Portal 2 (2011)

The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game.

Would have given it a 5/5 if it weren't for Wheatley. I really hate these kinds of "being annoying is funny" characters.

It's a good game and I liked it better than Portal 1. It's fun and nice to puzzle and the ending is really cool. That said, it just doesn't grab me in the same way that other video games do.

I liked the first more, both in story and gameplay.

Haven't finished it but it's still great. Merchant and Simmons outdo themselves in this game

I could not get into it after finishing and loving the first opus.

Not all the puzzles work or humor lands, but this still another great game made by a great studio. When the humor does work it showcases some great voice talent and a handful of very interesting characters.

They took Portal and made you do it three times instead of one time while JK Simmons says hyperbolic things aggressively because humor is humorous.

Not as good as the first game, but what do you want? It's more Portal.

Can't say that it's in any way worse than its predecessor, but it totally failed to leave an impression on me. Maybe I had sequel fatigue.

The first Portal, though fascinating, never really grabbed me. Somehow this game did. The single player is hilarious and chockful of addicting puzzles. And then the co-op levels! It's a testament to your relationship with whomever you play this with if the both of you are still on speaking terms afterwards.

The sequel adds an unnecessary painting mechanic and puts the later puzzles in huge outdoor areas where you often have to hunt for a spot to land a portal. Things are complicated in an unsatisfying manner. The voiceover humor becomes tiresome. I'll take the original Portal over this any day.

I only rate it lower than the original because, like most game sequels, it loses something in the expanded game-play elements. But it's longer, which is good, and it has the voice of J.K. Simmons, which is brilliant.

Single player and co-op are equally well designed and fun. And it has JK Simmons voice over that is perfection.

CosmicMonkey | 90 90th |
The sequel traded in the original's black humour for more of an absurdist edge, that while still funny, never quite reached the brilliance of the first. That being said, everything else about this improved upon the original in every way, fleshing out the story, world, characters, game-play and adding in the ingenious co-op mode.

Great example of how to develop a small concept without overdoing it. Merchant is great, the story is hilarious, and the puzzles are smart.

i liked the puzzles, i liked the comedy, but my god those linear pixel-hunting passages were a slog.

I appreciate games that have the decency to just do their thing and quit before it gets dull, but in this case I do slightly prefer this sequel because it feels more fully developed and realized to me than the original Portal, which is almost TOO brief with its concept. I have to give it a bit of a bonus for the good co-op puzzles, too.
