    The Road to Elysim is exactly what you want in a DLC. More mind bending puzzles and challenges, a deep story and fantastic, varied world building and atmosphere. The stunningly detailed environment and solid 60fps performance help create an immersive and extremely enjoyable world to explore between puzzles. I would have loved to see a return of the mines and recorder mechanic, but maybe we could have this in a 3rd Talos Principle game? I can only hope for the series to continue.

    When I point that Road to Elysium is more of the same as The Talos Principle 2, I mean it as a huge compliment. We have more beautiful scenery, more philosophical dialogues from captivating characters and, above all, dozens of new creative puzzles that give great satisfaction to solve and prove the versatility of the original mechanics. Even without a big new mystery to uncover in the story, the quantity and quality of the new content make the DLC a sure recommendation for anyone who enjoyed the base game.

    Overall, Road to Elysium is more of what makes The Talos Principle 2 great, giving players new fun and challenging puzzles, more lore to uncover and lots of Easter eggs to find, with plenty of creative innovations across its three chapters that make it a worthwhile expansion to the base game.
