Portal was a sleeper hit hidden amongst a collection of games that include Half-Life episodes. With Portal 2, the series gets the spotlight all to itself, and it sure deserves it! While at its core, Portal 2 is a unique puzzle game that lets you travel via portals to solve puzzles, it’s really a lot more than that. There’s a gripping story that unfolds as you progress through it, there’s brilliant writing that will have you laughing out loud, and there are several new gameplay elements that are constantly being introduced to keep you on your toes. Apart from the single player campaign, there’s also a separate, and equally fun, two-player mode with puzzles designed for co-operative gameplay. It’s easily one of the best games of the year so far.
