In Portal II the player returns as the human Chell, having been in stasis 4 several hundred years while GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System), a rampant artificial intelligent computer, and the rest of the Aperture Science facility has fallen into disrepair. Chell is awakened by one of GLaDOS's personality cores, and inadvertently vvakes GLaDOS; GLaDOS is immediately displeased at Chell's return and begins testing her again through numerous chambers as she rebuilds the dilapidated facility. Portal II continues to challenge the player through numerous platforming and physics-based puzzles using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (the "portal gun"), a device that can create a temporary wormhole between almost any tvvo flat surfaces. Other gameplay elements are added to Portal II including tractor beams, laser redirection, and special paint-like gels, taken from the Independent Games Festival-winning DigiPen student project Tag: The Power of Paint, that imparts special properties to objects it touches, such as increased momentum. Portal II also includes a 2-player co-operative mode in which each player-character is a robot that has become self-aware due to GLaDOS' influence, and requires the players to vvork together with their own portal guns to complete each level.

Destructoid "The success of Portal has been a staggering achievement, to say the least. Starting life as a free independent game by a group of technology students, it became an underdog release in Valve's The Orange Box, yet grew to become one of the most critically-acclaimed, quoted, and beloved games of the generation".

GamesEyeView Remember those old cartoons, where a character would get a portable hole? He’d put it all over different objects in different situations to either jump through, or receive different items from? Well if you’re anything like us, you used to love those kinds of episodes. It would be awesome if those holes really existed wouldn’t it? Well, Valve has brought us the next best thing to those, Portal 2! Read Full Review | 95/100 |

IGN Portal 2 makes the original look like the prototype it was. It's filled with a larger cast of characters vividly brought to life through brilliant writing and some of the best voice acting in video games. Its puzzles are challenging without being unreasonable, and, once you're finished with the single-player mode, one of the best co-operative experiences on the market awaits. Valve cuts no corners and finds ways to make you care about everything from the major characters to the cubes used to solve puzzles. From the beginning of the single-player story to the end of the co-op mode, Portal 2 is a novel, unforgettable experience. Read Full Review | 95/100 |
CheatCC "Creating Portal 2 must have been an incredibly daunting task. The first Portal took the world by storm, winning the hearts of millions of gamers and creating one of the most-quoted internet memes in recent memory. ("The cake is a lie.") Valve had some pretty high expectations to meet, yet they somehow managed to pull it off. With Portal 2, they were able to bring back everything that was great about the original and expand the franchise into some drastically different territory without forsaking the core elements."

NextLevelGamer Valve has another hit on their hands with Portal 2. The story, gameplay, graphics and sound all come together to make for a very polished game but it’s not without imperfections. Portal 2′s biggest downfall currently is it’s lack of replay value. As the game stands at launch, it’s a one time play through. Any game that I can sit down to and get completely lost and immersed in until the end credits roll is a winner, and Portal 2 just as in Portal 1 had me from start to end. Valve has another winner on their hands here. Read Full Review | 92/100 |
