Just as enjoyable as the original, but definitely bring a partner as solo is a chore.
Fantastic co-op gameplay. I do wish the controls were configurable though.
The original Talos was a brilliant little game. Over 100 puzzles, some truly clever hidden stars which required moving parts in multiple areas, and a decent story which didn't get in the way. The sequel... is not. I'm around 3/4 of the way through. Of the 80 'base' puzzles I've done only 2 or 3 required any significant thought. 1 or 2 felt "cheap", doing things that don't work elsewhere but magically do there. The stars have been pitiful ("go find X and follow it" is not a puzzle). The puzzles in the Megastructure are extremely basic. The Tetromino placement to build bridges is less of a puzzle and more of simple trial and error with horrible controls. The lack of controller support is infuriating and reinforces the clunky controls throughout the game. And then there is the absolute slog from the NPCs. 90% of the time I have no interest in what they are saying, I'm playing a puzzle game for the puzzles and to get away from reality, not to have NPCs give a constant reminder that humans destroyed the world and to play political simulator. Once my fiancee and I finish, I don't see us returning to 100% the achievements. It simply isn't worth the hours of clicking through dialog and redoing trivial puzzles.
