Croteam’s The Talos Principle 2, like its revolutionary predecessor, does a very fine job of using both puzzles and philosophical narrative to turn the world on its head, and sometimes literally so. Everything about the game aims to expand on the original. Where the first game focused on a single person grappling (via puzzles and text) with what it meant to be human, this generations-later sequel surrounds you with the robotic-bodied but human-programmed citizens of New Jerusalem and asks what it means to be part of a society.
In The Talos Principle 2, there are 12 main areas to explore, each a distinct, vividly rendered biome, among them a canyon pocketed with dazzling pools of water and a hilly crossing atop the back of titanic statues.
