But while The Talos Principle was concerned with history and philosophy, Gehenna is a meditation on creativity and community. Much like its older sibling, the real heart of Road to Gehenna lies in the many terminals scattered across the game world. You'll occasionally run into puzzles that use these old ideas in new ways, but for the most part, you're just going to get a new set of expertly designed puzzles that are as good as anything the base game threw at you. You're not going to get any new tools or things to interact with. Don't go in expecting a ton of new ideas, though. The structure of The Talos Principle's puzzle rooms allows for a multitude of different configurations of light beams, refractors, switches, boxes, and recorders (which luckily are used sparingly here because any puzzle that used them tended to break your brain three times before you figured it out), so you'll still be spending days trying to think your way out of a seemingly-impossible mechanism.

What this says about free will, creativity, and interaction is exactly what The Road to Gehenna explores, at least when it isn't giving you more puzzle rooms to solve apropos of nothing.īut why wouldn't it? From the first bit of downloadable content for the excellent Talos Principle, you'd expect more of the same brain-busting puzzles that the first game excelled at providing, and Road to Gehenna doesn't disappoint. And you'll witness people building relationships on these works and discussions based on simple shared interest, admiration, or even scorn and hostility. But dig deeper, and you'll find artistic people who create fan art or even fan fiction of their favorite series. Skimming through the different threads won't tell you much initially other than the fact that everyone there has an interest in games. What is a community? At a glance, it's a group of people who interact and are connected to each other, but it's more than that.
