Our latest release, The Talos Principle 2: Road to Elysium, has received its first reviews, garnering high praise on all fronts. Here are a few highlights:
Cranking up the difficulty and empathy in equal doses, Road to Elysium threads a needle that most DLC expansions can only hope for. While a few of the challenges edge a bit into overly difficult territory, it’s an extraordinarily well-crafted and generous helping of brilliant puzzles and lovely emotional payoffs. One of the best puzzle games ever just got one of the best expansions around.

Road to Elysium more than makes up for some of the criticisms of ease in the base game, with enough puzzles that require you to know the game’s mechanics inside and out that it feels like a finals exam. However, even if difficulty isn’t all you’re looking for, there’s still some interesting philosophy discussed, alongside the genuine cute-factor in seeing your favourite characters from Talos Principle II go on a nice beach vacation. There are also some tantalising hints for where Croteam seem to be intent on taking a third game, although I suspect it might be a while before we find out what exactly the next leap will entail.

To say that Road to Elysium is more of the same as The Talos Principle 2 is high praise. We have more beautiful settings, more reflective dialogues of captivating characters and, above all, dozens more creative puzzles that are a great satisfaction to solve and prove the versatility of the original mechanics. Even without a big new mystery to uncover in the story, the quantity and quality of the new content make the DLC a sure recommendation for anyone who enjoyed the base game.

The Talos Principle 2 hit the ground running last year, and Road to Elysium shows it’s still got plenty of steam to keep trotting with. All three chapters come across as very well thought out, all with different experiences to offer.
