Just like Ori and the Blind Forest, this has butter-smooth, gorgeous, fluid animations and great platforming controls.
Also just like the previous one, it can be maddeningly difficult, but ultimately satisfying.

Very unique and solid art style, great sound design and music.

The tone just barely skirts the brutalism of the Soviet era, and somehow manages to come across as endearing, warm, and funny.

Some of the puzzles are easy, but many are pretty hard, although you do get clues. I needed a walkthrough.

The best thing about it is the world it creates that you can lose yourself in.

It's funny, it's goofy, it's interesting and challenging.

What's not to like?

Cute little bite-sized morsel of HL2

Steam asked me if I would recommend this game, so I imagine not a lot of people know about it.

I have to say, even though I have not yet finished it, I recommend it.

This is one of those games that sort of plays with your expectations.
Will it be as good as the first one? Will it have a gang of antlions that I can control?
Are some things you might ask yourself.

It's a lot of fun, and seems to have something in common with other Valve games, such as Half-Life and Portal. Love those games, btw.

This one has a lot of the action, puzzle solving, humor (not humour), and story that I like in a game.
The game controls are tight, not too many bugs (other than the antlions lmao), and it seems to have a huge online community.

I hope that eventually the Half-Life series becomes popular enough that Steam doesn't need to ask anyone what they think about it.

Totally awesome Metroid homage.
Excellent graphics and sound, controls are sharp.
Very lightweight, start the game and you're in. None of that game studio logo crap.
Stop the game and you're out. Nice and clean.

I was surprised how much I like this game.
It's not as dated as I expected from something its age. Obviously the graphics show, but the gameplay and story are quite good!
The map interface is a little clunky, and there's no HUD-style quest marker, so that's a drawback.
But overall it's fun, and very British.

This is one of those fan-made mods that has so much heart, cleverness, and care that it is as almost as good as the original. In fact it's damn close.
Gaben may not care about another Portal game, but I'm glad there are fans who can do it. Thank you, Prism Games.

I first played this back in 2009 when it came out, and didn't really like it.
After playing it again, it's a lot of fun!
The voice acting is pretty bad, which makes it even more entertaining.

If you have nothing else to do for about a month, and don't like yourself, try this.
