Talos Principle 2 is just… wow. It’s been years since I played the first game and it’s remarkable how fast the sequel was able to get me back in the space of “I’m here to solve puzzles and argue philosophy…”. Everything I loved about Talos Principle has been polished or expanded, and the way the writers somehow managed to get me to accept that we need to solve a bunch of puzzles to advance the plot - AGAIN - is impressive.

I’m so happy the game is this good.

Are the puzzles equally as difficult?

I loved that game but I fully admit I am abysmal at puzzles 😭 😂

I think the puzzles have been clever but not devilish so far, but I’m only maybe 10-15% through them. In the first game the truly hard / mind bending stuff was realizing you needed to solve some harder puzzles by “breaking” the puzzles and getting items out of them and such. So far that dimension hasn’t shown up as much, but it’s early and knowing these developers they have some proper challenges in the game for people who want them.

Tried Alan Wake 2 and it was extremely disappointing. If you are a Resident Evil 4 Fan or a Control Fan, or even AW1 fan - this game isn't for you. Not to mention buggy as shit.

Now I'm playing The Banner Saga 1, and hoping any of the RE remakes go on sale soon. I can't get over how hyped I was and now need a proper TPS to get back in the groove.

I've been playing Timberborn quite a bit the last few weeks. It's a pretty good strategy game but is still in early access. Actually now that I think about it, this is the first early access game I've ever gotten.
