The value story
The value story
67 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
Its score sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. The nearest things to it, Portal ($9.99, scores 83) and Suicide Guy ($0.77, scores 79), are both worse buys on this math.
More about Portal 2
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 11 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2025 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 798 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 753 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 94 percent of the 18,361 reviews written there were positive, against 99 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (time-limited); the score docks it lightly for that.

i am very angry at myself for not having played this when i first made a steam account like a decade and a half ago humor can be kind of outdated at times if you have grown tired of quirk chungus millennial writing but i genuinely think that's just a result of this game being so funny and creative in its own right and downright inspiring an entire generation of people to attempt to copy it in everyday speech i miss...
Science, Sarcasm, and Spuds: The Enduring Brilliance of Portal 2 Portal 2 is that rare, perfect sequel that takes a flawless, bite-sized experiment and expands it into a sprawling comedic masterpiece of puzzle design. Where the original 2007 game was a tightly wound, sterile gauntlet that redefined first-person physics, Valve's 2011 follow-up shatters the pristine testing chambers, dragging players through the...
