Quick thoughts: Talos Principle 2 is a Evolution of the first game mirroring Portal to portal 2. An absolute must play for everyone imo Excellent puzzle design, wonderful story, and Somehow improved exploration and Easter eggs from the already master class of the first game. Adding new mechanics, expanding on some favorites from the first game as well as evolving the genre with some new things for less skilled players who find the genre frustrating.

I do recommend EVERYONE play the first game first however as this game will reveals everything about the first one. That said if you are a fan of first person puzzlers I would say this is a must play. As someone who has played almost all of them I can honestly say Portal 2 is no longer alone at the top. A must play steam game!

Quick thoughts: This game is a cute game with a story that I wish we saw more of. Unfortunately It is still very buggy with even some crashing or soft lock bugs encounterd by many. Further puzzle difficulty varies VERY widely beyond what I found enjoyable. Ultimetly if its DEEEP sale pick it up (maybe around 3-5 bucks) or if you are really hankering for a romantic story in your puzzle game, otherwise it might be best to leave this one alone.
