Description



Born into a new world where biological humanity is extinct but human culture lives on in a city of robots, you find yourself swept up in a mind-bending adventure involving a mysterious megastructure hiding enormous powers.

The more you discover, the more you will be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos and the purpose of civilization. The broken promise of a better tomorrow, the fear of repeating humankind’s mistakes, faith in reason or renouncing humanity altogether - the choices you make and the sides you take will determine the course of events.

A New Generation of Puzzles

Solve a wide array of puzzles with varying difficulty levels, including clever metapuzzles and highly challenging Gold puzzles. Finish the game without solving every puzzle, or pursue the rewards of complete mastery. A variety of new abilities, such as gravity manipulation and mind transference, join the established mechanics of the original Talos Principle, creating a fresh but familiar experience.

A Philosophical Odyssey

Take the next step forward in the story of The Talos Principle in a thought-provoking, character-driven interactive story with multiple endings penned by returning writers Jonas Kyratzes (The Eternal Cylinder, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos) and Tom Jubert (The Swapper, Subnautica), joined by Verena Kyratzes (The Hand of Merlin, Serious Sam 4).

Brave New World

Explore more than a dozen all-new environments, from a city on the brink of a paradigm shift to the varied landscapes of a mysterious island that holds the keys to the future. Take a break from puzzle-solving to discover long-buried secrets and strands of forgotten history.

The Melodies of Creation

Immerse yourself in the rich, bittersweet world of The Talos Principle with a stunning soundtrack by master composer Damjan Mravunac (Serious Sam, The Talos Principle), with a guest appearance by Chris Christodoulou (Risk of Rain 1 and 2).

Pretty good. I enjoyed 1 more personally. I think this games biggest flaw is there is WAY too much walking around. Maps are too big for no reason. Puzzles and story felt less rewarding over all than the first game.

Absolute masterpiece. The story, the setting, the environment, the puzzles, everything is just amazing. I love first game, but devs just outdid themselves with the sequel. If you liked the first game, then this one is a

A Sequel That Expands the Scale but Loses the Spark The Talos Principle 2 aims higher than its predecessor in almost every way — bigger environments, a broader narrative, more complex ideas. On paper, it should be a

Very big difference to the 1st part. Very story rich, am a bit annoyed tho when your in game characters call you and then argue about you. 10/10 Definetly worth the price. Still worth even if it was 60€.

Talos 1 is a favourite of mine but this one 70gb brick turned me off. Besides a lot of annyoing things in the game like: you can't read through the dialogue quickly and skip the audio because the sentences are not

I really enjoyed the first The Talos Principle, and this sequel impressed me even more. The semi-open zone structure adds a welcome sense of exploration that I really appreciated. The environments are varied, often
