Even though the first game already had a pretty satisfactory, well wrapped up plot, the sequel still managed to make a good follow up. It's been very interesting to see the Talos world unfold with all the new characters and interactions. I absolutely ADORED the puzzles, bringing back the best gimmicks and features from the first games, and adding a good bunch of new mechanics throughout the whole game. Every level feels different and well-designed. I feel like there were no frustrating puzzles, although they can get quite difficult but they were always a fun challenge. I love puzzle games and the puzzles in The Talos Principle have always been some of the ones I enjoy solving the most, to the point I was left wanting more despite spending around 40 hours for my 100% completion. The only negative aspect of the game is that I didn't feel like the files and pacing overall weren't as engaging as they could've been (and the ending section being a bit lackluster), but I still really liked slowly discovering small bits and pieces of the lore, and reading about philosophical themes I wasn't expecting on this sequel, but that I still found really interesting.
