Like Portal 1, but meatier. More of a story that backfills some of what was omitted from the first instalment. Puzzles do get significantly more complicated in this iteration, and often the size of them is much bigger too. While the game has its more sinister moments, it definitely retains the humour and charm the series is known for.

100% recommended

Really amazing game! Would replay. Loved it more than the first game; it had me laughing, heartbroken, and on a roller coaster of emotions. Very satisfying ending as well. Would recommend playing it 10/10 for single player content alone, and multiplayer is a fun added bonus.

this game is very fun and i am excited for portal 3 because i got a feeling it's gonna be good just like portal 1 and 2 i never played 1 but i watched it and it was amazing so i hope that portal keeps evolving like this at it is one of the best games iv ever played than you for making this game

It's a pretty good sequel to the original portal game, the graphics were better of course and the game was longer. The story was pretty nice too.

Portal 2 is exactly what you want. More portal, but better. The humor is fantastic, there are tons of little things and extras to find. This game really gives you more backstory about Aperture Science, which I quite enjoyed, Also there are a couple of new mechanics added that really fleshes out the puzzle variety. Let's talk about community made levels... you could play all day and not have scratched the surface of the community levels. And HIGH quality, lovingly built community levels. If you like portal or just puzzles, this game is for you. I give it 10/10 For it's replay ability, fun, creativity and humor. Get it. Today.

This game is very entertaining. it is, however, quite the long game. if you wish to be fully enveloped in a game for hours on end, this may be the title for you. A refreshing sequel that is sure to keep you wanting more from this universe of mind-bending portal goodness.

This game is amazing. I love every part of it and that is not an overstatement. The story line just encapsulates me. I highly recommend you buy this. The plot twists, the detail, all of it!

The mods can even build on the story! My favorite is Portal Stories Mel, an amazing portal 2 mod.

Make sure to beg Valve for Portal 3.

I first got this game as a child on the xbox360 and it has not left my heart since. I had never played the first portal before playing this game, and yet it was still amazing, the plot unfolding as a mystery to me like it does for our blue helper bot companion. The puzzles are fun and challenging. If there was ever a piece of media I wish I could erase all my memories of to experience it again for the first time it would be portal 2. Please play this game, not doing so is doing yourself a great disservice.

Playing this game I enjoied this game! At first,there is unforgettable characters.For example:GLaDOS and Uitli.GLaDOS is known for her dark humor)But Uitli known for his stupid form.Scietists made him look like a fool and he didn't admit it.
Aperture Scients is the most strange and humor company.They even left a message for the apocalypse!Also they made turells at first for ....kids?! Yes,it's strange,but it's true.Turrels must protect kids.Because of this they have baby phrases.
As for me I recommend portal 2! It worth their money!

One of my favorite games, only beaten by the first portal game. Or maybe beat by the obvious best game, Minions Rush: Please don't Groom Minions.

I badly want to give this game a "Not Recommended", because I hate a lot of things about the main singleplayer campaign. It tries too hard to be funny and dramatic, fails to retain the lonely atmosphere which Portal 1 mastered, has dumbed-down level design, and is plagued with loading screens.

However, I must accept that the game isn't outright bad as a whole package. There is an entire other campaign for multiplayer, and an easy-to-use level editor which generates an endless amount of content. This may be a solid deal for you, but personally, I will just keep replaying Portal 1.

I really liked Portal 2; there's a funny and reflexive interative mood that makes the story and the game even better. They've borught up with interesting topics like ethical stuff that aplies on with advencement of science, mainly on technology, and if you think, that kinda makes sense. I haven't played the first Portal yet, but I will, eventually, and I hope the first one is as good as Portal 2.

If you thought Portal 1 was good, you would be blown away of how good Portal 2. Rich environmental story telling, with some of the most recognizable, best, and funniest characters in gaming. Buy this game!

This game is top tier. It has all the aesthetics and visuals of a dystopian science fiction game and the concepts of non-euclidean physics, gravity and portal concepts make for a stunning presentation. 10/10

The game lives up to its hype.

That's it. That's my review. Play it.

P.S. This game is a lot more CPU heavy than GPU. Make sure you're fans are running at high enough speed to keep your temps under control.

TLDR: Very creative sequel and a great one at that
So i dont have a very good description on how good this game is, it has a good story and way more gameplay than the first portal game but it has so much to say about, from the overgrowth in the original stages to the new ways for movement (repulsion, propulsion, and portal surface gels), having a new character and much more. the end scene (along with the space scene) are very unique and remember the companion cube from the first game? you end up getting it back at the wheat field scene

10/10 reunite with companion cube

Absolute must play, especially once you've played portal 1. I can't believe I put this game off for so long, such a masterpiece of gaming. Short and sweet which I consider a plus.

consider this a follow up to my portal 1 review, this game manages to become 10x more cursed, this time the valve guy starts TURNING AROUND, if the last game was cursed, this game is outright satanic, i again urge people to stay away from this game at all costs.

Great game! The uniqueness of the levels and the puzzle solving really makes you engaged. Learning all the strategies and paths will make you say "OHHHHHH I SEE" 8.5/10 game most definitely!

10 years late to the game, but I could not resist playing this magnificent game. Needless to say, you should too. Fantastic puzzles for all ages, hilarious comedy, and wonderful sense of impending doom.

about 7 hours long, and really fun. i brought it simply because it was on sale; and yet its still a timeless classic that i really enjoy. this is only the 2nd time ive truly played through it and its about a 7 hour game (2 hour if you're a speedrunner) but its a blast through and through, and genuinely worth the FULL price. almost a decade and this is still one of the best singleplayer and co op games out there, valve hit gold with this one and didnt even sell out. i'd love to see more of GLADos and Wheatley, they play off each other soo well. the story is super well written in both the plot and the characters themselves. alot of great jokes and funny moments, like wheatley calling you a "fatty fatty no parents" because you're an orphan. i cant wait for a couple years so i can play through this again.

Man, this is a good game. Puzzles are interesting, sometimes pretty hard. The graphics really suit the atmosphere they were going for, and the story... It's great. I love looking out, in the underground, wondering... what was this place like, when it was working?

The epic second part of the most revolutionary game in industry, love this game and Valve for this masterpiece.

BEE

Brilliant game that stood the test of time. Puzzles that are decently challenging, cool narrative and the sense of scale with how monolithic most structures are as well as the price tag, makes this a no brainer to recommend as a triple A single player game. Co op adds a little more to this perfect cake but if i had to nitpick most of the co op stages are very simple compared to the single player (aside from the additional courses).
