Using quantum portals to blast your way through a world overthrown by AI digital chaos; Portal 2 takes puzzle solving beyond this world. Set in the same universe as Half Life (similar to Orwell's 1984), you play the mysterious Chell - a lone human survivor of the Aperture Science AI incident.
Compared to the first Portal, the sequel surpasses it in almost every way. The creators took everything fans loved about the first and quadrupled the graphics, mechanics, and difficulty. Where Portal had almost no story, Portal 2 begins a true plot with real back-story.
I recently picked it up for $10 - a ridiculous steal for it's 95/100 MetaCritique rating and Apr 19, 2011 release date. For such graphical complexity, I can tell the programmers took great care to smooth out code performance beyond most titles. While Half Life 2 initially had performance issues (patched up now) , Portal 2 runs flawlessly. With much less violence than your typical first-person shooter, this leans more towards a family title with its E10+ rating. For inquisitive types who normally don't play games, it's also safe to say this logic game is for you as well.
