The Talos Principle II is the direct continuation of the first chapters as it pick ups both the narrative and the puzzles initiated. But very quickly something feels a bit more shallow and contrived than the mysteries and grand schemes present in the first one and that's the probably with going from tackling biggest overarching themes of not just humanity but the cosmos, to a more profane, speculative philosophy using some arbitrary mythical entities to tell a story of that is not even has not a fraction of the scale of the first one.

And very quickly the rest of the game feels as shallow, from the occasional, slow exchanges with other bots that don't seen to construct any particular stories to the unsatisfying bits of linear story spread in sections as you complete the game when the first one was much more organically constructed, to the way the world is designed in an almost seemingly generative way without the chaos, variation and easter eggs of the first one.

Overall this is still a welcomed sequel of the game, with expanded puzzle mechanic and overall progression remaining interesting the challenge, but the incentive to progress forward in terms of narrative fall short both through the mechanics and the story itself.
