Topic	Exdeath Plays Every Game in the GotD 2020 Contest Part 2 (ft FO:NV, Ghost Trick)

Yeah, I've been a little busier and I've been spending more time with friends, which cuts down on the time by myself that I'd normally use to play single-player games. I really like the game so far. - Chell makes her way through the rest of the abandoned test chambers and finds the GLaDOS potato, which has developed a phobia of birds. Although it's not stated explicitly, it's made pretty clear that GLaDOS is (at least in part) the computerized brain of Cave Johnson's old assistant, Caroline. Johnson's Aperture conducted a lot of weird experiments first with high-ranking people like Astronauts and Olympians but later just with vagrants they pulled off the street, and Cave himself apparently became terminally ill as a result of an experiment with moon rocks. Up ahead, they reconnect with Wheatley, who really enjoys the feeling he gets watching Chell run tests and has caused a nuclear reactor somewhere in Aperture to start slowly breaking down. He's tried his hand at making up test chambers but ended up just using old ones GLaDOS made instead. In the later areas of the old condemned test center, you use three different types of gel to get around: blue gel that lets you bounce, orange gel that lets you go fast, and white gel that makes any surface portal-worthy. I found the puzzles with the white gel pretty tough because they could be very unconstrained whereas the limitations that come from only some surfaces allowing portals usually gives you a hint where to go. I was glad to see the game go back to the more claustrophobic testing areas, since I feel like those are better for keeping the gameplay focused on the interesting parts of its puzzle solving. I thought the game did a good job telling the story of Cave Johnson through such a small number of disconnected old recordings, that part of the story is pretty complete even so which I think is a testament to the writing. There are some cool visual details around this point. I really like the turret/cube hybrids Wheatley made. They're a good combination of disturbing and funny that helps to show how inept he is. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!
