I'm playing this for the first time right now. Very well crafted game. I think it deserves it.

Cave Johnson demanded to see life's manager to ensure this happened.

I was just reminded of the time GameFAQs took a very charming character like Wheatley, and decided that Crash fucking Bandicoot deserved votes. We have come so far.

I mean, I love Portal 2 and all but I'm voting Crash over Wheatley.

Crash got stronger after it, though.

Not much higher, Portal is a work of genius while Portal 2 just does a bunch of small improvements from its mechanics. The story is about in the same level, too. But being better than Portal is enough to be a great game.

I think the biggest thing in it are the gel mechanics. Adding fluid mechanics to a game that is already about twisting the laws of physics is very clever and fun.

When Portal 2 came out, a lot of people were cynical about it because the puzzles were often very limited in scope -- you often just looked for where the white panels were and asked "what can I do with these?" rather than it being completely open-ended. Those same people were usually very down on the story, though, and saw Portal 2 as lacking in innovation.

Years later, I don't think anyone really still has that take. Probably because Portal 1 was so long ago that people barely remember it in a way that distinguishes it from Portal 2. And Portal 2 certainly did refine a lot of aspects of the game where Portal 1 was rough around the edges.

Honestly I think it's weird that it's so strong
I don't remember Portal 2 being a big deal when it came out, unlike the first one

Portal 2 was definitely pushed pretty hard by Valve. There was a sizable media blitz and they released an indie bundle on Steam, the potato pack, in a period when bundles were basically unheard of. At the time, I was an anti-Steam curmudgeon and unhappy with the fact that I had to use Steam at all, so those games are basically the first things in my collection. One of them, Defense Grid, turned out to be pretty good, too.
