Oct 21, 2013The perfect sequel to the original Portal game. Interactions with Wheatley and Glados really brings in an appropriate atmosphere. Surprisingly, the game is still running on Valve's Source engine however the graphics are much improved and efficient. Going through the developer's commentary, you'll realize a lot of though has been put into this game. Valve please count to 3.

Oct 22, 2013This game is amazing! It took everything that the original portal did right and improved greatly upon it.
The gameplay is better, the characters are more funny, adn the story is amazing!!! -
Nov 19, 2013This game is a true work of art. The funny and mischievous characters, the awesome gameplay mechanics, and clever storyline add up to the best game ever made for PC to date.

Feb 21, 2022Portal 2 es lo que cualquier secuela debería ser con respecto a su predecesor.
-
Oct 29, 2013An absolutely brilliant game with a superb story and puzzles that will keep you on it for hours. I completed it on 2 sittings after buying it recently on steam. I have to say it is one of the greatest games that you will play. Well done Valve
-
Oct 31, 201311/10. They took a 10/10 game (Portal) and made it better.
The co-op missions are awesome and would make it worth buying the game even if they didn't improve the single player mode. -
Nov 5, 2013This was a great sequel to an already amazing game. The problem I had with this game was the lack of replay value. Within 2 days I had already beat the single player, co-op, and had over 90% of the achievements.
-
Nov 8, 2013Portal 2 is a true masterpiece.The Science-Fiction atmosphere and the logical puzzles are two ingredients that makes the game greater than everything...absolutely awesome.I honestly can say that Portal 2 is the best Valve game.I really like it and I recommend it

Jan 25, 2014This game is great! It has humor, a good storyline, co-op multiplayer, and most importantly excellent puzzles!! And these are all hard things to put in a puzzle game already, nonetheless doing it well (except for puzzles, duh). This is by far the best game I've ever played (except maybe Minecraft...)
-
Sep 8, 2015Everybody knows its amazing, everybody knows it's hilarious, everybody knows the co-op if WORTHLESS... with random online players, at least. This review shouldn't even exist... but it DOES, so deal with it!
-
Nov 17, 2013If you love creative games, you must play portal. I love Valve so much. It is an amazing sequel. Score rating Half Life 2 (10) Portal 2 (10) Left 4 Dead 2 (9) Team Fortress 2 (8).

Nov 26, 2013The Only Reason that I gave this game 9 out of 10 is because it sets the bar too high for other games ...
Graphics Are good soundtracks are awesome and there is that feeling in the game the feeling that you are alone!
Hope they make more games like this -

Nov 19, 2015Great puzzle game with a first person view, consisting a lot of very well-designed puzzles forming a long campaign. We also receive additional campaign content in co-op, providing several hours of extra fun. The game has massive maps made by people in the Steam Workshop.
Score: 9/10 - I would definitely recommend! -
Dec 11, 2013Had a great time playing this. Multiplayer was flawless and the Steam workshop provides a seemingly endless supply awesome new puzzles. The editor is intuitive and makes building your own chambers simple and straight forward. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys games that require a bit of thinking.
-
Dec 11, 2013This is probably my all-time favorite game. Interesting story and fun to play. I often got stuck in the same level for quite a while, which got a little annoying.
If you're going to play this game, play Portal 1 first. It will make the experience much more interesting and enjoyable. -
Oct 1, 2021По сравнению с первой частью во второй лючше графика, интересней головоломки и великолепный сюжет с интересными персонажами! Пару раз под столом валялся от смеха из-за выходок местных персонажей ))))!!!! Реокендую всем!
-
May 4, 2014One of the best game I ever played. Incredible graphics and full of action. I was amazed when I saw the improvements of the source engine. It's way better than the first Portal. I really had fun when I played in the chapters with those gel things. I can't wait for Portal 3!

Jan 22, 2014Portal 2:
+Best Storyline+
+Best Characters+ (Wheatley is Badass!)
+Best Level Design+
+Best Voice Acting+
+Best Soundtracks+
Portal 2 Is the Best puzzle game! -
Jan 17, 2014Perhaps the best puzzler of all time, Portal 2 is a must-play. This game is challenging, has an enthralling story, and shows aspects of humor that just add that little bit of extra greatness. Portal 2 deserves the spot of Game of the Year 2011, as many believe.
-
Jan 21, 2014Incredible! One of the most perfect games ever! I've played it 4 times and I just have to say that the history is awesome and Valve knows how to make a good game. 10/10
-
Nov 4, 2015Portal 2 is the sequel to the great puzzle game, that improves on portal in many different ways and is as fun and unique as the original was, and should be played and experienced by all.
-
Jan 30, 2014A superb game. Comedy levels are high and game play is as compelling as it is addictive. Even the irritating voice of Stephen Merchant is loveable and well written here and without him the game would of lost a step. Superb from start to finish!
-
Feb 14, 2014To be put simply: This is one of the greatest puzzle games i have ever played, the mechanics are beautiful and the story is told perfectly. Huge improvement over the 1st.
-
Feb 21, 2014Had a blast playing Portal 2. I would have scored it a 9-10 if I felt the urge to replay the game. Extremely fun on the first time through the campaign though. I had the exact same experience as in Portal 1. Great game, but my top notch scores are reserved for those games that keep me coming back for more.
-
Feb 26, 2014Very fun and engaging....right up until you fall into the "wasteland basement". Not spoiling anything, but the game goes on to long which is an unusual complaint from me. I was enthralled and engaged, then I was ... kinda bored? Still a great game and worthy of the PORTAL name.
-
Mar 7, 2014Simply amazing! Keeps you on edge to an extreme extend. Defiantly a game worth getting, hard, challenging, but not to the point where you begin to bash your keyboard. Overall a very smart well done game.
-
Jan 15, 2016This game is best game ever made, if you give this to monkey, it would make it smart as low intelligent humans.
I love it, everyone can make new content, which provides infinite levels to play.
Where is portal 3 ? -
Jun 14, 2022Look at the staggering amount of creativity that could be fit in this one package called Portal 2.
-
Jun 11, 2014This game is a masterpiece. I enjoyed every single bit of it. Every. Single. Bit. The graphics are neat, the environments are one of the greatest I've seen, and the story is admirable. After all these years, Valve still knows how to bring pure joy in digital form. Buy this game, especially the PC version, if possible.
-
Jul 7, 2016A very fun game, with some great performance by Wheatley, but the story was a tremendous disappointment. Nothing is ever explained. Why did Carolyn turn evil? What caused the apocalypse? Why was Chell in stasis?
-
Mar 25, 2016An absolute amazing game! Who knew combining puzzle solving, first person shooting, and humor could result in a great game. The game is full of lovable characters, mind boggling stages, and laughable crude dialogue. The game play experience is even better with a buddy in co-op mode. An absolute must play for everyone! Now if only Valve can come out with the 3rd portal game.
-
Nov 10, 2019In 35+ years of gaming since the original Atari, it's rare I can rate a game a 10, this is one of them. Beware, it's puzzle oriented so this is not for everyone. I suggest playing the first one before the 2nd though.

May 25, 2017It's all been said already, but I wanted to add one thing: this game is aging very well. Great story, wonderful acting, and brilliant puzzle design mean you don't much care about the graphics -- but even if you did, the style is so well suited to the environments in the game. Masterpiece.
-
Jun 15, 2015Without a shadow of doubt a masterpiece. Incredible in everything it does. Masterful writing, unparalleled voice acting, every single character is incredibly memorable, the entire massive complex of Aperture is built and revealed perfectly, and the all-important portal based puzzle gameplay is flawless. This is Valve's magnum opus - a perfect game in every way.

Feb 21, 2015If you dont like this game then go eat a potato. Thisqs game is awesome. Beterer than half-awful-game-not-life-2 this game i like. I always watch a walkthrough i enjoy everything in this portal. Even better than poratal origunal. Go buy this game it awesome. My krabord is notbroken jhst i typereally fast so tgere are many mistakes!
-
Feb 21, 2015This game is just another complete rip-off of angry birds. The game itself is exactly the same except the graphics quality is much lower and the gameplay is significantly less user friendly.
-
Mar 3, 2015This is the greatest game of all time.With great story and amazing voice acting this game is valves best,
It brings so much to the story of portal and half life. -
Mar 7, 2015Awesome game. Probably best game I ever played. Co-op mode, Epic story, Cool puzzles, New features make this game really nice. Game is super mysterious, and have a lot of bigger, and smaller Easter eggs.
I don't know what to say. I'm waiting for Portal 3 -
Mar 15, 2015This game is not only the best Valve game, it is the best game on Steam as of 3-15-2015. Great voice acting, characters, graphics, game-play and story. Portal 2 has it all.

Sep 4, 2017Complete masterpiece!
expands first Portal clever and unique mechanics, and manage to get them more complex and twisted
It is also longer (Portal 1 main complaint) and narrative is amazing -
Jul 11, 2015One of my favourite games. I love this game. Where do I begin? The story is somehow amazing. The puzzles are brilliant. I loved the voice acting, at least in Spanish is somehow good. One of the best games out now. And if you complete the game there are a bunch of great mods out in the workshop or even in the Steam market. Best puzzle game of the decade.
-
Mar 7, 2016If you haven't already played Portal, you really should jump in. If you have played Portal 1 and think this will be just more of the same, think again. Portal 2 is one of the best PC games I have ever had the pleasure to play. Innovative, funny, challenging, exciting - a true masterpiece of game design.
-
Jun 12, 2015This is a FPS puzzle game that's intuitive and engaging. It expands upon the story of Portal, and if you haven't played that, you won't miss anything. The cake may be a lie, but this game delivers exactly what you would expect, and more!
-
Oct 4, 2015I don't know why but the game crashes too much, but I don't care, because it's fantastic. It's a puzzle game, and I didn't expect much, but after playing for a couple of minutes I knew it will be of the most brilliant game ever. Valve again of course. The puzzles are great, the graphics, physics, everything is amazing. After finished I only want Portal 3
-
Jun 18, 2015When someone says puzzle game, I guarantee this masterpiece is everyone's first thought. Not a single thing to dislike. Story is full and never feels lacking. Co-op adds hours of replayability. Fantastic.
-
Jun 24, 2015Not very much to say.Oh,just one thing.I think this is one of the best,maybe even the best game in the history. Captivating story and characters,also the puzzles are really well made.
-
Jul 21, 2015Best puzzle game co-op is awesome , bugs can be really annoying this kind games but in portal i not see any bug. Graphics are good gameplay wiothout problem

Nov 16, 2015the original had better puzzles in my opinion, this sequel manage to expand the gameplay with slightly different game mechanics, but still i want to replay the first one more than the second one.

Nov 24, 2015This game is simply amazing, it has a awesome story, nice puzzles, coop levels (spiltscreen and online), workshop maps and the song from the credits S2. I love this game.

Dec 29, 2015Very good game! Sometimes hard, but that's not very bad. When you complete the game, you can play co-op too, amazing!
I say...
Story: good
Graphics: very good -
Jan 3, 2016This and portal are in my top 20 favorite games ever. I like platform and puzzles. This is both and it has co-op. .
-
Oct 23, 2019It's been said in a million ways how amazing this game is, all I really want to tell you is that this game has not dated one bit. It's still as golden as it was on first release. Please, if you haven't given it a chance yet - or if you wish to relive the mind-bending experience don't hesitate.

Mar 13, 2016It's fun, challenging and mind-bending. There's not allot of games I'd put above this one, it's a flawless masterpiece. It's got a great story, fun co-op, satisfying puzzles, and memorable characters.
-
Jun 25, 2016This game is amazing (best game from Valve, even better than Half Life 2), graphics in this game is good and I think this game one of the best game of 2011, but The Elder Scrolls Skyrim, Batman Arkham City and Sonic Generations are better . Portal 2 is very atmospheric game . Amazing Game, Masterpiece .
-
Mar 24, 2016If I had to summarize Portal 2 in one word, it would be intelligent. From its creative level design, expanding massively on the first Portal, as well as challenging but rewarding puzzles, Portal 2 is an absolute blast to play from start to finish.
Some of the most hilarious voice acting I've ever heard just adds to a heart-felt and just outright brilliant game. -
Jan 2, 2018El lore de Portal se ve super amplificado en la segunda entrega, que si la primera ya era buenísima esta no se ni como catalogarla, sin palabras acerca de este hermoso juego.
-
May 28, 2016Valve is the king of sequels. Portal 2 takes everything that made Portal great, and somehow manages to improve it with even more great Portal storytelling, hilarious voice-acting, FPS puzzle gameplay, and amazing visuals. Highly recommended.

Dec 18, 2016I love Portal 2 with one simple thing the game forces you to think of this is so great is not an easy puzzle sometimes you have to think very long time to solve the puzzle for such simple mechanics which is based on one tool is great
-
Dec 30, 2016Exciting puzzles, a psychotic AI, and a dark, twisted story that holds many secrets are three elements that valve exceeded in. It's simply a masterpiece as it both extends and improves on Portal 1 by adding more life and humour to the game, which all in all give the player a blast of a time. Worth every cent.
-
Jun 10, 2022Последняя одиночная игра от Valve. Очень интересная игра, хоть и трудная и местами скучноватая, но ничего подобного в игровой индустрии нет, может и продолжение когда-нибудь выйдет.

Jul 11, 2020As good as the first one.
Top quality puzzle game.
The game is worth every penny, buy it. -
Apr 10, 2017This is how you make a sequel. While the original was amazing, this game blows it out of the water in almost any category. The story is better, the characters are better, the comedy is better, the puzzles are better, the graphics are better (they look really good seeing as this was still made using the source engine). You owe it to yourself to play this.

May 8, 2017Portal 2 almost managed to surpass the brilliant prequel Portal. The gameplay, puzzles, shock value, dialogues, humor, basically everything that made Portal so awesome is still here. Add the incrased playing time and a much more complex plot to the mix, and you get another instant classic.

-
Pelit (Finland)Oct 20, 2011Almost as good as the first one. Main reasons are lack of cake, unfunny Wheatley and slightly boring one-solution middle-levels. Otherwise Portal 2 is as clever as it is well written. And now Half-Life 2: Ep 3, please. [May 2011]
-
Oct 6, 2011The graphics may not be of the same caliber of other AAA titles, and the story may falter from time to time, but those are paltry excuses not to experience one of the best current generation games around.
