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.
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.
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).
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.
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).

A thoughtful game
A lovely game, thoughtful, sincere and full of sage observations. The gameplay is pure and to the point, the game knows what it is. I was late to this style of game and it is exactly what I need, right now: Single player, focussed and quick to start up and get into, every day.

A Case Study Of How Sequels Should Be
Talos 1 was an amazing game that I didn't think needed a sequel, but here we are. If tp2 is like Portal 1, than TP2 is like Portal 2. And like Portal 2, it expands on and in many ways, completely outdoes the first game. To start off with, TP2, much like TP1, is a puzzle game that is story heavy and very rooted in philosophy. While the first game was about the human mind, this one centers around the ideas of civilization and advancement. It can be a bit on the nose at times, like when it brings up environmentalism, but it isn't hamfisted and is as deep, if not deeper than the first game. The new cast of characters are also very likeable and interesting. Each with their own quirks and interpretations on what is going on. I have to say, the writing is excellent. The world building is also excellent. Unlike the first game the areas are open to exploration. Each main area is crafted quite well and the visuals are outstanding. This may not be the most impressive game technologically, but the assets and the way they are used... well let's say that right now this may be the most beautiful game I've seen. Now on to the puzzles. Well its more of the same basic flow. Lasers and switches, but with double if not more the amount of objects and gimmicks to keep it from being stale. And that's a good thing because the game is probably twice as long as the first, though it could do with a little less bloat in certain areas. There were a few puzzles that kinda made me think "developer logic" and I had to look up, but most of them you will find the solution staring you in the face with enough time. Oh, and they thankfully got rid of the mines outside of 1 specific area. As for the dlc, its hit and miss. The main focus, Isle of the blessed, is worth playing as it is a great epilogue and gives the characters closer. The other 2 are side stories, one of which is only worth playing if you are a puzzle master. All in all, Talos Principal 2 is probably the best puzzle game to date.
