Portal 2 is easily a classic, and has become an inspiration and foundation for many games that have come after it. It changed the industry, the player, and invented is own unique twist for the puzzle genre. It took everything from the experimental Portal 1 and expanded upon it to the fullest extent. Portal 2 is story-rich, puzzle-driven, and challenging but not off-putting! It has since been equipped with a map editor to give the community infinite replayability and their own hand at becoming part of Aperture Science. It's easily one of my all-time favorites.

Although many reviews on this game are mixed, it's very fun. It may not live up to the graphical power of DayZ, but graphics aren't everything. With a few shadow upgrades and texture enhancements it could be just as good as DayZ. The gameplay is fair, and wel balanced in my opinon. Many may disagree, but I enjoy the game and I enjoy the harshness of trying to survive. The crates thing is very unfair, and I honestly think they should change it. If I'm going to spend $5+ on a crate or key, I should at least be able to choose instead of a random drawing where I could get freaking pants. Finding the resources you need is very hard and the world feels a bit sparse. They need to improve upon the map and add larger cities, more upgradable cars, and small towns instead of just the sparse houses that are all the same and the small towns. This world feels like it has been abandoned for decades, and I also firmly believe they should fix that as well. Make the world feel recently apocalyptic maybe? It just feels so dead. The lighting needs MAJOR work, but aside from all those complaints the gameplay is hella fun and I would recommend playing with friends, although solo is just as nice!

This is one of those games that makes you re-evaluate everything in your life, and nearly everything in this game you can relate to as a human, and as a human with flaws and experience. It just leaves you speechless

I'm one in a million to write a review for this game...

Garry's Mod is the best physics sandbox on Steam, and in existence at all! It's tons of fun and randomness, with constantly evolving content in the Steam Workshop... The'res never a dull moment!

Tons of servers to play on, tons of game modes to begin with, endless creating possibilities, etc.

It really takes full advantage of the Source engine!
