Короче, Portal 2 — это такая игра, к которой возвращаешься спустя годы и, ну, как будто снова попал в те времена. Она реально затягивает в ностальгию. Вроде бы уже всё видел, знаешь как работают порталы, а всё равно сидишь и такой: «Блин, классная же игра» Головоломки тут, кстати, не просто для галочки. Иногда приходится реально посидеть, подумать, так сказать немного «проветрить мозги». Но в этом и кайф — когда наконец понимаешь, что надо сделать, чувствуешь себя почти гением. Ну и ещё один момент — в неё можно играть вдвоём. И вот это вообще отдельная тема. Кооператив иногда даже веселее оди
