You can finish the game without solving every puzzle, but those seeking true mastery can attempt to conquer them all. The Talos Principle 2 will feel familiar but fresh at the same time. The sequel builds on the first-person 3D puzzle design of the original game, including using refractors to direct beams of light and creating copies of yourself to trigger switches and bypass obstacles.īut these established puzzles are also joined by new gameplay including gravity manipulation and mind transference-but we’ll let you discover these intricacies of these unique mechanics for yourself. There are, naturally, puzzles to solve here as well: and with varying levels of difficulty to suit any player. It wants you to think-but not only about its epic narrative.

Pretty heavy, right? The Talos Principle 2 doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to the depth of its story. You embark on a quest to investigate a mysterious megastructure, and along the way you’ll be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos, faith versus reason, and the fear of repeating humankind’s mistakes. Your adventure in The Talos Principle 2 begins in an era where humanity as we know it has long gone extinct, but our culture lives on in a world inhabited by robots made in our image.

More mind-bending puzzles to solve, more surreal environments to explore, more secrets to uncover, a deeper story to lose yourself in, and bigger questions to boggle your brain. It will greatly (and we mean greatly) expand on everything that made the original special. They’re still my least favorite due to all the waiting though, hope they rework them somehow if they come back in 2.The Talos Principle 2, launching on PlayStation 5 later this year, is the long-awaited sequel to this beloved puzzle game. I’m seeing a lot of responses featuring puzzles with recorders, and I’m pleasantly surprised to report that after 3ish playthroughs separated by a few years, I think my neurons have finally formed and connected when it comes to recorders, as I’ve had a lot more success in solving those puzzles this go around. Currently stuck on the one that has only two jammers and no other tools. I just got to the secret world again and some of the puzzles there are a real doozy also. They clearly knew crater was nuts since the dang thing is split into THREE pieces (prisoner, star, another star). I’ve noticed after going through Gehenna again that the “solution” to a lot of puzzles is only really solving the puzzle halfway, and if you can go a step or two farther there’s a star. The crater is the most insane puzzle by far, especially if you include the stars. I spent almost 30 minutes looking for a second set of keys before trying the door. Makes me opt to skip this puzzle and Ascension and just go for Floor 6.ĭumb Dumb Mine (Secret A) - the ONLY level that has two gates open with the same key. Tower floor (5)- I just keep making minor mistakes in the recording and have to redo it way too many times. I still prefer to do the fan-box jump cheese than to remember I need to move the blue laser from 'Jammer Quarantine' to 'Three connectors and a Fan' first Weathertop's bonus star (C3) - I despise this star, even today.

I foolishly thought I had to get ALL the connectors out of the jail (per the notion that the puzzle names are often a hint into the methodology of the solve), despite the fact that I was practically already done with the puzzle by the time I got stuck.ĭumbwaiter (C5) - took way too long to figure out the connector needed to sit on a hexahedron to reach the right angle. I don't know where to start on which puzzles in Gehenna tripped me up for longer than they should.īut for the base game, I'd have to go with PrisonBreak (C7) for being stuck the longest.
