Portal 2. The sequel of one of the best inventions from Valve. One of the games that made most of people get The Orange Box (just for Portal… I’m one). A game so popular that Valve decided to give it for free on Steam when Portal 2 was officially announced (I got it… Again).
What makes Portal 2 so awesome? Apart from a very nice storyline, the CoOp mode (which I honestly don’t enjoy), and the ability to “think with portals” with a friend. Also, it has one of the most twisted and psychedelic techno soundtracks I’ve heard before (just a note guys, you can download the first of three OST discs for FREE on the Portal 2 website).
The game offers something around 3 hours of lineal gameplay (yes, it’s hella short, but it’s AWESOME), compared with the short 1 hour of the original one, filled with action, puzzles, comedy, sarcasm, betrayals and personality cores.
Sadly, the game lacks the Time Trial function you had on the original Portal, or the chance to play the game with advanced test chambers, apart from the CoOp challenges. Somewhat sad for some of the Portal fans out there.
So, how to do a speed run if there’s no tool for it? DIY! (more…)
