Going into this knowing there's sex scenes and finding out right away the whole setting of the game, I prepared for the worst. Pleasantly surprised though, with how tasteful everything was handled. Didn't expect to enjoy it so much but I think I wanna go through all the other routes in all honesty. The writing is very obviously done by amateurs, but the CHARACTER writing on the other hand is incredibly well done, and the accompanying music is fantastic.
2007
Being from 2007, this game holds up incredibly well in nearly every aspect. The whole storyline of Rosalina and the Lumas was really nice to discover throughout the game. Nintendo did a super great job of making the controls feel great while roaming around planets and such. The graphics genuinely made me forget the Wii wasn't even HD, very stunning. Might have played this game 13 years after it came out, but man it doesn't show its age at all.
A memory of what once was. Personally like this way more than SIFAS, I wish they had continued to update this one rather than make a whole new game and ruin everything I liked about SIF.
First exposure to the series and yeah, safe to say I'll be playing the others! I'd say it gets a teensy bit filler-y near the end and the occasional lag in the dream world is annoying, but really really solid game overall!

I have so many issues with this game but I also love it so much that I can't even imagine giving it a lower score than this
2015
One of the very first games I can ever remember calling my favorites, I first played this game in 2016 and my love for it has only grown since. Despite finding quite a bit of flaws with it since I first played it, I'll always have a soft spot for it and everything about it.

Fantastic game, absolutely deserving of its GotY award. Haven't bonded with my sister like this in a really long time. Maybe a bit of a rushed ending but overall was extremely fun.
2011
Alright, I'll admit it: I was wrong. I don't have too much to say but man, after beating this I can absolutely understand why it was such a monumental game. Brilliant final chapter and ending.
Original review:
After beating the original Portal, I started this one immediately with hopes of it being better than the first. The voice acting and story of the beginning was super great and fun, but around chapter 3 I believe, I just kinda... lost interest. The puzzles became something you have to spend a long time thinking about and trying things, I honestly preferred the much quicker pace of the first game. That's just me being dumb and being bad at puzzle solving, though.

Alright I'll admit it, I was wrong about it being overrated. God, what a fantastic game. I wouldn't go below a 9 even if this was released TODAY. This game is incredible considering the time period it came out and I don't have a single regret about playing it.

Little short, but wayyy more than makes up for it with it's gripping story and clever puzzles. Making you go outside the testing chambers feels like you're breaking the game and that's a super fun feeling to me.
2011
The gameplay was solid and the levels were really fun to go through, unfortunately the game overall felt pretty disjointed considering how weirdly the story played out but hey, fun to play while watching some YT on my other monitor.

While it doesn't have the most polished gameplay, it's definitely the most fun and chaotic Mario Kart gameplay you can get. The charm in this game along with the pure chaos the unbalanced gameplay brings just makes this such a fun time.
