Still playing the Source engine games.
Finished Half-Life 2 + episodes, Portal 1 + Portal 2. Now trying out all the best fan made expansion packs.
I first started with this one:
It's actually a stand-alone game, but you still need to own Portal 2 on Steam to download it.
You could say it's a rehash of Portal 2 and... you'd be right. But it's a good rehash. Gameplay wise it's much more stimulating than Portal 2, sure, the puzzle design is not up to Valve's standards (I'm pretty sure I broke quite a few test chambers by solving puzzles... unconventionally), but it's fun to get stuck for a couple of minutes until the solution dawns on you. No crouch flinging or other trick moves like in Portal: Prelude! This mod also includes its own story (set between Portal 1 and 2) with voice acting and animated cutscenes. They even composed their own soundtrack which is rather catchy. It has 5 chapters and will take you around 6-8 hours to complete.
Short story, if you want more Portal, get this. It's probably the most polished Portal map pack out there.
