Valve’s sequel to one of the most interesting puzzle games made for gaming. With precise physics and lots of thinking Portal 2 has a lot to live up too. Portal was one of the most unique first person shooters when it came out, and people have been waiting patiently for a sequel and it has finally arrived. Valve has built a rich single player, coop, and a whole bunch of goodies that will keep you playing Portal 2 for a while. If you liked Portal you will fall in love with Portal 2 with its much longer single player campaign, and its other story for coop. Portal has the best physics-based puzzles in a video game, and the sequel raises the bar. GLaDOS is back and with a vengeance, wanting to put you through endless tests but something’s can’t stay the same and it changes the game. GLaDOS is funnier then ever, with jokes that will make you laugh and chuckle at some points because GLaDOS knows how to give humor to the players. It is hard to make a sequel to Portal because you have to be very creative and making it longer must have been difficult but Valve pulled it off perfect...
Jack writes: "Yet again browsing the latest offers in the Steam Spring Sale has led us to track down the very best. In terms of price to quality, we don’t think that it gets much better than this. Portal 2 is now less than a dollar, and if you haven’t got it already, now is the time to pick it up."
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.
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.
