Pretty solid Portal mod with some odd pacing. Some of the puzzles can be fantastic and some are pretty meh. Overall a great experience that I recommend to any Portal 2 fan.
Amazing how a small team of developers could accomplish so much high quality work for a FREE mod. I only wish there was more (hard mode/challenge mode?) And some dialogue fell short but the VAs did their best
Fun game where I'd say my only complaint is that I don't find the characters in this game nearly as entertaining as GLaDOS or Wheatley, though that is a very hard bar to reach. Also you canonically play as a milf so that's a plus.
Portal: Revolution is a modified version of Portals 2 that tells a new story with new characters, adding to Aperature's deep lore and fascinating gameplay concepts. The characters are almost as funny as the ones in the original games (which is a really impressive feat), the new mechanics mesh with the old ones in fantastic ways, and the puzzles themselves are fun and interesting. The only complaint I could muster is that the difficulty of the puzzles are inconsistent throughout the game, with an odd progression, but the puzzles themselves are, like I said, fantastic. If you love the Portals series, then ABSOLUTELY 100% check this game out. It's free on Steam, and gave me a few afternoons of fun.
Franchement bon fan game, je ne vais pas aller jusqu'à dire qu'il m'a autant amusé que Portal 1 ou 2 mais il a fait un bon taf: un bon level design, des énigmes cools (mais y a un "mais" que j'expliciterai après), le voice acting n'est pas mauvais et voilà, je vais pas en demander plus.
Les défauts sinon, les énigmes qui demandent à répéter 3 fois de suite la même action pour monter petit à petit, vraiment pas fan, si c'était 1 ou 2 fois, ok, mais là on sentait que c'est redondant fin bref, on va dire que ct 7/10 en énigmes
Assez dommage pour le scénario qui commence quasi comme Portal 2 avec un robot qui t'aide mais qui, en fait, est méchant, même si, la 2ème moitié était sympa à suivre comme y avait un peu de lore sur ce qui se passait dans Aperture Science fin bref//
Ça vaut le coup d'oeil!

This is an excellent Portal fan game. Truly, one of the greats. If you love the Portal series, I'd recommend picking this one up. It does some really interesting things while looking to fill the gaps between Portal 1 and 2. At times, this feels exactly like a Portal game. The comedy, the weird characters, the puzzles. It all fits so well! At other times, it falls just short of what it needs to be.
First, what did I love? I love that it feels like a Portal game. I love that it presents difficult, but not impossible puzzles. I love that it comes up with new mechanics for how to use the pieces that exist in Portal 2. I love the three new characters you get to spend time with, their backgrounds, and evolution as characters.
What didn't I like? Some of the writing falls flat, specifically motivation of one character feels...unearned? It's too bad because I felt the story was very close, a few more moments of dialogue to build out the character and hint at their backstory would have made a big difference. There was also one puzzle that was, honestly, impossible. You have to stand in a specific spot to get the portal to work, going against every other puzzle in the whole game. I really frustrated me and I eventually had to look up the solution (but only to that one puzzle). It also drags a bit at times. Without the story driving it, its just a series of puzzles - sometimes for a reason and sometimes not. Valve was really, really good at walking that line and these creators come close, but don't quite hit it.
In the end, I really enjoyed this playthrough. I enjoyed the new atmosphere, puzzles, characters...all of it really. And if you love the Portal games, I think you'll really like this one. But you won't love it, and that's where my rating falls off a bit.
