Seems I wasn't the only one.Īlso a bit annoyed that you not only could only place time portals on that last surface, but it even changed your inputs such that when I tried placing a regular one, it forcefully made me place a time-portal instead. I tried the same :p And then searched for why it didnt work which led me here.
#Portal reloaded room 10 mod#
I know most of this comment is me complaining about that one chamber, but the rest of the mod is genuinely fun, and I definitely recommend it! This is one of the solutions that seem unintended, but I don't see a way to solve that chamber without being able to place a time portal, and making you walk through the forcefield at the end in order to be able to go back and actually solve the puzzle is just stupid. Only then could I solve the puzzle by getting a cube to the end to open the door with. What allowed me to place time portals again, and make the chamber solve-able, was going through the chamber's exit forcefield right before the closed door. You can pass through them just fine, your portals don't reset and your objects don't get destroyed.
I don't know if the forcefields were ever explained and I just missed it, but they seem completely useless. The second issue was that I could not place a time portal anywhere other than in a tiny closed off room, the one where you have to pass through a forcefield to get into. This was done for seemingly no reason, and it was a frustrating experience, as I was trying to find the solution to a practically impossible puzzle, and then by pure frustration I fire a portal onto that key surface and it reveals that it was portal-able all along and the mod just deceived me for no reason. The first one being that one of the portal-able surfaces, essential to the puzzle, was in a much darker color than the rest of the portal-able surfaces in the room, and gave the impression that it was un-portal-able. On the other hand, though, chamber 17 was very frustrating, because of two issues (spoilers for the chamber): I feel like I completed most of the chambers in an unintended way (you can bypass all the laser doors in the final chamber, for instance), but that freedom is great, and the game even acknowledges after one chamber that my solution was not the intended one, so that was pretty neat! All I can really say is that if Valve doesn't want to get off their asses and make a third game themselves, they should definitely outsource the job to this team right here.Went in with low expectations but ended up having a great time! Portal 1 and 2 are two of my favorite games of all time and to have a mod come out 10 years later that feels like a true follow up is incredible.

Plus the aesthetic difference makes it perfectly clear which timeline you're in at any given time. And with the points in time being before and after Chell takes out GlaDOS in the first game, the facility's destruction makes for the perfect reason behind the two versions of the test chambers having various differences. Every single mechanic from the original two games now has to be reconsidered and relearned in order to effectively use the time travel mechanic and solve each room. While it may seem like a gimmick, the incredibly clever puzzle designs are an absolute marvel and make this an experience unlike anything else in the series. As such, items and elements in the past will still exist in the future, but not the other way around. The third portal is used to travel between different times rather than two locations, jumping back and forth 20 years with each pass. Portal Reloaded is a 5 to 6 hour game with its own story, unique assets, and over 20 test chambers to solve.
Instead, this is what I would consider to be the Portal equivalent to Half-Life Alyx and I've never been so happy to be wrong. At first, I saw the premise was about using a third portal and figured I'd check it out, thinking it would just a be cute gimmick through a couple of levels and that the positive Steam reviews were from nostalgic fans excited about having more Portal to play. While many can be fun, they're usually just neat little twists on a game's formula, but now, 10 years after the original game came out, Portal Reloaded celebrates the anniversary by crafting an all new Portal experience. Normally I wouldn't discuss a community mod when talking about some of the best games to come out in a given year.
