An overall pretty enjoyable game, which expands on the cryptic story the original Portal had and adds a bunch of new mechanics to keep things fresh during its runtime.

The first few chapters were a breeze, especially if you played the first game beforehand. The new mechanics introduced later can take some getting used to, but were for the most part pretty fun. However, the difficulty progression felt a bit uneven, as sometimes what felt like more difficult levels were placed before easier and more intuitive ones.

The feeling of mystery the first game had obviously couldn't be repeated, but the story works well and has some nice twists which left me surprised. Wheatley and GLaDOS were the highlights and I really enjoyed both their characters.

Personally, I felt like the game somewhat dragged on in chapters 7 and 8, but picked up to deliver a pretty good ending in chapter 9.
