The Talos Principle 2 is a masterpiece that ventures into puzzles and the philosophical universe of deep questions. Although it is aimed at an audience that seeks exciting, challenging and honest intellectual stimuli, this is a less intimidating experience than it may seem, thanks to the flexibility to advance in the campaign and the certainty that each puzzle already brings with it everything necessary to solve it. Few games have given me so much satisfaction with the beauty of seeing it all connect and finally unravel the riddle before me, making me rush right to the next one. This is one of the best games of 2023 and I'm glad it exists.

The Talos Principle II evolves the first game in every way, making it a cornerstone of the genre. Its variety intrigues players, who will spend more hours than anticipated due to the game's length and challenge, constantly urging you to achieve 100% completion. It's complex enough to make you think but never too difficult. The perfect puzzle game.

Almost ten years after its illustrious predecessor, Croteam manages to outdo itself. The Talos Principle 2 is a wonderful adventure, elegantly blending intricate puzzles and philosophical themes. The resulting play experience is of great depth, taking players by the hand through the satisfaction of puzzle solving and reflection on big existential questions. A great little masterpiece of the genre, which perhaps precisely because of its peculiarities (and the absence of an Italian translation), may lose appeal to the general public. Trust us, however: the riddles of Prometheus are well worth the effort.

The Talos Principle 2 takes Croteam's series to new horizons, both in terms of puzzles and the narrative and philosophical questions it proposes to players. The team led by Mario Kotlar and Verena Kyratzes has been able to outdo themselves, and has given us a title that goes beyond the very concept of a game. Love it, and don't deprive yourself of it.

The Talos Principle 2 is going to make you think, and not just in the practical, puzzle-solving sense. The game will suck you into a superbly crafted story, full of melancholy, philosophical discourse, and great characters. It will play with your emotions, putting you in a zen-like environment, roasting your mind over a slow fire, only to poke you with revolving bursts of fatalism and cautious, inquisitive optimism. It can hardly be described, you’ll have to experience it to fully appreciate it.

The Talos Principle 2 is one of the best puzzle games I’ve played recently. It is also one of the best and most thought-provoking sci-fi stories I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. I can’t recommend it enough.

All in all, The Talos Principle 2 is a considerable improvement on the first opus. The puzzles and the tools for completing them are well thought-out, the narrative explores new, more contemporary ideas, and the game looks magnificent. On the other hand, it doesn't surprise as much as its predecessor and, despite excellent vocal performances from the actors, at times we miss the more directed, but highly reactive "religious-superreal-scientific" experience of the simulation of yesteryear.

It’s a fantastic first-person (or third-person if you prefer) puzzler with a really compelling narrative hook to push it all along.

The Talos Principle 2 is a virtually perfect sequel, expanding the experience of the first chapter in every respect. Richer, more varied, more beautiful to look at and even more filled with dilemmas and philosophical concepts. It is definitely not for everyone, but if you know how to give it the right attention it will reward you with many surprises, not only on a playful level.

The Talos Principle 2 is a long-awaited sequel that does not disappoint. A strongly philosophical plot, engaging puzzles and fantastic vistas make the game an unforgettable experience. Despite the easier puzzles, new mechanics and tools add freshness to the gameplay. Visually impressive, though with minor optimization issues. For fans of the first part and lovers of puzzle games, this is an absolute must-play!
