One good thing does not beget another. Thinking with paint will never be a substitute for thinking with portals. Such is the case with Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative.
Set in the same world as the illustrious Portal 2, this mod became a puzzler unto itself. Yet the association to Portal is the only good thing about this game. With boring puzzles and uninteresting core mechanics, this game is an over-glorified mod worth skipping.
Recently released on Steam, Aperture Tag rests somewhere between a substantial mod, DLC, and a full game release. It uses Portal 2's assets and and setting, but takes one if its mechanics – the use of the blue and orange gel – to create a completely original experience forcing you to examine Portal puzzles in a whole new way. Instead of using the portal gun to make your way through Aperture's labs, players have a new paint gun letting them fire off the speed-boosting and bouncing gel nearly anywhere. The game is the brainchild of Eugenio Roman – a dedicated modder of Valve's games – who decided to step up his tinkering to create a full experience with Aperture Tag. We spoke with Roman about building the game, how involved Valve was with the project, and how the game came to life.Thinking Without Portals – How The Portal 2 Gel Mod Aperture Tag Came To Exist
