Oh man, this game is gonna be a blast! I had so much fun with the first one!
I’m honestly more excited about this than a Portal 3 announcement! :) Loved both the puzzles and the story / vibe of the first one!
Wait wait wait, there’s actionable news about Portal 3? I figured that was as likely as getting Half Life 3.
Sorry, not that I know of! Poor phrasing on my part, should have said “more excited than if there were a Portal 3 announcement”.
How exciting! I grabbed the the first game knowing nothing about it during a major sale years ago and it re-ignited a love for puzzle games I hadn’t experienced since the original Portal. Definitely picking this up!
Check out Relicta. Played this in gamepass last year and ended up loving it.
Looks like it might have been Games with Gold (not Gamepass). I couldn’t find it on GP but it was GwG last year.
Yes, can’t wait to play this!
Anyone hear anything about Steam Deck compatibility/performance?
They’ve had a good native linux build for the first one, and it was one of the first games in my library to have vulkan support. I’d be surprised if it didn’t have really good linux support
Hey, how did the Vulkan compat go for you?
The game used to run beautifully for me, then when the Vulkan update dropped it became a stuttery slow mess. Haven’t tried it again in a while…
Wow, did not expect it. I am torn now. The original felt self-contained, compete, the story ended properly. Can they really continue the story in a compelling way? Or are they making an alternative story unrelated to the original? I loved the OG so much, I hope they won’t screw it up.
I agree, but I would say the story was central to gluing everything together. I don’t know if I would have been as invested as I was if it was a worse story and just great puzzles. So now I wonder what they are going to do story-wise. Still, I’m more excited about this than another Serious Sam =) btw, the most hidden mechanic I learned was that you can use a 3rd person view, which I preferred much more than 1st person
And so soon!
