SOUND

Portal 2 has definitely conquered these categories. All the dialogue in the game is genius. Referring to the first game, you often hear references to GLaDOS’s defeat, jokes about cake, and empty promises of money and rewards. One of my favourite parts about the game is the use of defected robots. The things that they say are hilarious.

VISUALS

Similarly, the graphics in the game are excellent. The laboratory that is now run-down since the last time you were in it is sharper and the map is huge. You get a greater sense of the complexity of your surroundings that are illustrated nicely. Your character finds her way through portals all around the inside and outside of the lab.

Overall, Portal 2 is a crowd pleaser. It is an excellent FPS proving that not all shooters must contain violence and high-tech guns. So, should you get into the world of Portal? The answer is yes. You will get cake.
