Born into a new world where biological humanity is extinct but human culture lives on in a city of robots, you find yourself swept up in a mind-bending adventure involving a mysterious megastructure hiding enormous powers.
The more you discover, the more you will be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos and the purpose of civilization. The broken promise of a better tomorrow, the fear of repeating humankind’s mistakes, faith in reason or renouncing humanity altogether - the choices you make and the sides you take will determine the course of events.
A New Generation of Puzzles
Solve a wide array of puzzles with varying difficulty levels, including clever metapuzzles and highly challenging Gold puzzles. Finish the game without solving every puzzle, or pursue the rewards of complete mastery. A variety of new abilities, such as gravity manipulation and mind transference, join the established mechanics of the original Talos Principle, creating a fresh but familiar experience.
A Philosophical Odyssey
Take the next step forward in the story of The Talos Principle in a thought-provoking, character-driven interactive story with multiple endings penned by returning writers Jonas Kyratzes (The Eternal Cylinder, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos) and Tom Jubert (The Swapper, Subnautica), joined by Verena Kyratzes (The Hand of Merlin, Serious Sam 4).
Brave New World
Explore more than a dozen all-new environments, from a city on the brink of a paradigm shift to the varied landscapes of a mysterious island that holds the keys to the future. Take a break from puzzle-solving to discover long-buried secrets and strands of forgotten history.
The Melodies of Creation
Immerse yourself in the rich, bittersweet world of The Talos Principle with a stunning soundtrack by master composer Damjan Mravunac (Serious Sam, The Talos Principle), with a guest appearance by Chris Christodoulou (Risk of Rain 1 and 2).
If I were the type to really care about the VGAs and other video game awards, I would probably be annoyed at how robbed this game was to not even be nominated for GOTY. As it stands, I do believe it was robbed, I just don't see enough value in those awards to care: just a foolishness to have snubbed such a gem of a game. This game right here is the single best experience I have had gaming in all of 2023 and is a strong contender for one of the best ever. If it wasn't for the fact that puzzle games are not a gametype everyone would like, I would be giving this game a 10 out of 10 without a second thought, it's that good. But seeing how some people just will not enjoy it for the nature of what it is, that is not possible by my own rules. But know this, miss out at your own loss. This is something special like we almost never see.
I never suspected this to be such a beauty and an expansion of the world of the 1st episode. 80GB, I was like yeah, they cranked up to textures big deal, new color big deal... NOPE! This is an immense adventure, with text choices, incredible graphics, exploring and excitement. This isn't just a puzzle game anymore, and if the 1st was a bit... well let's say it ugly, the esthetics in this one are A-MA-ZING.
Definitively would recommend, I'm just astonished I haven't heard about this game at all. How??
PS playing the first is still recommend for the Aaaah ond Oooh's of the story
This is one of the pieces that changes your perception of the world. Playing this game is like reading a book with a deep philosophical point. For me, it shows what humanity could look like one day—no more existential stress, no more hate or wars, just enlightened human beings surrounded by beautiful nature and architecture, solving deep philosophical riddles about the nature of existence. Is it really so unattainable?
Graphics have huge issues even after trying out different setting combinations for 30 minutes. With some settings textures are flickering, with some they are blurry and others the camera movement breaks them. I read online that others have had similar issues without proper solution, so refunding.
Really wanted to play the sequel after remembering fondly the first game from years back, but let's see if the issues will ever be fixed.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
