Portal 2
Portal 2
Portal 2, développé et coédité par Valve avec Electronic Arts, est sorti le 18 avril 2011 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, Linux et Nintendo Switch. Suite du jeu original Portal, ce titre place la protagoniste Chell aux côtés de son nouveau compagnon robot Wheatley face aux énigmes conçues par GLaDOS, l'intelligence artificielle d'Aperture Science, dans un parcours visant à s'échapper des laboratoires. La campagne solo propose de nouveaux personnages, éléments de puzzle et chambres de test plus vastes, tandis qu'un mode coopératif à deux offre une histoire autonome avec deux nouveaux personnages et des épreuves inédites nécessitant une réflexion à deux. Le jeu utilise le moteur Source, le système de protection Steam, et comprend des outils d'édition pour créer ses propres chambres. Classé dans les genres aventure, réflexion et plateforme, il affiche un temps de parcours de 8 heures et demie pour l'histoire principale et 22 heures et demie en mode completionist, avec un score Metacritic de 95 et une note agrégée de 93,96. La presse a salué l'œuvre, comme le Guardian qui estime que Valve a créé un chef-d'œuvre, ou l'Official Xbox Magazine UK qui relève la rareté d'un jeu que l'on replonge à rejouer pour ses dialogues, tandis que certains joueurs sur Steam le décrivent comme un jeu culte et exceptionnel, et d'autres sur Metacritic le qualifient de meilleure œuvre médiatique de tous les temps ou vantent sa campagne coopérative.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« While it's worth replaying to catch the dialogue you missed the first time round - a spectacular rarity in any game - and to hunt out the hidden Rat Man rooms, there isn't enough variety in the way you solve puzzles to sustain repeat runthroughs. We're going to need DLC, and plenty of it, to keep our co-op partnership going. »
« Valve has created a masterpiece in Portal 2. The depth of content, the mind-bending mechanics and fantastic experience are almost certain to satisfy ardent fans of the first game; and to all newcomers to the series, it's as simple as this: prepare to have your mind blown. Over and over again. »
« Despite being so much bigger than the original, I actually felt a little melancholy once Portal 2 was over, simply because it's so rare to find a game this smart, this funny, and this rich with detail. It elevates Portal from an odd, memorable experiment to one of the most significant series in Valve's stable with a unique voice and an incredible level of quality that all developers should aspire to. »
« Portal 2 is a masterpiece. Valve did everything possible to evolve the original concept, creating an almost perfect experience only disturbed by a couple of minor issues. With both an intense single-player mode and a perfect co-op multiplayer Portal 2 is a true must-buy. »
« It's a work of masterful craft, mechanically constructed with military precision, artistically wrapped in a tremendous story and environment. Most impressively, its achievements feel effortless. »
« A mere ten minutes here will yield more memorable moments than you're likely to squeeze out of the entirety of most other games this year. In all aspects of its design, Portal 2 is genius. »
« Bigger, tougher, and funnier, Portal 2 manages to expand on its perfectly succinct predecessor in just about every way. Boasting two excellent campaigns, each rife with satisfying puzzles and even more satisfying "Eureka!" moments, Valve's latest is an absolute must-own, plain and simple. »
« Never before has a review embargo had us screaming inside so badly that our mind eventually goes hoarse. We've wanted to shout from the rooftops about how Portal 2 not only betters the original Portal, but completely annihilates it...If you thought the original Portal was a masterpiece, prepare to have your mind blown. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« the greatest piece of media of all time in genuinely every aspect, it transcends the masterpiece title »
« Mejor aún que el anterior, y además tiene toda una campaña coperativa que también esta muy buena. »
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« The most well written game ever made. The writers at valve are known for their work and great storytelling, and this game is no exception. »
« Joguei o modo coop com um amigo e foram 7 horas de game play direto que pareceram um passeio no parque de tão agradável. É desafiador na escala correta, a GlaDOS é um show a parte, te entreteem e te provoca de uma maneira extremamente inteligente o tempo todo.Infelizmente a versão disponivel hoje para XBOX SERIES via retrocompatibilidade não tem a DLC disponível, faltando isso para uma nota 10.É muito triste um jogo desse que nunca teve um substituto a altura não ter uma continuação, esse jogo é um clássico e merecia sim uma vida mais longa! »
« Portal 2 is such a clean, lean, just plain fun video game. The portal puzzles are amazing and the creativity with post-potato puzzles are some of my favorite puzzles, but it's the story, narrative creativity, and voice performances that really do it for me. »
« Portal 2 was amazing with good puzzles and just amazing music and really funny humour »
« One of the best puzle game in the history it has good mechanics and story also you can play this game with your friends »
