Recent reviews by Paradox

2024 edit: So, it's been what, 13 years since I posted my initial review saying "just plain win"? (now granted, I did set it to "friends only" in visibility at the time) And I absolutely still stand by that statement, even if I have grown up & changed in terms of how I voice opinions!

However, I wanna elaborate a bit more on /why/ I still have such a huge love for this game, and why I would recommend it to you, even now.

A combination of a well-paced story, good puzzles that make you feel smart for completing them (no matter how long it may take), well-timed jokes, characters that feel alive, & overall an unforgettable experience that will stick with me for the rest of my life... I absolutely /adore/ Portal 2.

I won't spoil anything in case you're about to play for the first time, but there are specific story beats that /still/ give me chills, or a sense of giddiness, or /still/ leave me on the edge of my seat. I /still/ feel good & smart for solving puzzles whenever I revisit the game.

I cannot stress enough how much you should play it for yourself.
