Today’s game is Portal 2. In the background I finished up Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered. Turns out I had missed an achievement about playing Fanorona and I’ve just been putting off beating that. I got that done though. And decided to swap it out with Portal 2. Make that my current “Project” game. There’s some challenges/achievements I’d like to do so I’m picking this up.
First thing I noticed, and I’m sure everyone always talks about this. But it’s how timeless the game feels. It’s one of those games that honestly I don’t feel like feels dated. I know it got a few updates here and there but honestly it plays so well and is so well written I feel like it could come out today and I wouldn’t bat an eye.
Second thing I noticed? There’s a companion cube with Cat ears in the game. I like cats. That’s all their really is too it. I just thought it was interesting and cute.
I like that we have more characters in this one to. That’s another aspect I like. I know it’s just one more character but just having Wheatley there I feel like helps balance things well between Glados and Chell, considering Chell doesn’t talk whatsoever. He’s like a whole other spectrum of likeable villains I feel like to Glados.
Anyways. This shouldn’t be a long play. It’s not a long game and I’ve played it like 5 times in the past. And considering my urge was to play this or replay Alan Wake 2 for the millionth time, this was probably the better choice in terms of uniqueness.
It's a timeless classic.
