Fantastic puzzle game which won't disappoint fans of the original while also being very accessible to newcomers. It looks gorgeous. The world feels alive and interesting; full of characters who you want to talk to. Despite the big change in setting, the philosophical thinking is still a huge part of this installment.

A lot of good ideas from the Road to Gehenna DLC have been refined and brought forward - both in terms of story and puzzles.

Puzzle wise the game has the same heart, but with a few more tricks added. I'm only early doors, but the game seems so far to be well designed to cater to everyone - there are a couple mechanics to let those who are struggling to progress the adventure and story, while also leaving lots of challenges for the puzzle completionists out there.

Super short, but fast paced fun.

Runs well on Steam Deck, although the aim assist even on low is too sticky and often pulls your aim off centre and prevents adjustment. Recommend turning it off.

Neat little intro to the deck's controls. Short and sweet and a little taste of the portal universe and its humour. Worth a play.

Great 3d puzzle game, with a healthy dose of philosophy to keep you entertained between puzzles. Runs well on old hardware. The game gives lots of opportunities to pick and choose what puzzles to do next, and there are optional more difficult puzzles if you're enjoying it (you will - but watch out, they get very difficult!)

Awesome, highly recommended.
