    Portal 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed original, is nothing short of a masterpiece. From its ingenious puzzle design to its sharp writing and unforgettable characters, this game delivers an experience that is both intellectually stimulating and thoroughly entertaining.

The concept of using a    Portal 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed original, is nothing short of a masterpiece. From its ingenious puzzle design to its sharp writing and unforgettable characters, this game delivers an experience that is both intellectually stimulating and thoroughly entertaining.

    At the heart of Portal 2 lies its brilliant gameplay mechanics. The concept of using a portal gun to create interdimensional portals and navigate intricate test chambers is pure genius. The puzzles start off deceptively simple but gradually increase in complexity, challenging players to think outside the box and utilize their spatial awareness and problem-solving skills to overcome each obstacle. The satisfaction of figuring out a particularly challenging puzzle and executing the perfect portal sequence is unparalleled.

    What sets Portal 2 apart is its exceptional level design. The meticulously crafted test chambers are cleverly constructed, with multiple solutions and hidden secrets waiting to be discovered. The pacing is impeccable, gradually introducing new mechanics and building upon previous ones to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging throughout. The seamless integration of physics-based elements adds an extra layer of depth and creativity to the puzzles, making each solution feel like a triumph of logic and ingenuity.

    The writing in Portal 2 is top-notch, blending humor, wit, and a touch of dark comedy. The dialogue between the silent protagonist, Chell, and the hilariously malicious GLaDOS is sharp and memorable. The addition of new characters, such as the lovable yet bumbling Wheatley, brings even more depth and humor to the narrative. The story is captivating, delving into the history of Aperture Science and unveiling surprising twists and turns along the way.

    The voice acting in Portal 2 deserves special praise. Ellen McLain's performance as GLaDOS is exceptional, delivering deadpan humor and sly remarks with impeccable timing. Stephen Merchant's portrayal of Wheatley is equally brilliant, bringing the character to life with his comedic delivery and endearing charm. The voice cast as a whole adds a layer of personality and depth to the already well-crafted characters.

    Visually, Portal 2 is a treat for the eyes. The sterile yet intricate environments of the Aperture Science Laboratories are brought to life with stunning attention to detail. The combination of clean aesthetics, dynamic lighting, and subtle visual cues ensures that players can navigate the test chambers with ease while still appreciating the game's visual polish.

    Accompanying the gameplay and narrative is a remarkable soundtrack composed by Mike Morasky. The music perfectly complements the atmosphere of each moment, whether it's the haunting melodies that accompany exploration or the adrenaline-pumping tracks that underscore intense puzzle-solving sequences. The score adds depth and emotion to the game, immersing players further into the experience.

    Portal 2 is a shining example of video game craftsmanship. Its ingenious puzzles, sharp writing, memorable characters, and impeccable presentation make it an absolute must-play. This is a game that will challenge your mind, make you laugh, and leave a lasting impression. Portal 2 is a true gem in the gaming world and an experience that should not be missed.    … Expand

    This is my all time favorite video game. Everywhere and always. I'm shocked by the gigantism of these levels. I am amazed by the drama of the solo performances of the characters.
    Puzzles just got a little easier. But much more varied. And they added an amazing co-op to the game.

    A PORTAL TO THE FUTURE

    BEFORE WE BEGIN: I start with the premise that I have played everything Portal 2 has to offer; thus the singleplayer, online co-op, and challenge mode. In addition, I got the platinum and I studied its various secrets. WAKING UP: The game, depending on which mode you are playing in, immediately begins by projecting you inside this huge facility, The Aperture    A PORTAL TO THE FUTURE

    BEFORE WE BEGIN:
    I start with the premise that I have played everything Portal 2 has to offer; thus the singleplayer, online co-op, and challenge mode. In addition, I got the platinum and I studied its various secrets.

    WAKING UP:
    The game, depending on which mode you are playing in, immediately begins by projecting you inside this huge facility, The Aperture Science Inc., which, however, seems to have aged from the events of the first chapter, leaving you guessing at the time skip of several years. From the very first minutes, whether you play in single player or cooperative mode, the game explains how to use the basic mechanics of portals, immediately putting your personal portal gun in your hands. The initial differences between the two modes lie mainly in the extra mechanics that the cooperative mode possesses, namely those of the various pings that can be used to communicate between the two players.

    THROUGH THE PORTAL:
    The game visually is incredible and immortal; even played eleven years after its release, Portal 2's graphics and colors remain delicate and appreciable, regardless of which console you try it on. The use of the Source Engine, used in the very famous Half Life 2, makes the graphics, physics, and animations of this game not only at the top of those existing at the time, but still comparable to modern ones. The setting itself, though subjective, is also truly unique and fascinating. Nothing in this game is left to chance; lighting and colors are always used wisely by the game designers to give players a sense of what to do and when.

    WHEATLEY SAYS:
    The sound part of Portal 2, being a puzzle game anyway, does not claim to be sublime. In any case, Valve has decided to create multiple unique Osts that perfectly match the style of the area in which the player is moving or the cut-scene being watched. Huge credit goes to the voice actors who have given the robots unique personalities (Wheatley is perhaps one of the robots, in the video game market, with the most unique personality, perhaps comparable only to the legendary Cl4p-tp).

    IN THE TESTING CHAMBER:
    Portal's gameplay, on paper, is a simple puzzle game that takes advantage of the mechanics of two interconnected portals. The beauty of the gameplay, however, is how this mechanic has been used both within the areas expressly dedicated to puzzles and in the story areas in an extremely precise and dedicated way; it is almost impossible to solve puzzles in manners not intended by the developers, and trust me that if you think you have found a cheese, even that was probably designed by the developers precisely to give you that frenzy of completing a level in an unintended way, thus giving you the urge to continue solving levels. What really drives the player to continue the game is that feel-good feeling you get after figuring out how to solve a puzzle, as well as the obvious desire to find out more about the history of this mysterious company. Finally, a nod to the game's cooperative mode, designed to perfection to give the same feeling for two players. The experience has been made fun and not at all repetitive for players, as the cooperative levels are unique and much more complex than those found in the single-player mode.

    ACHIEVEMENTS:
    Portal's achievements are very simple and push the player to play almost everything it has to offer. The only flaw, in my opinion, is the achievement that requires you to complete the entire course 4 in co-op and without ever dying, which, compared to those that require you to complete some in speedrun, does not suit the puzzle genre as much as the platforming genre. In addition, there are as many as two achievements that require completing actions with multiple players online, limiting in the future or for those without the online subscription.

    BUT WHY 9?

    PROS:
    The pros of Portal 2 are countless and have been amply explained in the previous lines. Portal 2 is a game that borders on perfection, rarely encountering bugs or unintended things; the graphics, animations, and direction are almost immortal. The story, for a puzzle game, is compelling and not at all trivial. The game length is almost perfect for the style of the game. The variety of levels is excellent. In short, Portal 2, like almost all of Valve's work, is a timeless masterpiece that still propels us into the future of puzzle games.

    CONS:
    Finding cons for this game is very, very difficult. The only small things that do not make it a ten are the lack of a menu to select specific levels. Also, a totally personal choice by a game designer in first place, without spoilers(those who have seen will understand), I would have left the final phase of the game (The elevator) in the hands of the player, so that he can really feel the freedom.

One only has to look at the quality of the single-player campaign's puzzles and new mechanics to see how it took the simple foundation laid out by Portal and went even further than one would've thought possible. Beyond single-player, Portal 2's co-op mode and community test chambers just show how far the developers go to give players everything they could've asked for in a follow-up, and more.

    The story of Portal 2, while still following the events of the first game, still feels like a complete narrative to those who never got around to playing the first game, and as such, holds its own for those who don't want to bother with the first one (even though the first game only takes a couple hours to play through; I'd highly recommend visiting it before or even after playing through Portal 2 to get the full experience of both the story and 2's updated mechanics).

    I cannot recommend a game more. While other contenders for "Best Game of All Time" might only appeal to some players -- RDR2 can be a huge time investment and Half-Life 2's gameplay might feel outdated to modern audiences -- I truly feel that Portal 2 is a game for everybody, no matter one's age, skill level, or interest in story.    … Expand

This sounds like a good idea to make the puzzle design clearer, but all it does is ruin the game by literally giving away the solution really quick. If you see a little patch of surface that works with portals, the end of the story is you are gonna want to put a portal there and you will progress. The first Portal dumped you in rooms where the portal gun worked on any surface, which makes you feel much smarter when you figure it out. Portal 2 feels like an interactive movie, like it's the MGS4 of Portal. You feel stupid when they point out where you're "allowed" to shoot portals and by the time the game is over, you don't really feel like you played a puzzle game. Every once in a while you'll see this for $1 on a Steam sale, I would not even pay $10 for how it is normally. They spent too much time trying to fleece idiots and normies with the whole meme that Portal became, and not that much time making good puzzles. The entire point of puzzle games is you do puzzles wrong the first couple times before you figure it out. They forgot that and went for the memes.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Один из лучших игровых сиквелов. Еще одна игра от Valve, завершившая серию на цифре 2. Что можно в целом по ней сказать. Эта игра проработана во всех отношениях: интересные физические головоломки, которые со временем усложняются, неплохой саундтрек, процедурно генерируемый по ходу действий игрока, отличная на момент выхода графика, юморные монологи и диалоги, граничащие с абсурдом и чернухой (юмор здесь вообще на одной из первых ролей) - лишь часть ее достоинств. Главным же достоинством, на мой взгляд, является сюжет, который здесь развит глубже, чем в первой части и прекрасно ее продолжает. Мы так же играем за Челл, на сей раз проснувшуюся в криокамере после продолжительного сна, куда ее забрал Распорядитель вечеринки в конце оригинала. Мы знакомимся с новым действующим лицом - Уитли - которое будет с нами на протяжении почти всей игры, причем в одной роли в начале и совершенно в другой - в конце. По ходу сюжета мы запускаем побежденную GLaDOS, проваливаемся в испытательные камеры, проходим их, сбегаем с Уитли, обезоруживаем ее, появляемся перед GLaDOS и меняем ее модуль на модуль Уитли. Затем он нас предает, мы проваливаемся вниз в старые части лаборатории вместе с GLaDOS-картошкой, проходим в них испытания, знакомясь с новыми механиками и открываем нового важного персонажа, Кейва Джонсона, общающегося с нами через свои записи, находим GLaDOS и, объединившись, выбираемся наверх. Наконец, пройдя все испытания Уитли с новыми механиками, мы вновь встречаемся с ним и в финальном сражении побеждаем, открыв портал (!) на Луну и чуть не улетев в космос, после чего GLaDOS-Кэролайн (удаленная) отпускает нас под прелестнейшую арию турелей буквально в чистое поле. Мне крайне понравилась данная история, хотя я также люблю историю и первой части, несмотря на ее краткость. В остальном, кроме сюжета, игра проработана отлично, как я уже сказал, здесь есть интересные отсылки для фанатов и не только, сами локации дают простор для фантазии и модов, присутствует сюжетный кооператив на двоих, продолжающий основную игру (его я еще обязательно пройду!). Оригинальные характеры героев, необычный для головоломок масштаб, история с отличным финалом и, конечно, сама механика переносных порталов, помноженная на остальные механики, присутствующие в игре, делают ее незабываемым впечатлением, которое хочется пережить заново. Торт - это ложь!… Expand

    One of the "must plays" of PC gaming, Portal 2's significance in the gaming industry is undoubtedly deserved due to extremely fun puzzles, gameplay and overall theme. Arguably the best game valve has ever produced, along a line of game after game of high quality levels of care from these developers.

    A 10/10 because it's just the best puzzle game ever. It's story with multiple twists can also compete with other great games. It also has a multiplayer as well as a puzzle maker. It has many chapters (with many chambers) so the playtime is quite high. Simultaneously it offers 51 Achievements on Steam. The game has really nice details and entertaining dialogues. All in all it's just a masterpiece.

    Portal 2 es como Portal... Pero mejor en todo. Si ya Portal es una obra maestra, esta secuela expande y mejora absolutamente todo. La música es bastante mejor que la del primer juego y los gráficos no tienen cambio prácticamente, pero si que tiene un estilo artístico ligeramente más variado.

    Portal es un juego con UNA mecánica: disparar portales. Solo tiene una, pero la pule hasta el extremo. En cambio Portal 2 da todavía más jugo a la mecánica de portales y añade alguna otra, como los líquidos esos raros de colores que poseen distintas propiedades, manteniendo un nivel de pulido en todas impecable.

    Los puzles y diseño de niveles es mucho mejor que el del primero, dando situaciones mucho más variadas, teniendo que pensar mejor las acciones de cada puzle y aprovechando cada mecánica al máximo para dar los mejores puzles que he visto en videojuegos.

    La historia es 1000 veces mejor que la del primero. Hay nuevos personajes que tienen muchísimo carisma, como Weastley o Cave Jhonson y cada personaje evoluciona a lo largo del juego. No quiero hacer spoilers, pero la historia es buenísima.

    Portal es imprescindible, pero no sé que haces leyendo esta review sin haber jugado Portal 2. De los mejores videojuegos que he jugado en unos años.    … Expand

    Portal 2 is by far the best puzzle game ever created. The first part lacked a little bit of variety and interesting, although in the first part it is also normal. In Portal 2 everything is perfect! Good graphics even for 2023, a great story with interesting characters and unexpected twists, varied gameplay and puzzles .

    Although it is not flashy, it has a high degree of perfection as an action puzzle game. The game balance that gradually increases the gimmicks is also exquisite. The atmosphere and the production by the voice actors draw you into the game well. Co-op play has more complicated gimmicks and higher difficulty, but you can enjoy a different fun than single mode.

Seus gráficos são ótimos e ainda atuais para um jogo de 12 anos atrás. Engraçado e divertido, Portal 2 inclui piadas e diálogos incríveis que me fizeram rir diversas vezes. Esse jogo é um exemplo a ser seguido quando se trata de como fazer uma sequência, porque conseguiram aprimorar muito bem as mecânicas e dar uma continuidade em sua história (que elevou muito o nível de um jogo para o outro) de forma coerente. Além disso, melhoraram em algo que o jogo anterior deixou a desejar, que foi sua duração. Enquanto o primeiro jogo da franquia tem no máximo quatro horas de duração em seu modo história, Portal 2 possui mais de 10, passando pelos mais diferentes desafios e cenários durante essa jornada. Ainda é um jogo com muito conteúdo, por possuir ainda um modo cooperativo e Desafios. Levando em conta tudo o que foi citado, não é impossível deduzir que Portal 2 é um dos melhores jogos do século e, consequentemente, de Todos os Tempos, ainda mais por terem conseguido fazer uma obra-prima dessas rodar em quase todos os computadores, sendo um jogo muito leve e barato (um dos melhores custos-benefícios), mesmo levando seus gráficos, que quase são atuais, e tudo que contei antes.

    Almost 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]
