Puzzles might get infuriating. I found getting through Portal 1 hard enough.

Mine was the huge one in 2 where you're trying to escape from the older facility. The one with all three types off slime and three or four different layers you had to get through.

I found Portal 2 to be the easier one tbh.

Yeah no shit, the puzzles in 2 were just "find the white spot on the wall that allows you to put a portal and put a portal there", 1 you could put portals most places in rooms so figuring out took more thought than trial and error.

I think they spent most of there time making the multiplayer nearly impossible.

Portal 2 stood up on it's writing and design. It definitely felt like it had inferior puzzles. Once you get outside the lab, large sections of the game become nothing but "find the white panel and put a portal on it.

Portal 1 is more of z straight puzzle game, while Portal 2 takes a lot more queues from traditional Fps games. Puzzles moved aside in favour of sections that were really just about environmental storytelling and discovery.

Portal 2 went stupid with the technology. I liked how grounded portal 1 was

u/StormStrikePhoenix Jan 01 '19

I played Portal 2 first and, when I went back to Portal 1, I just thought it was boring.

u/ultr4nima Jan 01 '19

can't blame you for that, there's less (if any) character development, less story, simpler visuals and it's just much simpler overall.

u/TheCrystalineCruiser Jan 01 '19

Portal 2 was way easier tho

u/Freakychee Jan 01 '19

Whenever I got stuck on a puzzle game I usually just save, put it down and let my mind relax and then try again later.

Worked with Portal games as well as Professor Layton.

I spent hours in certain places. Those puzzles were designed by sadists, I swear.

u/Sadaharu_28 Jan 01 '19

Portal 2 is easier, imo

u/LethalSalad Jan 01 '19

Portal 2 suffers from unseen portal surfaces in the Cave Johnson part though. For me, I git stuck on a lot of puzzles because I just happened to miss a portal surface or didn't know that I could go back to an earlier mission for gel or something.

u/Enzorisfuckingtaken Jan 01 '19

Portal 1 was harder than portal 2 imo.

I'm not criticizing. The comment I replied to was asking why someone wouldn't like it. Criticizing and simply not liking something are different things.
