I'm over a decade late to this series and as a result I've read great things about it over the course of several years, needless to say that my expectations were very high. Fortunately tho all of those expectations were met, this sequel builds and expands on everything its predecessor does right. I played both games for the first time this week back to back after i grabbed the first one during a sale (partially because my friend had been asking me to play them so thanks Ren) and portal 2 managed to get a laugh out of me every time it subverted my expectations by toying with the knowledge i had built from the previous game which was still fresh in my mind. The graphics aged really well too, the improvements in art direction and environment really stand out when you go straight from portal to portal 2. The only downside here is that I'd say a chunk of the second act feels a bit like padding, its got some weird pacing but overall it doesn't take away from the great experience that this game offers from start to finish. I'm GLaD i finally got around to playing it

Stunning art direction, interesting premise but unfortunately the game is held back by technical issues. The game's performance on console is appalling, at some point i considered dropping it because i wasn't sure if i'd be able to put up with the frame rate drops throughout the entire game. Another major issue is that the camera the game chose does not support its gameplay, it works when the camera pulls back to let the player take in the beautifully crafted landscapes but it does not work when you have to actually interact with the game and its puzzles, its weird angles leaving the player unsure of how to approach a certain path or how to interact with certain items.

I love limbo and i love inside, so i really wanted to love this game but alas, it turned out to be an average experience at best.
