"Not Just Another Puzzle Game": The Talos Principle 2 Preview

is the sequel to 2014’s, by developer Croteam and publisher Devolver Digital. Those familiar with the first game know it primarily centered around interesting puzzles and sci-fi storylines. Though its sequel is, for the most part, one-in-the-same as far as overall general content, does attempt a fresh new feel to keep players thinking outside the box.

While exploring the new human utopia of New Jerusalem, players may discover a monument dedicated to the Progenitor’s love of cats where there are several real cats featured, including one affectionately named Stanley Biscuits.

Though it may not be something vital to the game, it adds a little bit more realness to a futuristic sci-fi plot line that at times can feel alienating. Though the overall “new human society” sci-fi idea is interesting and provoking, it can be hard not to feel as though the dialogue and concepts are trying a bit too hard. Many of the conversations felt as though they were intentionally trying to provoke reactions by discussing concepts such as the idea of whether mortality gives life its meaning and having the characters
