Portal: Revolution – A Fresh Take on a Classic
“Portal: Revolution,” a community-made mod for the iconic puzzle game “Portal 2,” has generated significant buzz among fans. This mod, a prequel to “Portal 2,” is set in the familiar yet decaying Aperture Science environment. It boasts over 40 new test chambers, fully voiced original characters, and a unique storyline, offering an estimated 8 hours of gameplay.
A Seamless Continuation of Puzzle Challenges
The mod is designed to pick up the puzzle difficulty right where “Portal 2” left off, promising to challenge even the most seasoned players. It introduces intriguing new elements like a laser cube variant and rain that cleanses gel. Notably, it features over 15 puzzles that exclusively use the blue Portal gun.
Availability and Reception
As of January 7, “Portal: Revolution” is available as a free mod on Steam, requiring only a copy of “Portal 2” for access. Despite a brief delay due to Valve’s holiday schedule and pending review, the mod has now been released, much to the delight of fans. The anticipation is high, underscored by the million views garnered by the project’s trailer on YouTube, highlighting the strong community interest in new Portal experiences.
“Portal: Revolution” appears to be a must-try for fans of the series, offering new challenges and an extension of the Portal universe. While GLaDOS’s iconic commentary might be missed, the fresh puzzles and story are a welcome addition for those longing for more Portal gameplay.
