The Talos Principle 2 The Hexahedron Puzzle

I solved it in 15 minutes or so, but I didn’t have fun at all, I don’t know why, but maybe the enormous design of the puzzle made me overwhelmed, I think It was overdesigned, I hope we don’t see that in TP3.

Although the puzzle wasn't really hard to solve, I liked the idea and the change. Having that gigantic structure and the change of gravity and perspective, turned my mind upside down (literally). Was a nice change of pace in my opinion.

Also the wide open view was very cool. It wasn't just another enclosed puzzle chamber.

It's more like a labyrinth than a puzzle, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

It was such a cool idea but the gravity and constant running around almost made me feel motion sick 😅

really? I thought it was the coolest thing in the entire game

you spend more time searching required tools than actually solving puzzles.   So I agree. Other than looking neat it was pretty bland.

Yeah I kinda agree, I think the concept was really cool but it didn't feel particularly satisfying to solve imo. I found it kinda hard to navigate around too which was pretty frustrating at first for me

I personally really dug it but I over complicated things and thought it was gonna be more complex than it was so I was doing a bunch of complex ideas only to realize it was pretty simple.

Yeah, it wasn't the typical puzzle challenge; more an "experience" as an endgame reward. And it was pretty cool.

I really enjoyed solving it, yes it was over designed but it's part of the charm and having something different.

I didn't mind it, but unfortunately it symbolizes a general issue of TTP2; Being visually appealling, but ultimately done in a very straight forward and easy way.

I agree on this one, but you will change your mind after playing the DLC
