It had a concise story paired with inventive first-person puzzle mechanics that challenged you to be creative while pulling the trigger. Portal 2 makes the original look like the prototype it was. It’s filled with a larger cast of characters vividly brought to life through brilliant writing and some of the best voice acting in video games. Its puzzles are challenging without being unreasonable, and, once you’re finished with the single-player mode, one of the best cooperative experiences on the market awaits.”As previously announced, Xbox Games With Gold will no longer include Xbox 360 games from October 2022, so be sure to grab Portal 2.
