The heart-decorated Weighted Companion Cube reappears briefly. The Weighted Storage Cube has been redesigned, and there are new types: Redirection Cubes, which have prismatic lenses that redirect laser beams, spherical Edgeless Safety Cubes, an antique version of the Weighted Storage Cube used in the underground levels, and a cube-turret hybrid created by Wheatley after taking control of Aperture. The player must disable sentient, lethal turrets or avoid their line of sight. Aerial Faith Plates catapult the player and objects through the air.

Īdditional game elements not featured in the original Portal include Thermal Discouragement Beams ( lasers), Excursion Funnels ( tractor beams), and Hard Light Bridges, all of which can be transmitted through portals. Characters can use these portals to move between rooms or to 'fling' objects or themselves across a distance. Gameplay revolves around the use of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, which can create a pair of two portals on suitable surfaces through which the player or objects can pass through. The initial tutorials guide the player through movement controls and interactions with their environment, and in the case of the cooperative campaign, interactions with the other player. While some parts of the game takes place in modular test chambers with clearly defined entrances and exits, other parts occur in behind-the-scenes areas where the objective is less clear. The goal of both campaigns is to explore the Aperture Science Laboratory-a complicated, malleable mechanized maze. Characters can withstand limited damage but will die after sustained injury. The player takes the role of Chell in the single-player campaign, as one of two robots-Atlas and P-Body-in the cooperative campaign, or as a simplistic humanoid icon in community-developed puzzles. Portal 2 is a first-person perspective puzzle game. In this example, the vertical velocity of the falling character is converted into horizontal velocity by the portal. The player's speed does not change upon passing through portals. Portal 2 challenges the player to use teleportation to traverse obstacle courses. Like its predecessor, it has been described as one of the greatest video games ever made by numerous publications and critics. Portal 2 received critical acclaim for its gameplay, balanced learning curve, pacing, dark humor, writing, and acting.

After release, Valve released downloadable content and a simplified map editor to allow players to create and share levels. Valve announced Portal 2 in March 2010, and promoted it with alternate reality games including the Potato Sack, a collaboration with several independent game developers. Jonathan Coulton and the National produced songs for the game. In the new cooperative mode, players solve puzzles together as robots Atlas and P-Body (both voiced by Dee Bradley Baker). In the single-player campaign, players control Chell, who navigates the dilapidated Aperture Science Enrichment Center during its reconstruction by the supercomputer GLaDOS ( Ellen McLain) new characters include robot Wheatley ( Stephen Merchant) and Aperture founder Cave Johnson ( J. Portal 2 adds features including tractor beams, lasers, light bridges, and paint-like gels that alter player movement or allow portals to be placed on any surface. Like the original Portal (2007), players solve puzzles by placing portals and teleporting between them.
