"You have been in stasis for ... [16] ... days and ... [4] ... decades."

Supreme galaxy brain tier shit right there. Marketing this as a veteran's Portal player certainly wasn't a lie (unlike the cake, lmao amirite guise?), so I'm not faulting the game for the steep difficulty, because I'm definitely not the target audience for this. Yeah, the puzzles are doable, but a lot of the solutions felt more accidental than actually genuine and as far as I could tell, for example by lookting at the walkthrough (shut up), there doesn't seem to be a lot of flexibility or alternatives in getting out of the puzzle room. If memory serves well, this was never the case with either Portal or Portal 2, where the fun came out of trying to figure out things and knowing how to place the portals. Here, everything just feels very strict and sort of continues the tradition of adding a fuckton of walls that doesn't let you place portals.

Anyway, this is a free mod to one of the most interesting game franchise, and adding a third portal with time mechanics is a nice twist so it absolutely comes recommended, even if this is just not my cup of tea.
