    Started playing the Talos Principle. Took a bit of tinkering to get it to work properly but now I’m loving it. Awesome puzzle game, highly recommended.

      I think the best thing about the sequel is they took out all the puzzles that involve killing you with turrets and mines.

        Oh good to know. I’ll probably really like it then. I’m loving my time in the first one so far, but the mines and turrets are very annoying.

          Yeah, I think there was a demo, and it wasn’t nearly as instant death based as the full game.

          The sequel gets a lot of cut scenes and other characters that I wasn’t sure about, but once you’re through that initial bit of exposition, it opens up a bit and lets you just get on with the puzzles. There’s a demo of it, which I recommend if you’re on a potato PC, because my 1060 really struggled. PS5 version was fine though.

          I found it a bit easier than the first game, but the DLC certainly ramps it up again.

            Good to know. I’m using a laptop at the moment running a 3060 mobile. I get around 350-400 fps playing the first game. Most modern games run at a relatively stable 60fps on high settings or around 30-40 fps on ultra settings. When running around the open world in CP2077 I get 45-60 fps depending on the environment. I can’t remember if it’s at high or ultra. I think I’ll probably be able to handle TP2, but then again who knows. Looking on ProtonDB some people mention low fps even with decent hardware so I guess we’ll see when I inevitably purchase the game.
