This game wasn't even on my radar, nor had I ever heard of the first one. I gave an advertisement for this game a casual glance and decided to try it out. Talk about a diamond in the rough! This is one of those titles that is much more than just a game. It is an experience.. one so powerful that it evokes questions you didn't know you had about the universe around you and your place in it. Much more than just another puzzle game, this is an incredibly detailed world that will have you pondering the human nature from a similar, yet different, triangulated point of view. A "through the silicon glass" type of experience that is layered up with challenges that require a deep level of intelligence and observation. I'm glad I gave The Talos Principle 2 a chance because this story has truly enriched my life and reinvigorated my wanderlust of the universe, and I haven't even finished my first playthrough of it. If you're even thinking about trying out this game, please do it. You owe it to yourself to experience this masterpiece that rises above the countless moneygrabbing titles out there today. This one is something different, and it will change you for the better.
