Nice Game

Nice Game

fun game, nice graphics, cyberpunk world (which is always good in my book), tight controls, worth picking up!

Following the great success of the first person action-oriented puzzle game Portal, that shook the world with its innovative concept and genius puzzle designs, Valve delivers once again with its sequel (Portal 2).

Portal 2 builds and improves a lot on the foundation of its predecessor. It does this very well in fundamentally every aspect, anything from story to gameplay.

Just like its predecessor, the gameplay is phenomenal and highly enhanced by the immersive atmosphere and grand world building as you traverse through the Aperture Laboratories. As for the mechanics, Portal 2 adds plenty of new interesting ones which really introduces a whole new level of complexity, depth and variation to the puzzles. Apart from the single player campaign, Portal 2 offers a really pleasant co-op course you can play with a friend (which is by far some of the most fun I have ever had in video games). Additionally, there is a whole Steam workshop for you to download custom maps from many creative and talented creators. It is safe to say that you will have plenty of great content to sink a good chunk of hours into.

With all of that said, it is definitely not an easy task to live up to the high standards set by the magnificent gameplay, but regardless the rich story easily finds a way and certainly does not fall short. It is intriguing and well written with excellent execution, great pacing, brilliant plot twists as well as a diverse cast of absolute world-class characters easily among the best you will ever come across.

It goes without saying that Portal 2 has done nothing but improve and build on top of the Portal legacy as a beloved franchise, highly praised by critics and the general public. It has successfully established its roots and proven to the world that it is one of the best games on the market. I think Portal 2 takes the cake for Valve’s greatest piece of work. A beyond worthy successor to Portal worth every penny. I highly recommend this absolute masterpiece of a game to everyone out there. Indubitably a must-own and must-play!

This is a game I randomly found on youtube, the funny physics was worth my attention, the fact it was made for co-op was worth my money. I bought this game to play it with my friend and it didn't disappoint me, I always had so much fun and looking forward to play it more. The game combines easy/medium puzzles with a funny and tricky physic that makes the easiest tasks not so easy to perform, it creates a lot of funny situations, especially with your friends. Is it worth the buy? You judge.


PROS
GRAPHICS: When I bought this game, I had a 1gb graphic card that could barely fit into the minimum requirements EAH5850), despite that the engine wasn't too heavy and could run quite smooth without FPS drops, meaning it can run on most of nowadays' PCs. The graphic is easy but not minimal, good enough if you're not looking for something complex.

PHYSICS: Physics is not perfect, but funny as hell! You will find yourself in very funny situations you can barely control and while one side of physics is automated (like climbing short walls), the other side will make the easiest tasks (like using a key) harder than you could imagine, making the game funny to watch and hard to play, at least at the beginning.

COOP: The game is fully playable alone, but coop is the best part of it! You can choose between multiplayer, private and local. Playing in private servers with your friends (and with a mic) is the best option you should go for, local coop works fine as alternative. Helping each other solving a puzzle can be more a handicap than help due to its funny physics, but that's what make this game so funny. I haven't tried the multiplayer with strangers, but I recommend it mostly if you have at least one known friend to privately play with.

PUZZLES: Despite there's not a huge variety of puzzles and some tasks can become repetitive, some puzzles can be quite challenging or creative, some may be resolved in alternative ways, but it won't bore you too much for a couple runs. The workshop can add some new puzzles invented by users, giving the game a Portal 2 potential with custom maps and ideas.

ACHIEVEMENTS: The game was quite short after all, it didn't take too long to complete all the maps, thankfully the developers didn't forget to add a very good extra with achievements! Some achievements are funny and creative, a good variety to use as secondary missions, adding some extra fun to play it again in a more challenging way beside solving the mere puzzle. All of them are possible and don't require hundreds of hours to complete, it's highly recommended to try some of them once you complete all the default maps.

UPDATES: The game seems steadily updated, especially for big updates (new map and workshop just to name two), which gives some room for improvements. Every update is welcome but the game is already in a playable state, worth the buy in the early access in the actual state.

WORKSHOP: The few default maps and the lack of workshop was a big con I reported to my future review, the adding of the workshop in a beta state through group subscription was a decent temporary solution, the full implementation of a working workshop was the best move to make the game great! It's still a new feature and the maps are not perfect, but it's the first step to greatly expand the game, almost mandatory for a game like this.


CONS
MECHANICS: Mechanics looks great, but I had the flashback that developers didn't realize how some mechanics featured could really break the game. You can climb any wall by swaying left and right, jump longer with hands up, huge shortcuts, features that were supposed to be limits in the game and not used as advantages to skip harder puzzles, once you learn them or someone abuse of them, the game is partially ruined. I fear the devs didn't notice it at first and now it's too late to change mechanics, but they aren't easy to learn at the first runs, better stay away from them if you want to enjoy the game.

MAPS QUANTITY: The quality of default maps is quite good (beside some huge shortcuts), unfortunately there aren't many of them and the workshop quality is a bit too far still. They should add more default maps to give the game some concrete roots and extra playing time, but the quantity of updates gives hope there may be more maps in the future. Achievements are a good reason to replay the maps and the workshop is the best alternative once the game is over.

PRECISION: While the funny physic is eye candy, some puzzles require a precision that should have been in the game. I had some problems with some movements and failing some hard tasks because the physic has no precision can be far from being funny. Sometimes jumps are too late, hands don't stick on surfaces, often failing a rather easy climb, just to name a few.

REPETITIVE: The lack of variety of puzzles can make the game repetitive, but the adding of the workshop gives a chance to break repetitiveness if given the right tools. Probably you will get tired of the game after the first runs, just depends how much you want/can play with your friends.

Final word: A very funny game greatly recommended to play with friends, funny hard physic perfectly fit into easy tasks, simple light graphic to make it run smooth and workshop to keep playing it for a longer time. Very recommended with any group of friends, especially with rookies.

yes it's "content" abandoned. Most know about the legal issues and arguments surrounding it. The devs still hang around for the odd patch and supposed bug fixes. As a "ended" game is ok, they still claim to be working on bugs and fix support over time. The game itself is quite fun, you just have to be satisfied with the content it has, understanding it will not be getting any more. (So what, as a point, neither will Left for dead 2 or many many other games). They are a bit lazy with the bugs fixes and glitches true, but the game does have a lot of fun things about it despite its' flaws, and you can watch folks having a pretty good time on twitch.

It does have single player part where you can play as Jason against bots. Now supposedly the devs have stated that they will not let the game die (when official servers go down) without an end of life plan. That the stuff will be unlocked for the offline mode that isn't now, and the ability to host your own servers will be there and expanded for future playability if and when they stop official server support. SO that is actually my only worry. but hopefully they will hold that promise.

In the meantime, the game is very fun with friends, and when lucky enough to not ruin into toxic randoms, even the online is fun in that case as well as Solo being also a fun timekiller. the Counselor bots aren't too bad, some other games have worse bots to be honest. All in all, it's certainly worth a sale price of 10 or less. I got it for me and my boys and we've been happy with the purchase so far.

Nice Game

A very addictive game, but after a while it can get boring, but when you start playing it again you get addicted, and the loop just goes around and around. It's a very good game, but can be stressful, there are so VERY good players and VERY toxic players in this game.
