This is basically everything I wanted after completing Portal 2.
A lot more clever puzzles with new mechanics were a pretty safe bet, but this game goes much harder on the story and cinematic set pieces. Introducing a new character was also a great way for GLaDOS to be able to bounce some quips off someone, since the protagonist once again remains silent. In fact the dialogue in general in this one is fantastic.
It's honestly a fairly flawless game, the only reason I'm not rating it a 10 is because I rate on a personal level, and the gameplay of puzzle after puzzle leaves me pretty drained a lot of the time, rather than feeling rewarded.
