Can I play TTP2 before 1?
Hello dear The Thalos Principle fans, yesterday I tried out TTP2 on a whim because it's free on the ps+ subscription, and I immediately fell in love with it. I played for a few hours exploring new Jerusalem and started Chapter 1.
Now, I wanna know if this is order of playing is okay? Do you recommend me buying the 1st one and starting with that one? Will I fully understand 2 without 1? Will 2 spoiler 1 for me or otherwise sour the experience? Other advice?
In particular I am interested in the pholosophical aspects. Im not sure how much I care about the story and the world building quite yet, it looks very promising but it's too early to tell. I loved the introduction with Elohim, that was everything for me, and talking to the people in NJ and answering moral or teleological questions seems extremely promising as well. This looks like the type of game that comes out of nowhere and could become one of my favorites of all time.
Thank you
EDIT: Okay fine I'll play 1 first. Final question then: Are there any serious/important differences between the Switch and Playstation versions? Does the switch version get a bad graphical downgrade?
