The Talos Principle 2 is a puzzle-adventure video game developed by Croteam and published by Devolver Digital. A sequel to The Talos Principle (2014) the game was released for Windows PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S in November 2023 to generally positive reviews. Similar to its predecessor The Talos Principle 2 is a first-person puzzle game; the core mechanic for the player is to be able to press a button at the end of an enclosed puzzle which is separated from the entrance of the puzzle by various mechanics the player must utilize to gain access. To complete the main story the player must complete 8 different puzzles in each of the 12 main areas. When eight puzzles in an area are complete the player can then complete a tetromino puzzle to build a bridge in order to reach a large structure in the middle of the area. While there is no map for each area the game HUD features a compass that features most relevant locations. Players can also find "sparks" hidden around an area: Utilizing a spark allows players to clear one puzzle without solving it.
