I played it. I have things to say.

What I loved, what annoyed me and whether I recommend it. No scores, and no spoiling the story for anyone.

The Talos Principle 2

Great puzzles, improved exploration and a lot more dialogue (which isn't always a good thing), but also good doses of humor. Those were 50 very well spent hours!

Loved

  • More logical, intuitive puzzles, in a good way
  • Much easier to explore and find the extras
  • There are cats, and you can pet one
  • Gave me a few good laughs

Not for me

  • Lots of blah blah blah and lots of walking
  • Connecting the bridges and the tetrominoes
  • 56.5 h played
  • On Steam, May 13, 2024

A corner for every game.

Every game I play a lot gets its own space, with my thoughts, videos and tips. When I move on, it goes to the shelf.

Now with moving pictures.

Some opinions get too big to write down. So I turn on the mic, record the playthrough and take the conversation to YouTube.

Over already? Then I'll play it again!

Some games are short and so much fun that you even feel a little sad when they end, so we look for an excuse to play them one more time.
