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!

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

Looks like an awesome rec, added to the wishlist!

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

Same! The first one was one of those games where the story was kind of 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!

Wow, did not expect it. I am torn now. The original felt self-contained, compete, the story ended properly. Can they really continue the story in a compelling way? Or are they making an alternative story unrelated to the original? I loved the OG so much, I hope they won’t screw it up.

I mean, the story was shockingly interesting.
But mostly it was about the puzzles and how Croteam (???) figured out how to couple every single mechanic in such incredibly interesting ways. There weren’t hidden mechanics you had to learn. It was all about learning a new trick to solve a puzzle and then realizing you could have done that two hours ago… and then finding a secret.
And if they think they have enough new mechanics/ideas? I am all for it.

I agree, but I would say the story was central to gluing everything together. I don’t know if I would have been as invested as I was if it was a worse story and just great puzzles. So now I wonder what they are going to do story-wise. Still, I’m more excited about this than another Serious Sam =) btw, the most hidden mechanic I learned was that you can use a 3rd person view, which I preferred much more than 1st person

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.

I just created a Lemmy community so we fans can discuss the game - come join us:

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

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…wasabi@feddit.de 1 year ago
Serious Sam 4 doesn’t perform too well on the deck, though.

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

Oh man, this game is gonna be a blast! I had so much fun with the first one!
ArmoredCavalry@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m honestly more excited about this than a Portal 3 announcement! :) Loved both the puzzles and the story / vibe of the first one!
Decoy321@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wait wait wait, there’s actionable news about Portal 3? I figured that was as likely as getting Half Life 3.
