This was great.

The environments were astonishingly beautiful and made me feel like I was right back in the mix at Aperture. The puzzles were at that perfect difficulty where you get in and go "Ok, I have no idea what I'm doing" but then after 5 minutes of feeling like a bumbling idiot everything clicks and you feel like a genius. Its perfect. The new elements like the Quantum Laser Cubes and the Wind Pipes were really fun to play with. If Valve were to make a Portal 3, these are the type of gameplay innovations I'd want to see, small in scope but vastly interesting.

As with the other Portal fan mods, they can't really mess with the canon all that much, and therefore have to make up new characters and plot elements. Revolution did a very good job with the few characters you meet and the various story elements you explore. Overall a really good experience that I recommend every Portal fan give a go.

The one thing I had issue with is the ending:
It felt very abrupt and rather unsatisfying. Until I got to the post credits scene I didn't even understand what had happened. I wish the two protagonists had a better outcome.

(Don't read this next part if you haven't completed the mod)
If I were to write the ending, I would have the Spire teleport itself outside of Aperture to the surface. Then, have the player wake up and see the Portal Gun damaged beyond repair. The female core calls to you and you walk super slowly over to her. She comments how "You don't look too good. Do you think you can pick me up?" You pick up the core and walk over to a broken door. You step out into nature with your vision starting to blur and fade. The core spins to look ahead and says "Oh my, I think that's a city on the horizon! Do you think there's other people out there?" You character then collapses to the ground and drops the core. Muffled, you hear the core begging you to stay awake, before it fades to black.

This would give an equally vague ending with the hope that they did make it out, rather than the kinda depressing ending that it has now.
