An improvement on the formula
The first Talos game was great. This next installment takes everything that was great about the first and improves on it in every way.
Graphically, it is gorgeous and the animations are much smoother. The color saturation and the lighting, everything just comes together to make this a stunning game to look at.

The first Talos game was great. This next installment takes everything that was great about the first and improves on it in every way.
Graphically, it is gorgeous and the animations are much smoother. The color saturation and the lighting, everything just comes together to make this a stunning game to look at.
The story is another mix of mystery, philosophy, and growth. And, this time, we have a whole cast of characters to interact with which adds so much more depth to the whole thing. There's multiple threads happening here, and your choices influence the outcome.
Of course, the puzzles are the main part of the game. We have brand new types of puzzles, all introduced at a steady rate to keep it challenging and interesting, but also give you enough time with each new element to feel like you've gotten a good handle on it. I quite enjoyed all of these new elements.
The DLC's were also great. They introduce more challenging puzzles and continue the story from the main game.
If you liked the first game, you'll love this follow-up. If you never played the original, you won't be lost here. Feel free to jump right in. (Though with the remaster out, I'd definitely recommend checking it out as well.)
