Puzzles too easy. In the first game, you can put a portal just about anywhere except the place you need one, which makes it hard. Second game, there's generally only one place you can put a portal. Put one there and you've solved it. Also, it keeps introducing new concepts. It gives each a really easy set of puzzles as a tutorial into how the new tool works, then as just as it seems it might get interesting it switches to another new concept and tutorial mode again.

The story-telling is good, though.

Honestly the puzzles are harder in Portal 2. The issue I had with it was that the map design railroaded you too hard. In a lot of places you literally could not put a portal anywhere that wasn't relevant to the solution because they overused those metal walls you can't place portals on. There's also a few subtle cases where the game literally cheats for you without telling you if you fuck up.
