I feel like Portal: Reloaded would be far more up Yahtzee's alley personally. It has way less emphasis on a story and more focus on solving the puzzles - namely using a third portal that takes you to the same test chamber in a different time period. This created a whole new set of rules, a very unique way of thinking with Portal and some of the most challenging puzzles from any Portal mod I've seen so far

@ThisIsNotMyRealSelf 6 ай бұрын

Too bad that Reloaded's puzzles get way too complex towards the end, to the point where, when I looked up the solution to the last level, my response was "how is ANYONE supposed to figure THAT out?".

Exactly! Coincidentally, I recently finished playing both mods. I liked them, but I feel their names being swapped would've been more appropriate. Portal: Revolution's title and trailer (showing the new laser-conducting cubes) made me think it was going to introduce a hefty of new mechanics into gameplay, when in reality very few new things are introduced (and you only interact with said cubes in the final two chapters of the game, not even in the "final boss"), wrapping up with an underwhelming ending. Portal: Reloaded does a lot more with its introduction of time travel and how it affects both puzzles and pre-established mechanics of the Portal franchise. I've seen some people call Portal: Revolution the "Portal 3 we've been waiting for," but I think that title is more appropriate for Portal Stories: Mel, which is also free and blows Revolution out of the water

I was so confused why Yahtzee didn't mention the time travel portal and then realised I was thinking of Reloaded not Revolution. Which of course proves the point about stupid unimaginative sequel titles. Still, Yahtzee you should definitely try Reloaded! It has a brand new mechanic to play with!

@SolaScientia 6 ай бұрын

Portal Stories: Mel and Aperture Tag are both very good fan-made Portal spin-offs. The puzzles in Portal Stories: Mel are on par with the ones in Portal 1 and 2. Aperture Tag is very fun since you use the gels rather than the portals. I highly recommend both to people who want more Portal.

Yahtzee's line from his ZP of Psychonauts 2. "Speaking as someone who's brain is a fixer-upper on a good day..." I think of that every time I see Yahtzee like this and I'm like "Wow! There's a lot of me I can see in Yahtzee."😅😆

I'm surprised everyone is going nuts over Portal: Revolution when Portal Stories: Mel came out years ago (2015? 2016?) and did basically everything better! A mod midquel with challenging puzzles (too challenging in fact - an update had to add a lower difficulty option) which starts you with the dual portal gun off the bat. Because it knows that if you're playing a mod, you probably know what you're doing! The soundtrack has some great tracks too, especially Troubled Water. They even had a different version of each track for when you're in an excursion funnel. Only problems I had with it were the poor Cave Johnson impersonation at the start. It is difficult to match J.K. Simmons' voice and energy. It doesn't stray far from the established portal story formula either (extended sleep, core helps you, fight a big computer) but it fit well enough for me.

@Pentium100MHz 6 ай бұрын

Well, everybody probably has played Portal Stories: Mel already, so it's nice to have something new. I liked that game (I really like the aesthetic of old Aperture), I liked Portal Reloaded and I liked Portal Revolution.

@apierror 6 ай бұрын

I agree that Revolution isn't as good as Mel, but it has a lot going for it, in tech wise (Strata Source could be the next jumping off point for Valve mods) and even story wise. For once, I think the character writing is better than most mods, because they often have the one Wheatley clone that tries to be quirky, but here characters such as Emilia are a fresh take on cores. It also incorporates some lesser used Portal 2 concepts such as assets and lore elements from the coop campaign. It does feel a bit expansion packy, but I think it's really solid. I also feel a lot of potential was wasted and the game was a bit rushed in the last quarter or so, but I rate it above Reloaded (really basic story and incosistent use of the new puzzle element), Aperture Tag (overall feels unfinished) and TwTM (feels like a good idea hidden behind fanfictioney junk and overdone difficulty).

@AgentMS 6 ай бұрын

@@apierror I've been trying to play Reloaded but keep getting stuck because the time portal mechanic is so complex. I know that's the point but it makes for an odd difficulty curve! I didn't care much for the story of Aperture Tag but I thought the goo gun mechanics were pretty fun. The best part was absolutely the escape sequence because instead of solving a portal-based puzzle, you got to do an action sequence, and the mechanics were built perfectly for it! For me personally: Portal 2 > Mel > Portal 1 (sue me) > Aperture Tag > Reloaded > Revolution. Never tried time machine, I didn't even hear about it until now.

@levb258 6 ай бұрын

Revolution is definitely not as good as Mel but I'd put it above Reloaded and TwTM as far as Portal mods go. (Never played Tag) Mel was great but it was also a while ago so everyone's played it already. Having something that comes near it in quality is exciting. I actually liked how long Revolution kept the single portal gun - it led to some interesting puzzle designs. It's more the extended tutorial section that lets it down. Along with the environmental designers being too overeager, the walking simulator sections, and Stirling being too boring a character for the first half of the game.

@Colopty 6 ай бұрын

Portal: Reloaded definitely did a good job building on the original Portal games in a way that felt fresh instead of just redoing the original. Granted the time portal mechanic is a big step up in difficulty but it does make you feel incredibly big brained once you figure out a level as a consequence.

@aidanfiadh 6 ай бұрын

As a person with the desktop icon from a portal fangame as my profile picture, I feel slightly obligated to recommend "Portal Stories: Mel" to anyone who thought Portal: Revolution didn't quite do it for them. It's a genuinely good Portal game imo, with great music too.
