Thanks to users @feardeer and @VibrantFox for recommending Portal 2! Keep 'em coming!
Portal 2 is a first-person puzzle platformer, forcing you to look at the world differently as sarcastic robots try everything in their power to kill you. Or make each other potatoes. It happens sometimes.
–Verdict–
Art: The style of this game gets the job done, but in a functionally good way. Each puzzle is well-thought-out and the atmosphere doesn’t get in the way of the game. The greatest artistry is the scripting and voice acting, with each quip and ridiculous Cave Johnson quote adding so much more than the graphics could.
Gameplay: Use your portal gun to create a pathway from one surface to another, transporting gels, lasers, solid light, yourself, and basically anything you can get your hands on throughout “safe” test chambers. As you progress further and further into the now-dilapidated Aperture Science you’ll need to think deeper and react faster as more and more environmental hazards try their hand at killing you or your friend playing with you. Why, you ask? For science, of course!
Replayability: Zero. I can’t even watch other people play this game due to the incredibly strong urge to yell “YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG”, yank the controller from their hands and finish the puzzle. This is definitely a one-and-done game.
Would I recommend? Yeah. Portal is a strongly-crafted experience that couples good level design with excellent writing to create a very satisfying one or two player game. I’d recommend to buy this game used or on sale, though, because once you finish you will never be able to play it again. In the words of Cave Johnson: we’re done here.
