The Talos Principle 2 is 20-30 Hours Long, Has Over 100 Puzzles

The follow-up to Croteam's critically acclaimed puzzle title also features a Decryption Key for skipping puzzles and returning later.

Croteam’s long-awaited follow-up to The Talos Principle is finally releasing after years of development. Set years into the future and once again starring robots, The Talos Principle 2 has you solving puzzles to discover the truth about a strange megastructure. In a new trailer, publisher Devolver Digital breaks down everything you should know about the game.


While we know about the 12 new regions, players can expect more than 100 puzzles. The experience takes about 20 to 30 hours to complete, but it’s unknown if this includes any potential side content and secrets. If you’re in it for the story, then good news – there’s a Decryption Key for skipping the tougher puzzles and returning to them later.

Sounds good to me. Probably day 1 if the console version runs well.

Wish this was in VR.
Gonna get this on PC, to go along side the first game.

Day one

 

[unclbenn]

Loved the first one. Didn't think croteam was capable of these hardcore puzzles games.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Superb first game
Very excited for the sequel

 

[killatopak]

I can't even solve my life problems and you expect me to solve 100?

Talos 1 had around 120 puzzles. Seems they went quality over quantity for the sequel. So hyped!

I'm probably going to wait until the vr version of this drops. Thoroughly enjoyed the first one in VR.

i yet to complete the first one, im stuck LOL

Getting the stars in 1st game was amazing. I loved how you had to "break the game" in a way that seemed like it wasn't intentional by the devs to get many of them.

 

[stevish]

I never completed the first game but really enjoyed it.... maybe I should give it another crack.

 

[StueyDuck]

Speaking my language. Loved the first one. Perfect amount of world building vs puzzle solving

 

[Zuzu]

I bought the first game on the Switch and it just feels a bit rubbish to play on there. I might buy it again on the Series X.

I don't see how you can realistically measure the duration of a puzzle game, when one person can stay stucked on a puzzle for day while another solve it in ten minutes

Averages during playtests but yes your mileage might vary.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Haven't even played the first one yet. The cover never really grabbed my interest enough to try it.

 

[nowhat]

As long as this is even half as good as the first one I'm in. Some of the puzzles (especially the optional ones) were really devious, and I'm pretty sure I got through a few by just sheer luck/glitching the game, but hey, if it works...

players can expect more than 100 puzzles

This is why mathematicians invented statistics.

 

[Freeman76]

The first one boggled my brain and made me feel thick as fuck. There was one puzzle which was definitely impossible and I stopped playing at that point

 

[cireza]

This is going to be a definitive day-one for me. Loved the first game.

Looking forward to finding out the secrets hidden into secrets hidden into secrets the developers will have prepared for us.

 

[Bergoglio]

Is there a puzzle tracking system in the first one? If so, how did it work?

 

[The Cockatrice]

First one is the best puzzle game ever. Based on the demo, this will be better.

 

[Null Persp]

First one was amazing.

 

[Portugeezer]

First game was always on my radar, but this one looks too notch.

 

[haxan7]

Day 1 for me

 

[Wildebeest]

I really didn't like the amount of talking and cutscenes in the demo. I'd prefer a special "decryption" key to skip all of that and just do the puzzles.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

IGN has uploaded new gameplay that was not in the demo.

 

[Mitsurugi Reiji]

The only thing I am worried about is the stutters everyone experienced in demo.
