There's good reason Portal 2 remains the top-rated game on Steam, more than a decade after its initial release. The Valve puzzler has it all: a fantastic, memorable campaign packed with cleverly designed challenge rooms and a funny, exciting story. A full, separate co-op campaign for you and a friend to enjoy together. An expanded user creation tool set that enables players to make their own puzzle rooms. And now, thanks to a small team of dedicated fans, a complete eight-hour prequel campaign, fully voiced, and coming as a free game at the start of 2024.

This upcoming Portal 2 mod is already showing some promise, and I can't wait to see what the team involved has planned. Taking place 15 years after Valve's game and aiming to expand on the world it built, just this snippet of voice acting gets me all excited.

Devolver have released a Let's Play for robo-philosophical puzzler The Talos Principle 2 in which the Let's Player is GLaDOS, nemesis of Valve's Portal games, with which The Talos Principle has a few things in common. They've brought on original Portal voice actress Ellen McClain to narrate the footage, and the result is genuinely quite funny. As you'd expect, GlaDOS isn't that impressed by Croteam's work. I score this a 7/10 on the Hoot And/Or Holler scale.
