    What doesn't work is the fact that the disparate parts of puzzles and message board threads don't really have anything to do with each other.

    It is hard to judge a game like The Talos Principle:Road to Gehenna , because there is nothing that it does conspicuously wrong. Its biggest sin is that its predecessor didn’t leave any room for improvement. Nor did it give Road to Gehenna a compelling reason to exist.

    This is really superb. Wonderful new puzzles, not over-complicating or trying to be a level of impossible above what came before, but still offering new challenges and new scope for the same tools. And a whole new story that lives within Talos’s original, but is communicated entirely through community discussion, and feels extremely reactive to the dialogue choices you make. It’s everything you could want an expansion to be.

Not only is it full of puzzles that force you to put your gears in motion so that you get great satisfaction after you solve one, but it has a narrative strong enough to provide classy entertainment, way above that "more of the same" feeling the DLC market is filled with these days... Overall, a great experience I'd greatly recommend.… Full Review »

It has 5 worlds (to see the last, you have to get all the stars and the puzzles are significantly more difficult than any other puzzles in the game) with plenty of interesting puzzles. It's not just "more of the same" because although there are no new additions to your puzzle-solving arsenal, there is a deeper exploration of the mechanics. The story is even more text-based though, to the point where if you aren't interacting with the terminal then there really is no story at all. It's based around a community forum and is really well-implemented; though a bit too dry on the story front - everything's disconnected and there's not much interaction with other "characters".

    If you want more story, look elsewhere. If you just want a DLC that really brings out the best in the game's mechanics, this is a must-have. Also has a decent soundtrack as with the main game, and a few secrets.    … Full Review »
