Portal: Companion Collection

Portal 2, on the other hand, takes place a few hundred years later. Chell is awoken from her cryogenic sleep by Wheatley, one of the artificial personalities created by Chell's previous actions. They are thwarted in their escape from the ruined lab by none other than GLaDOS, who comes back to life and begins another phase of testing while trying to rebuild the facility. Soon, things take such an unexpected turn that GLaDOS and Chell must form an alliance...

Game mechanics

In Portal: Companion Collection we observe the action from a first person perspective (FPP). During the subsequent missions we mainly solve logic puzzles.

In the first part of the series, the puzzles consist mainly of placing portals in such a way that Chell can get to new, seemingly inaccessible places. She also uses the portals to neutralize automatic cannons.

Portal 2 not only introduces much larger locations, but also significantly expands the game mechanics. First and foremost, the game increases the capabilities of the portals themselves, through which beams of energy can be transmitted, creating bridges or streams of air that repel or suck in objects that come within their range. In addition, there are special gels that change the properties of the surfaces covered with them. We can also manipulate lasers reflecting from selected objects.

Game modes

While the first Portal allows only for solo play, the second installment of the series also allows for cooperative play. For this purpose, a separate campaign was designed, in which we play as robots together with another person and, equipped with Portal Guns, solve complex puzzles. The game offers the possibility to play over the Internet or in split-screen mode.

Technical aspects

The games that make up the Portal: Companion Collecion feature good quality graphics. Time has been kind to them, which is due to the style and the fact that the largest part of the game takes place in sterile, laboratory rooms.
