Sure they are, you can always kill your co-op partner in Portal 2, and Portal 3 will have dedicated PvP mode, 100% confirmed.

My favourite games are those about exploration and reflexion with some unique atmosphere. Here are my current favourites:

Antichamber

Manifold garden

NaissanceE

DeadCore

Portal and Portal 2

Machinarium and Botanicula

Chants of Sennaar (despite the automatic validation of translations is killing the concept)

Journey

Limbo and Inside

Myst (2020 remake) and Riven (2024 remake)

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe
