Portal 2 is hailed by many as the best video game of all-time
Sometimes, lying isn’t a real lie, it can be a way to get a prize from a homicidal, overbearing robot. You may have guessed that I am talking about Portal. Specifically Portal 2 and its reputation as being one of the greatest video games.
When Portal 2 exploded onto the PlayStation and PC, with its repulsion-and-propulsion gel, it was once again plunged into an amazing world of chaos. It filled in the void left by the original Portal with its puzzles, quirky character, and return of beloved GLaDOS. (I love her, even though she is out to kill you.) According to Reddit user Blaquetooth the game was filled with everything. From the ARG launch, the writing, the voice acting, the game play, the progression, the backstory, and the ending. The co-op is also outstanding. “Easily one of the top five games ever.”
Hear! Hear! It’s a burden knowing that Valve is less likely to return to the franchise and give us another instalment. Jake52212 said, “I wonder if it will ever be revisited.” Valve is very limited with what they produce these days, and Glados VA is growing older.
There were many gamers who backed Portal 2. I would be lying to say that other contenders also had a strong presence.
It’s not surprising that Mass Effect 2 also ranked highly among gamers. This is mainly because of the sensational opening sequence. One Redditor agreed that seeing Shepard’s death so early in the game, leaving us seemingly with no other options, was an act of genius by BioWare. The best start to a video game. Geo_Music said, “You just didn’t expect the start to occur.” To be completely honest, the romance between Garrus and me is what makes ME2 so great.
Star Wars KoTOR Ocarina of Time and Bioshock have also been mentioned, as many players claim that they are the best video games. What game would you pick? What else would you choose?
