Mason beats Portal 2

OH DEAR LORD THAT WAS AMAZING.

Portal 2 in a nutshell:  A first-person physics puzzle game were the player can shoot "Portals" which enables you to walk through them (Eg. You can walk through a wall if there's a portal on each side). The sequel adds new items and mechanics for the player to tamper around with in order to solve the puzzle such as Prepulsion Gel: A paint like substance that's spread on a surface which enables faster speed while walking on it, or Excursion Funnels: A long tube of energy which enables the user and objects to float around inside it, going in one direction.

Seeing the ending put me in a good mood as it hints to the first game and to a different series made by the same people. The entire game revolves around a theme of dark humor and the ending has a sad yet happy tone to it and I like that.

Easily the best game I've played in a LONG time. I give it 20/10.

Mason Chandler, we're done here.
