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).

Recommended for the puzzles but the philosophy/history lessons get bogged down by reddit-tier intellectualism. Guys, guys, super advanced robots in the future would know that Galileo was wrong. He was of course correct

TTP2 left me with quite... mixed feelings. I deeply adore the first TTP, it has become my favourite game of all time when i played it for the first time, and after many years it still is. I've been dying to see the

-I got the game soon after launch so things might have changed- I was very excited for this one having really enjoyed the original but I didn't enjoy Talos 2. In the original I thoroughly enjoyed the environment, story,

The Talos Principle 2 is a tough game to review. On the one hand, it's an amazing puzzle game that improves on the gameplay of the first game with interesting puzzle mechanics, fantastic environments and a nice chill

I would give it a middle thumb if I could. I thought the actual puzzle elements of the game were pretty well done. There's quite a few new gadgets which are cool, and the game does a good job at introducing them slowly.
