An Overly-Human Sequal
In the first Talos Principle we had mystery and cold logic, the puzzles felt impossible at first analysis, and many puzzles required me come back the following day to complete them, selfsame to many of the secrets in the first game I have yet to find, or compelte, even after hours of exploration. The puzzle areas in the first game were amazing because they could be broken by careful platforming, or from carrying one object such as a cube, to another area, and this makes the Talos Principle 1 a masterpiece of game breaking logic, unfortunately the sequal is overpolitical, overhumanized, full of illogical humanist screed. I do not know why one of the main characters in this game is as effeminate speaking male cat lover, they're really pushing 21st century sociosexuality on asexual artificial intelligence. The puzzles in this game are far to simple, and I know this is because they intend for the game to reach and to please a wider audience, especially children, and women, but it's quite a disappointment to be able to finish a puzzle area within three minutes. Overall, I miss the emptiness, the loneliness, the quietness, and the cold hard logic of the first game, they seem to insist on making the Talos Principle into a narrative game, which is their prerogative, but the puzzles should still be difficult and not dumbed down for people who probably don't even like puzzles to begin with.
