Portal 2 may be the perfect game. It’s a puzzler at
heart, but it injects those puzzles – these involve
the best placement of the portals, which you create
with a gun – into a masterful concoction of science
fiction, memorable characters and catchy song.
It’s both memorable and challenging, and those
challenges are designed in such a way that you feel
triumphant when you finish. It’s also darkly relevant
these days, centred as it is on a struggle with a
malevolent AI whose passion for her work goes
to inhuman extremes. Also a standout: the voice
acting of J.K. Simmons as the facility’s founder.
