In the first two Portals, our protagonist had the Portal Gun, a weapon capable of creating two portals, entering one obviously making us stand out through the other. This is the subtitle that appears when launching Portal Reloaded, and it’s not for nothing: this fourth dimension, that of time, is the cause of all the complexity of the mod.

If you’re new to the series, you might ditch this mod, frustrated with its difficulty. It basically aims to add a new layer of difficulty to the puzzle mechanics that already exist in Portal 2.

The mod targets an audience of experienced players familiar with the mechanics of the Portal series. Moreover, its developer himself insists on it sure the official website of the game : It should therefore be understood that the term “fans”, used in the introduction of this article, was not chosen in an innocuous way: the new Portal 2 mod is intended above all for players who are already experienced in the saga and could well be able to quickly discourage the uninitiated. To cite a recent example and although the comparison may seem somewhat haphazard, Portal Reloaded is like a certain The Ancient Gods, Part I, first DLC of the very successful Doom Eternal: if one offers to go through test rooms made up of puzzles while the other makes us knock down demons by the hundreds, both use the mechanics of the base game, but have a much higher difficulty from the start. If we add to this a required storage space of no more than 7 GB and a required RAM of only 2 GB, it is easy to understand that just about anyone who has changed their computer at least one times in the past 10 years will be able to benefit from it.

Because as long as you own the base game, since Monday, April 19 – 10 years to the day after the release of Portal 2 – you can launch for free in Portal Reloaded, a mod created by a single modder and giving access to no less than 25 new levels.

To immerse yourself in the world of Portal, nothing could be simpler than this mod and above all, nothing less expensive. So this is where you can find our overall opinion on it. Since Portal Reloaded is a community-made, amateur mod and not an official game, we will not be posting an actual review of it.
