portal 2 has better comedy and writing than most newer games and gameplay where i have realized my tiny pea brain is NOT built for this entirely. Other than that, story is much more improved on this game compared to portal 1's small tiny hidden rooms with lore and glados's remarks about you. it's more heavy on comedy (which is done well) and story based than portal 1's really eerie atmosphere that still ticks me the wrong way and tiny lore. I absolutely loved exploring old aperture's facilities through the decades and i loved cave johnson's funny dialogue and seeing his stubborness that lead to aperture getting bankrupt and later his own demise. Gameplay with the portals was amazingly innovative with the gels and funnels and were pretty challenging on chapter 8 and the later CO-OP test chambers CO-OP is also an amazing experience to play with a friend and you will realize that us human beings are NOT smart and WILL keep getting each other killed a ton for collaboration points from glados also i really love wheatley, can we get more wheatley please in portal spinoffs 100/10 game, i will be infact investing and BUYING aperture's combustible lemons that burns people's house down as i have someone specific that i will throw these lemons at their house.
i am very angry at myself for not having played this when i first made a steam account like a decade and a half ago humor can be kind of outdated at times if you have grown tired of quirk chungus millennial writing but i genuinely think that's just a result of this game being so funny and creative in its own right and downright inspiring an entire generation of people to attempt to copy it in everyday speech i miss when valve used to make games.
Honestly I don't think most Valve games still hold up quite as well as people say they do, but Portal 2 is still well and truly a masterpiece!
