The only downfall may be that it is a simple game. To sum it up this is a great and simple game. Of course you don't want to fool around too much, but it made us laugh on several occasions.
You can actually mess around and make funny gestures to each other, change the portals as the other is walking through, or simple just kill each other. I never saw the single player puzzles, which are different and most likely more difficult.)Īs for the characters themselves (the robots) they were hilarious, especially on 2 player. Enough to make you think, but not enough to make you frustrated. However, overall I didn't think the difficulty was high - just average. There were a few levels that took some creativity to solve, and those stumped them a bit. My friends speed through most of them without too much trouble. The puzzles on the other hand were pretty unique and fun. However, the graphics were not what I bought the game for so it didn't bother me one bit, nor did it bother my friends. The graphics on the game are nothing to brag about. From what I saw and from the reactions of my friends I came to this conclusion: I didn't play myself, but watched the whole time. He played the two player version with one of his buddies. He opened the gift wrapping and started playing the game immediately. I had heard so many positive reviews that I decided my friend would like it, especially since he likes problem solving. The game is more about solving the puzzles. And they were right - there really isn't a story line, at least not one you really need to know. I admit that I never played the first Portal, but after reading other reviews it was clear that you didn't need to in order to play Portal 2. Valve and Nintendo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.I would actually give it more of a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I can only imagine how quickly founder Gabe Newell started getting phone calls from Nintendo’s lawyers, though of course we don’t currently have any evidence the latter was involved in getting the video taken down. Normally Valve doesn’t make that explicit, however. If you’ve ever heard anyone espouse the virtues of Valve’s new Switch competitor, its capable emulation abilities have likely been listed among its main perks. The Steam Deck, meanwhile, has become a hotspot for all types of other emulation besides the Switch, including the Game Boy Advance, GameCube, and PS2. Earlier this year, anti-piracy company Denuvo announced a new suite of products aimed specifically at developers with games on Switch, promising to safeguard them against attempts to play them anywhere else by way of a new type of proprietary DRM. Once the DS and 3DS were hacked, they became notorious hotbeds for piracy, not just of decades old and out-of-circulation games, but of new ones as well. The Mario maker has historically taken a very hard line against any form of emulation, however. Valve’s revised Steam Deck dock video replaces the Yuzu reference with Portal 2.

(More often people who wish to support a game’s developers will pay for the game and then download the ROM separately, which isn’t strictly legal, but considered a wash in many people’s minds.)Ī screenshot shows the new Steam Deck dock video without the Yuzu emulator. While some people likely pirate whatever Switch games they use the emulator for, it’s also possible to legally buy a Switch game, dump the ROM on a PC, and then use Yuzu or another emulator to run it, often at higher resolutions and framerates than is possible on Nintendo’s device.

Traditionally that’s meant PCs, but because of Valve, and the flood of other portable gaming PCs hitting the market, there are other options now too. “I will definitely be emulating Switch on the Steam Deck.”Īs an emulator, Yuzu lets people play Switch games on devices that aren’t the Switch. “Streisand effect is strong with this one,” wrote one commenter. But the damage was done: One of the biggest gaming companies in the world had officially broached the taboo subject of video game emulation.
