The premise ofThe Talos Principle 2is a springboard for a number of thought experiments.
Are they doomed to repeat the same mistakes?
As the game swings its weight between its various aspects, it’s difficult to know how to feel.
This tension between being both a ‘real’ story and a thought experiment complicates both.
If I respond to the trolley problem with ‘well, who tied them to the track?’
or questions about trolley engineering, I’ve fundamentally missed the point of the question.
If they could recreate this technology, this would remove the resource cost of building new robots.
Despite these tensions, The Talos Principle 2 is bold.
Careful positioning, and consideration of line of sight through windows and unlocked gates is key.
It’s doubly fun when it does, though.

It took me a while to decide how I felt about The Talos Principle 2.
