While I haven't completed The Talos Principle, I have played it and I do think it's a very well presented puzzle game. It seems it has been a hit, so The Talos Principle 2 has now been confirmed.
Confirmation comes from twitter at a talk Croteam just did (this was retweeted by Croteam themselves):

Details are obviously extremely light right now, but it's pretty fun news for the many fans of Talos.
Since Talos now uses Vulkan, it's likely they will support Vulkan with Talos 2 now that their game engine supports it. That's one reason I am excited to see more of it.

Great news, haven't finished the 1st one either but it's one of my all time favourite games ever.
And if they get a great running Vulkan version right from the start it will be Christmas and Easter on the same day.

I finished the first, and was quite enamoured with the experience ^^ I do worry, as I do with all sequels, how they'll improve upon the predecessor, but I guess we'll see :B

Nice, I've allmost finished the first one (and haven't touched it since then, the game is really captivating)
Hopefully the next one will be as good as the first.

By the way, is there any news about Serious Sam First/Second Encounter HD Linux ports? Not that I don't like Talos, but I want my Serious Sam fix :D

I played the Talos Principle demo, and it was like a really boring version of Portal.

The Talos Principle in the end isn't really like Portal at all, even if it seems that way at first.

I really hope it doesn't end up being 'more of the same' -- considering that the chief weakness of the first game was that the latter half of the puzzles felt exactly like that.

Awesome news! The Talos Principle is my favourite game of all time, not so much because of the puzzles, but because of the philosophy and the atmosphere. The first time I played it was an incredible experience.
This is the only time where I'd actually consider preordering a game.

The story and dialogue could be polarizing, but I found it interesting enough. Some of the conversation choices seemed a bit forced, but it didn't really bother me much.
The puzzles, though, stand proudly as some of the best...

AWW YISS!
The Talos Principle is one of my favorite puzzle games, or any type of game, for that matter, in recent memory. I will buy Talos 2 day 1. Croteam deserve it.

Any word on Linux support? It's probably fair to assume it will support Linux since their engine supports it well already, but a confirmation would be nice.

I think I played at least 2/3 of the way through. I kept yoyoing between gallium on wine and native opengl as the hitching on initial level load was driving me kookoo. Otherwise a very enjoyable first person puzzle game. Not in the same league or same way as Portal. But looking forward to Talos 2 especially now they have Vulkan support.

I agree. Even the normal puzzles of Talos Principle are way more clever than those of Portal, and for the really crazy people, there are the stars...

Some of those stars were brutal. I had to resort to the walkthroughs at points just because some of them were just too obscure, like that one with the sphinx

I gave up early on them. There were many that I never have seen in the first place, let alone reached.
I gave them another try in Road to Gehenna, but failed as well. I gave up after I nearly got the one in the valley...
But for some of those that I did get, the puzzles were really clever.
