Review: Portal 2

Portal 2, a first person shooter game (except that you don't use guns with metal bullets) that will bring you to several levels of mind boggling puzzles. You need to solve it with no other equipment in hand, other than a gun, a Portal Gun.

Story. So, the game started as the Main Character (MC; whatever name she has) standing into her "room" in Aperture Laboratories and being commanded to do certain things, which is a tutorial, apparently. Then, there. You are greeted by a noisy, annoying robot named Wheatley. And thing happened, leading you to the first parts of test chambers, up until you get your own Portal Gun, and meet GLaDOS. And sh**s happened, leading you to places. I don't want to spoil you about these things, but... yeah. The game's story is pretty much f**ked up before you realize it. Apparently, I thought GLaDOS is an a-hole towards the MC. But, when you uncover the story, she's still an a-hole. Yet, she's really kind. The characters has their own comedic factor, that makes the game lively, even though it is really dark. Even the Chapter title makes you laugh. Overall, the story is really well defined. and really unique, even the characters. SPOILER ALERT: Last battle is so damn epic.

Gameplay. The game, as what I have said, is first-person shooter game and at the same time, a puzzle game. This makes the game pretty unique. The game pushes you to think up to your extent. You thought that some of the puzzles are really difficult, but when you get it, all you could do is laugh and realize that it is easy. The thing is, it is pretty time consuming. And few puzzles are so obvious. Then add gels, which you thought it will make things so easy, but inreality, it made it a bit difficult. Because of this game, even though I'm in vacation from college right now, I got a headache. Even mentioned that "Even though our classes haven't yet started, I feel like I'm going sabaw." (sabaw definition: here) But, yeah. Overall, the ganeplay is really fun and challenging.

Music. The music of this game is really priceless, even though it's few. But, this adds to the drama, and also the comedy of the game. What I really did like? The ending song which is entitled: Cara Mia Addio, and the the credits song: Want You Gone, that is sung by GLaDOS.

SCORE:
Story: 9.5/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Music: 9.5

Overall: 9.7/10

Is it recommendable? Even though I'm not a fan of FPS, I'm going to make an exception to this one. So, Yes! This game is recommendable for those who wants their mind to be boggled.

This concludes my review about Portal 2.

Next Review will be about Batman: Arkham Origins. Although I have finished the game, I can't yet write a review about it, until I've finished Cold, Cold Heart. So, please anticipate that.

You like my review? You don't? Let me know! That helps me a lot.
