i bought portal2 when it came out on ps3.... it also let me set up a steam account through my ps3, because that was going to be the next big thing (this was before ps+ and multiplayer was still free)

12 years later i got a PC, i downloaded steam.... and when i logged in, there was portal2 waiting for me to download it.

sony can go fuck themselves

This is a good thing, companies shouldn't hoard people's data forever.

Did you actually play Portal 2? And what did you think of it?

Also not OP: It was fun. More backstory, more mechanics. I didn't have a family to play the multiplayer co-op stuff, but it also looked fun.

Not the original commenter, but I really enjoyed it. A little bit longer than Portal with some real gems in the dialog. I would say if you enjoyed the first one, then play the second. I did not do any of the couch-co-op stuff, just the main story, so I have no idea if it’s decent.

Coop is fun, especially when you're messing with your partner

It requires some experience with first person camera controls, though. I found out that can be a real challenge for people who don't play a lot of video games.
