The Talos Principle 2 Reviews
Like Portal and other puzzle games, The Talos Principle 2 is a small marvel that, in this case, doesn't stop at its clever challenges or its technical section. He spices up his story with thought-provoking philosophical decisions and reflections, even after the story is over. A small wonder, now available in physical form.

The Talos Principle 2 is one of the best puzzle games I’ve played recently. It is also one of the best and most thought-provoking sci-fi stories I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. I can’t recommend it enough.
All in all, The Talos Principle 2 is a considerable improvement on the first opus. The puzzles and the tools for completing them are well thought-out, the narrative explores new, more contemporary ideas, and the game looks magnificent. On the other hand, it doesn't surprise as much as its predecessor and, despite excellent vocal performances from the actors, at times we miss the more directed, but highly reactive "religious-superreal-scientific" experience of the simulation of yesteryear.

The Talos Principle II does what is expected from a video game sequel, and it does it well. The puzzles remain clever, and the additional tools complement the old ones. The story is more prominent and plays out in a way that remains philosophical yet still provides some satisfaction, no matter which ending you get. It looks and runs great, and the experience never feels like it drags on. Whether you're a fan of the series or a puzzle fan in general, you owe it to yourself to a playthrough of The Talos Principle II.
More puzzles, more mechanics, more, much more story, many more characters, with much, much more depth, better graphics, better sound and better, much better performances by the voice actors that make us doubt at all times whether the robots are they alive or not

It’s a fantastic first-person (or third-person if you prefer) puzzler with a really compelling narrative hook to push it all along.
Talos Principle 2 is the best puzzler since 2011. This is as good as the genre gets and absolutely essential for puzzle game fans.
A lengthy game with puzzles around every corner, The Talos Principle 2 is another triumph for Croteam. We wondered how the developer would top the phenomenal first entry in this mind-boggling series, and it’s done so by providing a veritable feast of varied and engaging puzzles, backed up with thoughtful philosophy and stunning visuals that heighten its light exploration elements. If you play just one puzzle game this year make it this one. In fact, we’d go as far to say that The Talos Principle 2 is one of the best puzzle games of all time.
If you like Portal-style games, don't miss the new Talos Principle, which offers hours of puzzle challenges. The game offers a large number of rooms, a quality story, and constantly adding elements that you have to use to solve puzzle. Expect the best game in this genre for this year.

The Talos Principle 2 is a long-awaited sequel that does not disappoint. A strongly philosophical plot, engaging puzzles and fantastic vistas make the game an unforgettable experience. Despite the easier puzzles, new mechanics and tools add freshness to the gameplay. Visually impressive, though with minor optimization issues. For fans of the first part and lovers of puzzle games, this is an absolute must-play!

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.
The Talos Principle 2, the sequel to Croteam's acclaimed title, offers a wonderful experience full of puzzles that will test our logic and reasoning skills. Undoubtedly this sequel is not only a benchmark of the genre along with Portal, but it surpasses its predecessor in every aspect, especially in its narrative that seems more complex, since it does not revolve around the protagonist and his motivations, but also on the NPC that populate the world.

The Talos Principle 2 is going to make you think, and not just in the practical, puzzle-solving sense. The game will suck you into a superbly crafted story, full of melancholy, philosophical discourse, and great characters. It will play with your emotions, putting you in a zen-like environment, roasting your mind over a slow fire, only to poke you with revolving bursts of fatalism and cautious, inquisitive optimism. It can hardly be described, you’ll have to experience it to fully appreciate it.
The Talos Principle 2 is a virtually perfect sequel, expanding the experience of the first chapter in every respect. Richer, more varied, more beautiful to look at and even more filled with dilemmas and philosophical concepts. It is definitely not for everyone, but if you know how to give it the right attention it will reward you with many surprises, not only on a playful level.
