Portal 2 is one of those games that do not come around often, it creates a feeling that is reminiscent of when I was a younger and less jaded gamer. I think the word I am looking for is ‘magical’. The amount of effort put into this game is incredible as the detail and accuracy to the Portal universe are stunningly spot-on. Whether it’s the witty writing, voice acting or puzzle design, all of the elements to make a unique game are there and executed beautifully. GLaDOS and Wheatley as well as a third character, to be revealed later in the game, make the journey through Aperture Science’s labs entertaining and almost chilling at points as the story unfolds. Portal 2’s coop is equally well done and creates some of the best cooperative play we have seen in gaming to date. If you do not play Portal 2 you are making a giant mistake, so for science’s sake, don’t make that mistake.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Chris Brandrick, writing for overkill, speaks to Stefan Heinz, the lead developer on Portal: Revolution, a new fan-made campaign prequel to Portal 2.
valve suck so much at making games now, opting just to smaug on top of an enormous pile of money,
that fans got so desperate that they have to make their own games.
this industry is fucking over.
The modder Gistix is apparently brewing up a VR mod for Portal 2, as confirmed in a new YouTube video posted by the Flat2VR channel.
I mean, fine, but can we not have a VR version built from the ground up by Valve themselves?
Come on guys, it's time for a Portal 1 & 2 VR edition. And then announce Portal 3 release date!
Portal VR, geez if you thought you got sick playing RE7, get them buckets ready for this one
Great review! - I have loved every second of Portal 2. Valve has done an AMAZING job.
100%!
Just finished it an hour ago. Single player campaign is awesome! Still waiting to try the co-op though...*sigh*
