The Talos Principle 2 is inviting you to try before you buy courtesy of a new Steam Next Fest demo.
Described as a “standalone” demo, players can get an early “bespoke” taste of the sequel’s “bold new world” through a series of hand-picked puzzles spread across “stunning new locations, as well as a glimpse into the vast narrative that awaits them”.
As Matt recently summarised for us, the original Talos Principle served up an often fiendishly cerebral bout of puzzle-solving with lasers, time manipulation, and a healthy dose of philosophy. Essentially, each open-ended location featured a number of discrete puzzle “rooms” that required players to shift various contraptions – laser emitters, jammers, fans, blocks, and so on – to open gates, retrieve special Sigils, and progress through the game.
