The Talos Principle II
88% Platforms Xbox Series X|S, PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 5 Genre Puzzle, Adventure, Indie Developer Croteam Publisher Devolver Digital Release November 02, 2023 While it is still a bit under the radar,
The Talos Principle 2 is one of the more demanding puzzle games we’ve played and is starting to get some mainstream shine. Your goal is always to find a way to the other end of a puzzle to press a button, which is obviously never simple. Played from first person, you will do a lot of moving and aiming lasers, placing boxes on pressure plates, and arranging fans. The puzzles alone are worth the price of admission, but there is also a very strong sci-fi story here about humanity creating AI before going extinct that needs to complete puzzles to prove their sapience. If anything, the moral and philosophical questions the game poses are just as challenging to grapple with as the puzzles themselves. The lore does tie directly with the first game, which is excellent as well, but not required to fully enjoy this one. The Talos Principle 2 | Release Date Trailer | Available November 2 | PC | PS5 | XSX/S
