The game starts off in much the same way as the original, with Chell waking up in the Aperture Science research facility once more.

It’s the smallest additions that have the biggest impact Now that I’ve catered for the two people who haven’t heard of Portal, on with the review. It’s easier in practice than I make it sound. The Portal gun fires out two portal that then allow you to pass through them. For the small gaming minority who’ve been living under a rock since 2007 (shame on you) the game plays out as a first person puzzle title where you need to solve various test chambers by using the Aperture Science Portal gun. Those who’ve played the original will already have a firm grasp of the basic tenets of Portal 2. It has a few issues here and there, but no more than every other truly great game we’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. It was everything we wanted it to be and more. The amazing thing is that Portal 2 really does match the hype. The original Portal came out of nowhere and was unanimously praised for its unique gameplay and witty script, but the sequel was always going to need to match these same expectations twofold as a result. Thus the irony that so many sequels are laden with an insurmountable hype they can’t possibly contend with. Please note that this is an individual review, not a supplement to the PC versions’ review.Įxpectation is the silent killer of the gaming industry. Note: Reviews for Portal 2 (PC) and Portal 2 (Xbox 360) have been written by different authors from different countries, so their views may differ.
