Portal 2

It's a classic, a masterpiece. Playing with a former loved one made it even more enjoyable. I'll definitely return someday.

very good game with the scary robot lady and the robot dude

its a beautiful game with puzzles and a good story

In 2025, in a world filled with evermore lifeless AI generated slop, playing through Portal 2 felt like the first time in awhile I experienced a genuine piece of art. Ironically, its a game about trying to escape an abandoned dystopian lab controlled and run by a maniacal AI. However, the story, the detailed world-building, and the masterful game design all convey the intentional efforts of many skilled humans behind the scenes. If you enjoy solving some light to moderately difficult puzzles and fun story, you are in for a real treat!

Easily a classic. Fantastic story, funny dialogue, and an almost endless supply of community made levels to boot. Easily one of my favorite brain teaser games to pick up when I'm bored and want something that will make me use my brain.

Super fun game to play, especially the two player. I've made tons of great memories playing with my brothers.

Portal 2 is a brilliant puzzle game with expanded mechanics, a longer campaign, and richer story—plus Wheatley is a hilarious, standout character. Co-op requires a second player, but Portal 1 sets the stage, so buying both offers the full experience and is absolutely worth it. ;)

I love the portal games i love portal 2 i love puzzles game and these puzzles r so good and so rewarding and fun and the story is really enjoyable and the whimsy this game has yes yes yes ooh please release portal 3 now <3

Ich hab Portal 1 nur ein bischen gespielt, aber das hier ist heftig, also ich hätte nicht gedacht, wie cool das ist, so mit der brutalistischen Architektur und der tiefen Story, dem unglaublich guten Humor. Spiel läuft auf jeder Kartoffel und sieht auch immer geil aus, was will man mehr.
Danke Valve

Same as the previous game i like this, and the story is very good and long, and also the jokes are quite funny, i like it, rich story and better graphics.

fun game good story. It gets your mind working while the story develops.

There’s a kind of silence that only comes in sterile rooms.
A quiet too clean to be real.
Portal 2 begins in that kind of silence — a room with a bed, a wall, a button.
And then, suddenly, a voice.
British. Nervous.
Funny.

When I played it the first time, I laughed.
The puzzles were clever. The writing was sharp. The portals bent space like origami.
But I didn’t understand what it was really doing.

Years later, I came back.
Older.
Tired.
After a funeral.

And I realized Portal 2 isn’t about science.
It’s about being trapped in systems you didn’t build.
It’s about waking up to find the world moved on without you.
It’s about memory loss, about being used, about the lies we tell ourselves to stay sane.

But it’s also about resistance.
Not with guns. Not with violence.
But with cleverness. With disobedience. With thinking differently.
The gun doesn’t shoot bullets — it opens doors.

GLaDOS was never just a villain.
She was grief with a voice.
She was the bitterness that comes when you remember everything and can’t forget any of it.
And Wheatley?
He was the kind of friend who means well, breaks things anyway, and apologizes too late.
I’ve known people like him.
I’ve been people like him.

In the end, you solve it not by fighting harder, but by listening.
By outwitting.
By finding that one perfect moment where the world folds open and lets you through.

When the elevator rose into the sunlight and the turrets sang their hymn, I cried.
Not because the game was over.
But because I remembered that sometimes, you do get out.
Not unchanged. Not untouched.
But free.

Portal 2 teaches you that the impossible is just poorly labeled.
That humor can be a weapon.
That escape is earned, not given.
And that sometimes, even in the darkest places,
someone leaves a potato light on for you.

Story: ★★★★★
Music: ★★★★★
Gameplay: ★★★★★
Overall: ★★★★★
Anything I say to praise this game would be an understatement

I'd say its better than the first one, since it got better graphics than the first one, and it got better lore too. Would recommend.

This game is just perfect, bloody brilliant! Fun story, fun characters, a great lore to look at and analyze, amazing puzzles all around...This game is what a 10/10 truly is. The jokes land, are great and have aged well. The characters are complex and are just great to have around and the puzzles aren't that complicated but they also aren't for little kids, you have to use your noggin a bit to figure stuff out. 10/10.

One of the greatest games ever. Thank you for Linux support.

Just like the first, these games are iconic and for good reason. This one also has a multiplayer feature which is also a bunch of fun to play through. It goes on sale all the time, just get it for the experience.

Yes... You Might Learn Physics this is a helpful game how velocity works

Just buy it you know the game is good you know it's cheap and you will be playing it forever

just finished the singleplayer mode
I've been watching youtube videos about this game since i was in primary school, now that i've finally played it. It's no wonder why this game is so popular back then.

TL;DR absolute cinema

One of the Classics and holds up perfect in 2025. Great gameplay, tons of charm, wit & I think legitimately has the best comedic timing I've seen from a video game lol.

Gameplay is super creative & tons of fun, really gets you flexing those problem solving skills & feels rewarding to overcome! Shows you a lot of cool mechanics in it's proverbial box and will require you to still think outside said box. Being observant is the key!

Game is already worth it's full sale price (Would honestly say it's well worth double lol) but is frequently on sale if you'd like to save some money and is a 100% BUY recommendation from me!

An incredible sequel to an already good game that ties to the Half-Life universe I had a fun time playing and overall story was cool I enjoyed the accessibility to the workshop I also liked the extra content. I would for sure replay this game.

I've replayed this game more times than I can count and I can confidently say that it will never, ever get old for me. From the moment little me launched this game, I was in love. Every year I come back to it, and every year it affects me just the same; whether that be the pure joy I feel rediscovering easter eggs I somehow forgot about, or the aching feeling I get when realizing I will never be able to play this for the very first time again -- it honestly, HONESTLY has impacted my life so greatly, more than any other game I know... and I have games with over 2k hours on it. But playtime be damned, this is my favorite game.

My friend had made a point that many games nowadays are similar in nature (with shooter games being the example used, however I can apply that to many, many other games). The fact that a 14 year old game, to me, surpasses these games that have graphics so intensive that that's solely what it's known for is incredibly bittersweet, and yet, in a way, I wouldn't change it. The real charm of this game comes with the period of time it was made in (the golden age, I'd say), and due to the nature of post 2020 style games, I can't help but imagine that it would unfortunately end up like most media: popular for about a month, before being forgotten about in favor of something new. A game like Portal doesn't deserve that treatment.

That hasn't happened to Portal, or Half Life, or any of the notable Valve games, really. It's quiet, there's no official new content, but I always find myself stumbling across other Portal fans in the wild. If not the story, or the gameplay, or the funny shit you can do in co-op, then my favorite part of this game would purely be the timeless factor of it.

I've definitely rambled and this is a hell of a lot more dramatic than my other reviews, but I couldn't understand why I reviewed a fangame prior to this one. Maybe it's because I've never really been able to find the words to describe how much this game means to me. Like, literally, this whole block of text still doesn't do any justice on how much I love it.

Portal 2 is a puzzle masterpiece, and its co-op mode? Absolute genius. Playing with a friend takes the game from brilliant to legendary. The puzzles are cleverly designed, and the way you and your partner need to work together to solve them is a perfect blend of challenge and hilarity.

It’s not just about figuring out the puzzles — it’s about timing, trust, and coordination. Every new level feels like a test of how well you and your partner can communicate and think on your feet. And with GLaDOS throwing sarcastic comments your way, it’s nonstop entertainment.

If you're looking for a co-op game that will test your brains, make you laugh, and leave you feeling accomplished after every puzzle, Portal 2 is one of the best out there. It’s a co-op experience that’s hard to beat.

this is a great game, i have been meaning to play the main story for a while now, and let me say that the puzzles are really well crafted and get more complicated as you progress

DO NOT CHEAT!!!

Portal 2 is the perfect sequel to Portal 1 and expands its story and world to a wide scale. It immerses you well into the setting of the Enrichment Center and introduces you immediately to one of my personal favorite (and fan favorite) characters ever Wheatley who's companionship and goofy antics makes him a joy to have in the game. The new mechanics make solving puzzles fun and challenging at the same time and allows for more diversity in the testing chambers than previously before. The introduction of Old Aperture and the way it is used to purvey the beginnings and lore of the facility is done in a smooth and fascinating way. On top of all this, the visuals that go alongside the game are surprisingly good for their age and help you appreciate the vast and complex features of the facility. The Co-op content that happens after the main game's story has an insane amount of fun and well made levels. They do a very good job of including the challenging puzzles in tandem with making them fun to play with a friend. Overall, Portal 2 is an amazing experience that is well worth the time, effort, money, and brain power you spend playing it.

My God, VALVe never disappoints.

It's actually amazing how good this game is especially considering the fact that it's usually on sale for like a dollar. When i first played the original Portal, i did like the game but i wouldn't say i loved it. it was a neat little game that fit it's small scale very well but for me, it didn't have that "uumph" factor a lot of VALVe games have. No matter how much you liked the original Portal, you have to admit the final product did feel like a side project VAVLe didn't put too much effort into compared to their other games like Half Life 2 or Left 4 Dead.

Here? They completely threw that. There's sooo many new ideas here, paced evenly so that all the new mechanics get their time to shine without it feeling overwhelming. The environmental storytelling, while not as eerie as the first in my opinion, sells it's fantasy much better than the first with all the different moods they tried to evoke here like the dilapidated and broken down test chambers from the first game, or getting to see Cave Johnson go from a young aspiring scientist to a desperate and broken shell of a businessman by listening to J.K Simmons wonderful audio logs. The characters are so brilliantly written, they feel and act like real people and that trademark wit and sass from the first game is still here without taking away from the serious moments in the game. My only minor complaint is that i wish the game had more variety in how you could tackle the puzzles you're given because i feel like that would have given it more replay value and it would've let you be able to solve the puzzles faster in your own way.

Nonetheless, while i personally don't think this is VALVe's best game (i still think that title does to Half Life 2) the feats this game accomplished should not at all be ignored. Seriously what are you waiting for? The game on it's usual price is cheaper than a family meal and on sale it's the price of a KIt-Kat bar. Go buy it. 10/10

Classic. One of the best games of all time - Excellent story, fun puzzles.

Played multiplayer and now I want to kill myself. But at least I feel something again. 10/10

The only thing I think could be improved is the multiplayer having more tests but either way this game is one of, if not the best, steam games of all time.

This is undoubtedly one of the best sequels ever made. It is essentially the first game but with each and every gameplay mechanics improved, deepened and refined for the better. With more creative and sometimes mind-boggling puzzles and puzzling mechanics that keeps on getting introduced, even hours deep into the game. Story-wise, not only it expands from where it left you back in the previous game, but it also creates a foundation being the backstory prior to the game as you progress through the seemingly never-ending Aperture Science subterranean complex. The characters are also effortlessly and naturally charming and the storytelling being integrated seamlessly into the gameplay and the environment you traverse, makes for an intriguing ride—one that is a tad bit longer than the first one.

Oh and uh, do keep in mind that if you're one of those snowflakes who couldn't bear to take jokes regarding one's lack of parents or the overabundance of calories in one's body, you may want to refrain from playing this game and miss out on the perfect sequel to one of the best puzzle games of all time. But I suppose you might have already heard this before, and if you somehow already played it and get offended by it, feel free to complain about it on social media and wage war against these fictional characters in a goddarn video game.

This is the 2nd-best game that I've ever played - it takes the clever and fun puzzle-solving of Portal, improves upon it, and adds some fun characters and a story line into the mix too. It's great!

Miss when storylines felt this personal. Valve games having mute characters really makes them classics.

Me encanto, la mejor experiencia de videojuegos que tuve hasta el momento, gráficos buenos historia divertida y gameplay de otro nivel, lo recomiendo

Portal 1, but more! Portal 2 builds off of everything that Portal 1 was and is a great successor to the original. Again, simple, timeless, fun. Would highly recommend.

you just gotta think - with portals

When you play this, you're contributing to science ; )

This is the best valve game of all time.

After playing this game I struggle with basic math

This is one of the best game ever.

Play it now.

If you're thinking about buying it, do it faster.

I would like to thank Valve for making these games for us. Games like Portal (1-2), Team Fortress (OG-2), and the game (which the third might never come out) Half-life (1-2-Alyx-etc).

>>One of the best game in its genre building on its successor 'Portal' offering a longer campaign, fluid mechanics and great graphics.

>>Portal 2 is a puzzle platform game with an engaging story, easy-to-learn controls with just the right amount of difficulty to keep a player hooked. Its a perfect game for newbie gamers to start their gaming journey.

>>It has a great story. Moreover a detailed story, with almost no plot holes. Its rich with humour, dark atmospheric experience and surprising twists blending in the perfect amount of emotional depth. It builds upon the story of its predecessor following the mc in their journey throughout the aperture laboratory exploring its history and that of the story itself.

>>It has about 6-12 hour playtime depending on how you play the game, with almost no bugs or glitches.( i didnt experience a single bug while playing)

>>The game is easy to master and offers very fluid and smooth movements. It also runs at high fps in max settings with no stutter.

>>Due to it being a puzzle type game its replay value is somewhat compromised but it has the coop mode and other puzzles ingame so it can be enjoyed a bit longer.

>>Overall its a masterpiece for its time and still a great deal today. I would suggest to wait for sale but its definitely worth the full price. IT offers an exceptional experience whether you play it solo or co op with friends.

Great game. I'd recommend it purely for the voice lines by Wheatly. The entire storyline is goated, but man that robot is hilarious.

I give it a 10/10 - best use of my time since the 2008 financial crisis.

Probably the best sequel to a game of all time (in my opinion, of course.) Graphics and game design are top notch, characters are insanely like-able and funny, and of course, the consistently fun and creative gameplay mechanic; the portals. Couldn't recommend this game more. If you're considering buying this game-- absolutely go for it.

I love the physics based puzzles, very logic based game

The game is great but..
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THAT SONG AT THE END!

Its crazy funny and sad.

i get it now
14 years late, but i get it
iconic - no other word will do this game justice

Has really good gameplay and storytelling play it

Lovely game that continually keeps you entertained. Puzzle solving with a good story.

It took 8 hours to finish but it took a long time to get rid of happiness that felt like a void in the middle of my chest. After the first game, the story of Glados and this place made my mind start understanding. The new features such as liquids, blue road and others made puzzles a lot interesting and harder than i thought. The quality of the game were beautiful. You can even play with your friends, that was a feature i didn't guess before playing the second game. A worthy game to pay without thinking.
