Finally 100% The Talos Principle 2. After an excruciating 9 year wait, I am so happy to find that the game was very much worth the wait. Not only was the pacing and level design expertly crafted, but the story was thought-provoking and made me question my personal belief in AI and what they could mean for humanity. It ponders the question of a world where AI did not take over, but became the final hoorah of humanity to save their own way of life.
Where do we go from here? Do the new humans live in harmony and remain within the confines of security in the hopes of not repeating the same mistakes of their ancestors, or should they use the knowledge of their ancestors to become even more ambitious and truly reach for the stars to bring life to all the universe? It’s been quite some time since a story in a video game transcends its medium, but the Talos Principle II succeeds in spades.
