The Talos Principle 2 has many similarities to its predecessor, with the runtime once again being split between both mind-bending puzzles and mind-bending philosophy. Another similarity is that the game continuously and unapologetically ramps up the difficulty more and more as players progress. This is evident even as early as Grasslands Ring, as the game immediately introduces a new puzzle mechanic to the series - RGB conversion - and then continues to throw more layers on the puzzle mechanic in each level.
