Better than the First
I loved Talos Principle; its one of my favorite puzzle games. Not just because of its puzzles, obviously, but because of its unique story and philosophical questions. But, its is a pretty simple experience all things considered. This Sequel adds more to the experience than I could've ever wanted. The story is much, much more developed. I love interacting with all these new characters, seeing how far the world has come since the previous game. I love seeing these new environments, new tools, new everything. Its a wonderful experience. I do think that its worth saying, a large chunk of this experience is enjoying the story; if you're not a fan of the previous game's story or didn't care for it, I don't know whether you'll enjoy this game, since the story is much more tied to the overall gameplay now. I don't think its perfect; I think having a mute protagonist is a bit of a weak point, especailly since our character does "talk" to others, but its only though text. I think some of the environments are a little tedious to move around through, taking several minutes just to get to another point to do something very simple. A basic way-point system would've been nice to mitigate some of these issues. But these are just nitpicks. Overall, I'm having a blast with Talos Principle 2. It does so much for me, and its exactly the puzzle experience I've been craving since the first game. Update: I wanted to add another point after having completed the game. I think its maybe a bit too long. Its a weird nitpick for sure, but by the end of the game, I was genuinely getting very exhausted of all the traveling and running around and the final puzzles to get the best ending are really a lot. Do I think they're bad? No, of course not. But it is tiring and tedious. If the game maybe lacked one of the zones, it might've been a better experience but its hard to say. But basically, if you want to really do everything, it is a LONG game. Still worth 5 stars I think, but its worth knowing.
Is this helpful to you?
