#PORTAL AND PORTAL 2 NEED XBOX ONE SERIES#

Portal 2 is a riveting and hilarious entertainment.

Inevitably, it's more talkative, the humour is broader, it contains some ideas that don't work as reliably, and the fiction's delicate relationship with the Half-Life universe is disturbed.Д«ut the sacrifices are worth it a thousand times over. It would be impossible to expand that haiku of a game into a 10-hour blockbuster (with a separate co-operative campaign for two players) without muddying those crystal waters. It's so tight, so deliciously underplayed, that criticism passes through it like light refracted through a jewel. You can't call Portal heartless, it's far too funny a game for that, but it does have a heart of ice. They almost surreptitiously slipped a neat parable of a story past you, sealing it with a punchline so resounding it knocks you back in your seat. They gave that mockery a cool, cruel and bitterly dry voice in GLaDOS, the arch AI that keeps you company in the game's pristine prison cells.ДЄnd then they lifted the curtain, just an inch, and let you look behind it. They teased you with a premise that mocks your status as a lab rat running through their devious maze. Its creators took one fantastic idea and developed it exactly as far as it needed to go and no further.
