The Talos Principle 2
Description
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).

89/100
Not just a great sequel, but a thoughtful and human narrative adventure wrapped in a satisfying and beautiful puzzle game.

8.75/10
The Talos Principle II is a long game, perhaps to a fault. I clocked in around 34 hours, and despite my generally consistent enthusiasm, I was ready to see the end before it hit me with another round of puzzles or a story-focused exploration segment. It’s an ambitious and ultimately well-made package with many social, artistic, and scientific ideas that I’ll be thinking about for the foreseeable future, long after the solution to its final riddle has faded from memory. That enlightenment makes The Talos Principle II’s challenges worth the effort.

Talos Principle 2
Great game. Great puzzles. Great story. Much to think about. Easy to see a lot of thought went into this game. If you like puzzles, this is the one.

Amazing Game. Runs on Mac with Crossover
It's an amazing game. A bit too much chatting with characters for my taste (I want focus on the beauty of the world and its puzzles). The puzzles are a bit easier than in Talos 1, but they have some new intelligent and thought provoking mechanics (like color mixing with the lasers, up-side-down-gravity areas). The 12 puzzle worlds are gigantic compared to Talos 1, lots of stuff to explore, plus the Hub zone with additional puzzles. As I am a Mac gamer on a Mac mini M4 Pro (24 GB Ram, 16 core GPU), I want to add my 2 cents for others who are interested in this game, but don't own a Windows Machine. Officially, it's a Windows-only game, but it can run on Mac: - With the current version of Crossover (24.0.5), the game is playable with some graphical glitches (trees not rendering correctly, some walls are invisible / oddly shaped). This is a bit of distraction and takes some of the immersion into the world, but the puzzles are playable. - With the latest preview version of Crossover (2024-12-20), all the glitches I saw are gone. I.e. I believe we can expect full Mac compatibility with Crossover 25 and have the "original" game experience. I can play Talos 2 lag-free on medium to high graphics settings at around 50 FPS with my Mac mini M4 Pro on a 4K display.
