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.
It’s the “living on Null street” problem of the future
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.

Is there anything else out there that can handle 10,000+ torrents? I seed a lot of ebooks 🤓
Amazing library of customizable ambient noises and soundscapes, pretty much all recorded and developed by one guy. I think “Rain on a Tent” is the best rain track available on the internet.
To this day RL is the only game I play with a claw grip for exactly this reason lol.
Emoji give us an extra avenue of encoding emotion into our text, something that is usually difficult. So I think everyone should be using them 🤓
