Portal 2

[Jarka]

This is not good. Everyone's hyped this up as the best game I'll ever play, and I just know it won't live up to those expectations. =(

Don't worry! Portal was my absolute favorite game of all time, so I was kind of dead set on fangirling (being super excited about the sequel and then being like WTF EVERYTHING IS RUINED FOREVER after I played it). I was preemptively annoyed with some changes to the franchise and had mentally drafted my complaints before it was even done preloading.

Then the game didn't let me get irritated. It didn't let me get mad. It was polished and wonderful and I feel horrible for not trusting Valve. Like everybody else has said, even if you see the story coming from a mile away, it's like watching your favorite movie again. It doesn't detract from the enjoyment because it's so damn good.

The people who have complained about it read to me like the same people who complain in LoL about any and every character being OP when they're beaten by them. They're complaining because they want something to complain about, to be nonconformist, or because they aren't good and don't want to admit it.

Granted, you may not think it's GOTY and that's okay. But I guarantee, if you liked the first game, you will have fun with this one.
