The Talos Principle (check out the review) is a fantastically written, well-crafted puzzle game with a healthy side of philosophy. They are like nothing else and, if you ask me (and our reviewer), the sequel is even better. If you want to jump in and simply enjoy it as a puzzle game, you can do that. If you want to dig deeper and figure out what's going on in this world, you can do that. If you want to explore the meaning of consciousness, what it means to be human, and other heady questions mulled over by philosophers for ages, The Talos Principle has you covered there, too.
The Talos Principle is a modern classic, and The Talos Principle II is every bit the worthy sequel we could have hoped for, and I hope you enjoy both as much as I have. Now onto the interview!
You've said that creating the story for the sequel was challenging because... the first game is very self-contained. What was it like working on the sequel compared to the original?

Jonas: We kind of conceptualized where the story would go for Talos II and Talos III when we were making Talos I, so there was an idea to where it could go. And in fact, there's a lot of foreshadowing of things in Talos I and in Road To Gehenna, which is DLC, which we probably shouldn't have sold as DLC because it's basically an entire game. It's almost a side-quel. It's an enormous thing. So there's a lot of foreshadowing of a lot of important elements of Talos II then. So we knew a lot, but how to then actually make that work, and how to really pay off everything that the first game has set up... That was what made it challenging. That's what made it different.
Note: Spoilers for the end of The Talos Principle are shared in the following sections. These spoilers are also made available to the player very near the beginning of The Talos Principle II.
What made it different was that you were always building on the first game, and you always had the awareness of the first game. And what we tried to do with the second game was to really follow the logic of the world. At the end of the first game, a new civilization is created. Well, in most games, you would say, 'Well, yeah, but

Gabe Newell on why game delays are okay: 'Late is just for a little while. Suck is forever.'
Famed Nintendo director Shigeru Miyamoto once said, so the story goes, «A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.» Did he really utter those words? Apparently not. But Valve founder Gabe Newell shares the sentiment: He said so, in very plain terms, in the new Half-Life 25th anniversary documentary that released today on YouTube.
