Portal 2 is hilarious, but its narrative doesn't hold up. Why? Because it took the fear away.
Today, Portal with RTX is being upgraded with DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, multiplying framerates, as well as the transformer model for Ray Reconstruction and DLAA, enabling even better image quality. Portal with RTX is also adding RTX Neural Radiance Cache (NRC), a neural shader that improves indirect lighting, as well as a bevy of performance optimizations.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
That's sweet, I've been thinking about building a modest pc to play some oldies
I was terrified Glados would ask to be my friend. Does that count?
Interesting post but I totally disagree. I thought Portal 2's narrative contortions were amazing to watch and hilarious. I never really think of the series as based heavily around fear, either. A bit of dread, yeah, but mostly hilarity.
I must me some kind of monster. I never felt Fear in portal. I woke up, a robot was talking to me, telling me. YO There's Science that way!
So I'm like, sure let's do this!
That's the magic of silent protagonist. You feel whatever you want to feel. I did the courses for the science. I guess other people felt force to do them. I actually enjoy solving this courses.
It's like a super-hero movie series: The first one has the hero's main nemesis, but someone has to take his place in the sequel or else he'll wear out his welcome.
I was actually kind of attracted to Glados. That was a damn sexy voice. Does that make me odd?
