Nov 12, 2023The Talos Principle 2 is a masterpiece that ventures into ingenious puzzles and the philosophical universe of deep questions. Even though it is aimed at audiences looking for exciting, challenging and honest intellectual stimulation, this is a less intimidating experience than it may seem, thanks to the flexibility to progress through the campaign and the certainty that each puzzle already contains everything necessary to solve it. Few games have given me so much satisfaction with the beauty of seeing everything connect and make sense of the riddles, making me run to the next. This is one of the best games of 2023 and I'm humbly delighted to see its existence.

Nov 2, 2023Whether you’re pondering the meaning of life and existence or racking your brains solving some carefully crafted puzzles, The Talos Principle 2 takes everything great about the first game and refines it to perfection. Croteam spins philosophy in just the right light, asking hard-hitting questions in a lenient and digestible manner while presenting the player with a wealth of ways you can respond to them. But if you’re just here to solve a few puzzles, there’s no skimping on the quality here at all, and you’re free to skip right through the plot if you want to get straight to the mind melting.

Nov 7, 2023The Talos Principle II’s expertly designed puzzles are kept interesting and engaging throughout a lengthy thirty-hour runtime by the incremental introduction of consistently intriguing mechanics. Pairing well with pragmatic problem solving is a story that delves into ancient Greek philosophy and mythology that effectively asks unimaginably important questions that can’t possibly be answered. It’s common to find an experience that makes you feel, and equally common to find one that makes you think, but The Talos Principle II is a rare cross-section that allows you to do both simultaneously.

Apr 16, 2024Like Portal and other puzzle games, The Talos Principle 2 is a small wonder that, in this case, does not stop at its intelligent challenges or its technical section. It spices its story with decisions and philosophical reflections that invite to think, even once the story is over. A small wonder, already available in physical format.
