Nothing is wasted, and nothing is unnecessary. Portal 1 is basically video game perfection, literally nothing about it should be changed. I always liked the Zero Punctuation reviews on the two games, and felt it illustrated why I prefer 1 as well. I haven't played it yet, if you don't have anyone to play it with then maybe we could group up :) It seemed like there is quite some more lore if you dig deeper.Īnd as someone else wrote, there is still the COOP mode of Portal 2 to be played which needs 3-5 hours according to a quick google search. I also read a wiki article about 'Rattman' which was quite interesting. So maybe take a look at your achievements and since you liked the puzzles more than I did, it may be worthwhile to get them on your own. I missed about a dozen singleplayer achievements and looked up their solution on Youtube today. I also really liked Cave Johnson, he added a lot (of humor) to the destroyed facility and its mysterious atmosphere in the beginning. The final hour of the game was just perfect! Wheatly was hilarious throughout the whole game and similar to you I cracked up a lot :D The combination with Glados in her new potato role worked perfectly and made the game more enjoyable for me than part 1. What kept me coming back was the dialogue though. But objectively speaking, I think the puzzles were really well designed. I actually finished Portal 2 last night :D More than a year after I started it though.I'm not into puzzle games in general and thus never played it longer than 30-60 minutes before I lost interest and didn't touch it for a few weeks/months. Is it worth it to go back through a second time? Are there things you can miss? And is there more info about the lore? Because I found some of the things you learn in Portal 2 pretty interesting, but it felt like there might be more going on than was explained. If you managed to read even some of this, I'd love to know your thoughts on these games! I'm also curious to know about these games replayability. The songs were also top notch and will definitely be added to my spotify playlist.Īnyway, I just had to get my thoughts out there somewhere, and I knew some of you guys might appreciate it. ![]() The atmosphere being slightly creepy was also really well executed, especially in the first game when you start finding things in the walls. The writing was also amazing! I loved the characters, and found myself cracking up at almost every robotic line delivered, especially when they were mocking me. I felt like a superhero, and it was probably my favorite part of the gameplay. But, I suppose to clarify, after getting used to the mind-boggling perspective shifts, it was ridiculously fun to figure out how to fly through the air, picking up speed with each portal you went through, and crashing into your destination. The portals were 100% the highlight of the gameplay, obviously. That didn't stop me from enjoying the game or the puzzles though. Each new tool given felt fun to use, although I did start to feel like they were getting a little gimmicky by the end of the second game. Either way, the puzzles in both games were extremely satisfying, especially after the ones that had me yelling at Glados in frustration. I enjoy puzzles, however I wouldn't say that I'm great at them. Now, on to me gushing about how much I loved Portal. Yet, I somehow didn't get around to playing it until a few weeks ago when I was desperately bored and saw that the bundle for both Portal games was on sale, so I bought it. ![]() ![]() I had even watched some snippets of a let's play years ago and thought the whole idea was fascinating. I had heard of Portal before, and I understood the basic concept. I should preface with what I knew going into these games. Before I even start my rambling, I just have to say, if you haven't played Portal yet, go do it. I now understand why Portal is so popular and how it has managed to gain recognition even outside of the hard-core "gamer" community.
