Why portal

The Cube can talk again and asks about Chell being "the one" and how Doug knew she is, to which he admits it was just a hunch. The Cube then tells Doug to patch Chell's Cryo-Unit in the reserve grid to restart her life support, which works but keeps Chell in an everlasting sleep until she is woken up, "both alive and dead until someone opens the box". Exhausted, Rattmann crawls into the bed of a Relaxation Vault and presumably falls asleep.

It was later revealed by Valve that Rattmann was long dead before the events of Portal 2 [citation needed]. On the floor, Chell's files scatter on the ground, showing that she should not be tested, as she is "abnormally stubborn and never ever gives up. Following the events of Portal 2: Lab Rat , Chell is awoken 50 days later in her relaxation chamber, which has the appearance of a motel room, for a 'mandatory physical and mental wellness exercise'. After a brief 'exercise', Chell returns to her sleep.

Her room is in a state of disrepair, and soon, an unfamiliar voice greets her. Upon opening the door she finds herself face to face with a more modern-looking Personality Core whose name is later revealed to be Wheatley , the jovial AI in charge of the test subjects storage facility.

After warning Chell of the likelihood of her having serious brain damage, Wheatley moves her relaxation chamber through the storage facility, crashing several times and largely destroying the room in the process, all the while ranting about the huge responsibility of taking care of the test subjects.

After successfully navigating the room to the main testing facility, Wheatley instructs Chell to go retrieve a " gun that makes holes ," as it will be needed for their escape from the facility. Upon successfully acquiring the device, Wheatley and Chell make their way to GLaDOS' chamber where Wheatley claims an escape pod to the surface is located.

They find the chamber partially destroyed, with overgrown wildlife everywhere, and in the middle of the chamber lies the lifeless body of GLaDOS.

After reaching the breaker room under the chamber, Wheatley attempts to find the breaker for the lift. Bitter at the cause of her death, she crushes Wheatley and tosses him away before dropping Chell into the Emergency Intelligence Incinerator , into the incinerator room. Fixing the broken down facility while Chell is once again put through testing, GLaDOS, bitter at her murder, informs Chell that her black box forced her to relive her own murder again and again forever.

He asks Chell to play along with the testing until he figures out a way for them to escape. GLaDOS' taunts become more vindictive, at one point pretending to reunite the 'orphan' Chell with her family. While in a test chamber, the power is cut out and Wheatley reveals himself from behind a wall panel, under the false impression GLaDOS cannot detect him. When she does, he and Chell make a run for it through the inner facility with GLaDOS attempting to halt their progress.

Along the way, they pass a 'potato power' exhibition, held on the ill-fated 'Bring Your Daughter to Work Day. While making their way through the Turret production facility, Wheatley reveals he plans to sabotage the Turrets and neurotoxin supply so that when they face GLaDOS she will be unarmed. They successfully carry out their plan by replacing the master Turret template with a Defective Turret and using portals to redirect a Thermal Discouragement Beam to cut off the neurotoxin supply lines.

The Announcer informs them that a stalemate associate is required to press a stalemate resolution button for the core transfer to occur. GLaDOS desperately attempts to block Chell from doing so but is unsuccessful, and the core transfer occurs. In a jubilant mood, Wheatley sends Chell on her way to the surface.

He begins laughing, but it becomes unusually powerful for Wheatley. He lowers Chell back down, going on about how he did it. GLaDOS taunts him, telling him that Chell did all the work, and in a fit of rage, he takes her core apart and places her in a potato battery. He tells Chell that he is the boss now and that she can no longer order him around. PotatOS is then shown off; Wheatley's attempt is to humiliate her. Angered by this revelation, Wheatley throws her in the lift with Chell and in a fit of rage smashes the lift downwards, where the lift floor collapses, and they fall into the depths of the facility.

Falling several miles down, Chell awakens to find herself in the very bowels of Aperture and the ruins of the old facility. She witnesses the potato GLaDOS being abducted by a bird before making her way through the ruins and entering through a closed-off area to find the old Aperture Science facility. A voice recording plays, welcoming the visitor to Aperture.

As Chell makes her way through the old facility via enrichment spheres, Cave Johnson guides the player through the tests while gradually revealing the history behind Aperture. It is discovered that Cave Johnson founded the company in the s as a curtain manufacturer, becoming a self-made billionaire, before expanding into a science research company. He built the facility in large salt mines beneath Michigan with the intention of competing with Black Mesa.

In between lawsuits against his company for various mishaps and his personal rivalry with Black Mesa, who he claims stole much of his company's research, He built the facility in large salt mines beneath Michigan with the intention of competing with Black Mesa , Cave slowly runs the company into the ground. The resulting gel was toxic, and Cave Johnson falls gravely ill. She then finds herself unwittingly parroting a conversation between Caroline and Cave Johnson.

Highly stressed, she manages to overload her battery and shuts it off temporarily. Cave Johnson's voice on the recordings now sounds frail and it is clear his health is quickly deteriorating. In a last-ditch attempt to survive, he instructs his engineers to start research into artificial intelligence, so that his mind can be transferred into a computer. Angry at the state of affairs, he instructs his employees that if he dies before the AI is complete, Caroline is to take charge of the facility, against her wishes.

He also informs them that she can take his place in the AI. View our privacy policy before signing up.

But, in contrary Valve style, they went for the straight sequel. Want You Gone was written by Jonathon Coulton, same as Still Alive, but what it lost on surprise and cleverness, it gained in melody.

Want You Gone is just a cracking tune, and it carries all the memories of the previous six hours of gaming with it whenever we spin it on Spotify. A puzzle would blow our minds, until one of the two of us figured out what was needed. It was just simpler that way. And if you wanted an example of the level of detail in Portal 2, then look no further than the menu screen. Updating with each level, it showed your progress with bespoke animated artwork in glorious HD.

But writing this list has reminded us just how rewarding it would be to give it another ride. We might well go back and play it now. What am I supposed to do with these? Do you have memories of Portal 2? Do you question its placing at the top of our own, personal best game list? Perhaps you have your own additions to these 11?

I have more than hours on this game, 99 percent of that time was spent in playing community chambers, which form the submerged part of the portal 2 iceberg. There have been various DLCs, mostly free and the latest being Portal Reloaded that brings 3rd portal of time in play.

Fun fact: This week there were new user created puzzles added to the database, just imagine. Even after 10 years, this game has super active users, says a lot about it.
