A more story and character focused entry, Talos Principle II succeeds in many facets of its design but ultimately fails in being a puzzle game. These are the worst puzzles of the Talos games and while new mechanics are constantly introduced, no properly fleshed out levels contain them. While I think there is a lot to like here such as the story, characters, graphics, setting and almost everything else, the game fails at being an engaging puzzle game. Despite this I enjoyed my time with this game very much, just not the puzzle aspects.
As far as The Talos Principle's puzzles go, this is the peak. The star world especially stands out as the best puzzles in the series. The story here is still compelling albeit not as conceptually interesting as the original or second game. The text based nature of it is interesting and well executed. Short, neat, challenging and fun.

Great game, story and characters are amazing, world is very pretty and mechanics are great. The gun-play for most guns was mediocre and difficulty felt strange. For reference played on hard and some fights were pretty easy and some were very, very hard due to three units being quite unbalanced. Overall great game and well worth it but a flawed masterpiece.
