I played the demo of The Talos Principle 2 yesterday. The first puzzles were basically a tutorial for people who hadn't played the first game, but after that they showed some new mechanics (RGB shifter, driller, teleporter) which look interesting. So I bought the full game and will be playing it tonight.
I also managed to get into one puzzle that wasn't supposed to be accessible in the demo by jumping across a fence, but as soon as I picked up an object there, it respawned me at the latest continue point; it looks like they guarded the demo against that.
