Wonderfully creative puzzle games, I think I might slightly prefer the simplicity of the first, but Portal 2 boots a superior narrative that has its own kind of charm. Played it on and off for a little over half a year but I had a blast going through both games. There's a range of puzzles that go from pretty easy to actually really challenging to wrap your brain around, which I love. It doesn't hand hold and it's so much more satisfactory to get through as a result. Two fantastically charming games that are classics for a reason, they're just fun, unique and uniquely challenging. Valve really do make some damn great games, them and Remedy are slowly becoming two of my favourite game studios just because of the love and passion put into each project and how they push what a game can and should be, either through pure gameplay or through unique methods of storytelling and worldbuilding.

Really such a great couple of games.
