicely. So tl;dr, if you liked the first and don't mind walking a bit more and having some easier puzzles for a larger chunk of the game, go for it!

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.

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!
