Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The original TTP, on the other hand, still runs like a charm and while this version undoubtedly looks a lot better, thanks to crisper textures and features like ray-tracing, TTP has never been a game where I cared about looks, but about the puzzles.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Road to Gehenna takes place just after the events of the base game and, as such, the puzzles tended to be more challenging, but ties to the story in an interesting way.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The original Talos Principle still holds up very well to this day, both graphically and in gameplay.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Anyway, I absolutely didn't expect In the Beginning to be in the continuity of the Road to Gehenna difficulty, it was a great pleasure as I'm a big fan of very challenging puzzles.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack of The Talos Principle has always been incredible, and a new delightful alternative version of "Virgo Serena" (that menu music I love so much) graces our ears in the final temple hub.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Better menu and Photomode from Talos 2, more options, QoL updates to the gameplay, more dialogue/texts, the absolute incredible dev commentary you can activate while playing through the game again (my favorite part of this remaster).
