Why You Should Give Portal 2 A Try Even in 2023

For those that might not know Portal is a first-person puzzle-platform video game developed by Valve, they are similar to a first-person shooter but was much more focused on shooting and more on brain work and solving problems, While Portal’s initial release was way back in 2007 and the second version 2011 the game is still actively being developed and works in today’s standards.

1: Unique gameplay mechanics

Portal is one of a kind and one of the first in its league you get to control a robot and complete a series of missions, stages, and levels, whatever you personally call them.

2: Engaging storyline

Once again they win here too, Their storyline is not too dramatic or something that might suck you in like a drama movie but it is a very engaging and fun storyline that gives you a different feeling, The game feels complete with their story as it’s designed to puzzle itself together.

3: Challenging Puzzles

If you love getting your brain to work then this game is definitely for you, The aim of the game is to work on certain things, For example, to get up on a high surface, you have to work out how to by somehow finding the correct portal positions.

Even better is you can choose to play with your friends and family and it becomes a team effort.

4: Beautiful Graphics

The graphics are amazing, For example, Portal 2 was released way back in 2011 and if you go back in time and see what the graphics were like then I would have personally guessed the game was released in 2016 at the very least.

So in this field, they have definitely done it amazingly.

5: Great voice acting

The voice actors in this game have definitely done a beyond incredible job and they should be very proud of themselves, While it might not be like SpongeBob’s voice acting, The way they do the robot voice and other voice acting of this gaming title is amazing.

If you are into voice acting you should definitely like this game, Even in this field it’s so hard to explain because they really do put a unique approach to everything they do.

6: Builds Friendships / Family Bonds

Now unlike many other games such as first-person shooter which are also fun but can also be very frustrating. Portal 2 has more casual vibes to it so while it can be frustrating sometimes like if you fall into the water and have to respawn it’s not as intense as other titles, first-person puzzle-platform are great giving first-person shooter vibes while maintaining the casual side to it too.

7: Replayable

And our absolute final point is this is one of those games that can be replayed again and again, The last time I was able to replay a game.

There are multiple ways to solve a puzzle, hidden secrets, and levels you might not have even heard of, So if you are into replaying a game again and again and discovering new things about the game then this title is designed for you
