The Talos Principle 2 is a first-person sci-fi puzzle game. It was developed by Croteam, the developers of the first game and of the Serious Sam series.

Plot

The game is set in the distant future, long after the extinction of humanity. It culture was, regardless, preserved in a city inhabited by robots, one of which is the playable character. The campaign tasks the player with investigating a mysterious megastructure.

Just like the previous installment, the game's storyline is highly complex and addresses serious philosophical issues, such as the point of civilization's existence or the nature of the universe.

Mechanics

The Talos Principle 2 is a first-person puzzle game. The gameplay thus revolves around exploration and solving clever puzzles.

These are very diverse, requiring manipulating machines and using powers such as controlling gravity or transferring our consciousness into other robots.

Curiously, some puzzles aren't mandatory to complete the game, serving as optional challenges for those who really want to put their brain to a test.

Game modes

The game only supports singleplayer.

Technical aspects

The visuals of The Talos Principle 2 are of rather high-quality, their main appeal being their cleverly designed locations. The soundtrack was composed by returning composer Damjan Mravunac, as well as Chris Christodoulou (known for the Risk of Rain series).
