A solid, enjoyable sequel that builds on the original with gorgeous vistas and environments that make the puzzles a joy to play. I really like it, despite a few big flaws:

I LOVED the original Talos Principal, and it still holds up today. Unreal game. This is a worthy successor as any for a puzzle game in that it does carry on in the same vein, and does it well. Most of the time .

It's not that any of the game is *bad*, but that there are so many new ideas and puzzle concepts introduced in each area of the game that the puzzles feel somewhat shallow compared to the original. I haven't played the DLC, and from what I've read they're much more challenging, which sounds sick. The story is a nice touch considering the end of the original game, but it feels too heavy handed at times for me.

I can appreciate where they came from in wanting to give more context to what happened after you escape the simulation . It just dragged on a bit too much, and cutting off your puzzling ability to push the story forward with mandatory puzzles is cool in theory, but the puzzles were so obvious it felt a bit underwhelming to have to trudge through the sequence to advance.

All in all: I'd buy it again, and I'd 100% all the puzzles and stars again. Does exactly what it says on the box, and looks good doing it too. If you're on the fence, get it on sale. You won't regret it unless you have the IQ of me trying to order pidser using oblivion
