Kinda disappointed they’re not releasing on Switch, which I feel could easily handle the mechanics of this game. The textures must be super spicy

How exciting! I grabbed the the first game knowing nothing about it during a major sale years ago and it re-ignited a love for puzzle games I hadn’t experienced since the original Portal. Definitely picking this up!

Same! The first one was one of those games where the story was kind of a nonsense excuse for interesting puzzles until it wasn’t and I totally got sucked in and started reading all the files and documents I could.

Really excited for this!

Check out Relicta. Played this in gamepass last year and ended up loving it.

Looks like it might have been Games with Gold (not Gamepass). I couldn’t find it on GP but it was GwG last year.

Oops, yes it was games with gold. Still worth buying if you like 3d puzzle games Ala talos principal and portal.

Yes, can’t wait to play this!

Anyone hear anything about Steam Deck compatibility/performance?

They’ve had a good native linux build for the first one, and it was one of the first games in my library to have vulkan support. I’d be surprised if it didn’t have really good linux support

Hey, how did the Vulkan compat go for you?
The game used to run beautifully for me, then when the Vulkan update dropped it became a stuttery slow mess. Haven’t tried it again in a while…

I haven’t tried it since it was a separate version, but I didn’t notice any issues at all

Serious Sam 4 doesn’t perform too well on the deck, though.

I’m so, so, SO, excited for this. The first Talos Principle is my favourite puzzle game ever. The puzzles were intricate but always fair, the story was surprisingly deep for a puzzle game, and the locations and soundtrack were beautiful and relaxing. I recommend it to everyone who has even the slightest interest in puzzle games.

If the sequel delivers an experience that’s on par with the previous entry, we’re in for a treat.

I wonder what the story will be, though. The first one had a very satisfying ending, and I hope the sequel will build upon it in interesting ways.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !the_talos_principle@lemm.ee
