Rarely does a game that asks philosophical questions give the player an answer. Usually you're supposed to determine that for yourself, but Talos 2 has a lot to say, more than its previous installment by a country mile. It's an incredibly smart game that I think will legitimately bring a lot of optimism for the future of humanity to the 6 or 7 people that play it. I certainly feel a whole lot more optimistic after finishing it, which I'm very happy to feel these days.
The gameplay is exactly what you'd expect of a talos sequel with the only noticeable change outside of new mechanics being that star puzzles are actually reasonable this time. It's also exactly what you'd expect out of a talos sequel in that it completely doesn't matter. You're here for the story, and it's great. It's actually got a fair bit of RPG blood in it this time, with lots of characters to talk to and different routes to take. A very satisfying game, highly recommend.
