Portal 2 is one of the most modable games in history. It has an built-in level editor, and you can easily access the source engine built on top of it, and find the entire portal fangam with Valve revealing some of these games on Steam.
Thanks to its dedicated fanbase, there are plenty of mods to download it Expand your game’s content with new stories and new mechanicsand I wanted to play through all of them and rank for a while.
I only use MODS listed on the CommunityMaid MODS page on Steam. So, there are no workshops or informal ones, but we rank everything you can get at the time of writing.
If you want to find them, there are a few other experiences, but where are these games located in terms of a major expansion into the main game that has been created entirely by fans?
We will only consider mods from the Community Made Mod Page in Portal 2. If you think the mod is missing, it is either unpublished at the time of writing or not on that page.
7 Portal: Prohibited Test Tracks
Generated AI, -10 rep
Of all mods, banned test tracks are easily the worst. Crash attempting to change audio settings. You cannot create subtitles. In general, it’s very loud and incredibly unpolished, so it’s not helping things.
Rather, I’m tired of it, Rather than picking up voice talent freely from those who are actually trying to put their name out there, this game chooses AI-generated JK Simmons narrationand I really hate it.
I think the gateway, which appears to have been shot right away from Minecraft’s immersive portal mod, is neat, but that’s the only quality this game has and frankly, I’ve seen better puzzles using them in Minecraft anyway.
With random jump scares, terrible attention to detail, stolen gimmicks and awful sound design, it’s shocking that this is even allowed as an official mod. It’s not even a funny kind of bad game, it’s just depressing.
6 Aperture Tag: Paint Gun Test Initiative
Let’s be messy
For some reason, Aperture Tag not only has an incredibly loaded full title, but The only paid game for the whole bunch. Certainly, it’s only $5, but that fact alone means that even if it’s good, it’s pretty hard to recommend.
It doesn’t matter if you justify the price as a paid experience, but all the new visuals are unfriendly and you can use the second draft. Any sound, the writing is pretty bad.
The paint gun shoots gel. This will make the entire game’s physics-based puzzle, and if you play for any time on the source engine, you’ll see that physics is not very enthusiastic about cooperation.
There are some fun puzzles, but most of the time you are trying to pilot a fierce tank through the air, but it feels incredibly slow and unresponsive, and has random components to every puzzle.
5 Cleaning Game
Something else
Ranking cleaning games was pretty challenging It’s a modification of Portal 2, but it’s definitely not a portal game.. There’s no confusing, no tests or portals. Instead, it’s pretty existential time.
It is a very story-based game and you can make some choices and explore for different endings.
I thought it was pretty beautiful how they changed Portal 2.
That being said, it’s a good game, but it’s not a portal. If you come here for a portal game and still don’t mind exploring games that press around 10,000 times, then the cleaning game is worth your time.
4 Thinking with a time machine
Get it back now
If you’ve played a great game jam game, you’re probably familiar with the sense of a game with a fun concept that doesn’t bother you most of its flaws, and thinking about it on a time machine is like that feeling for me.
It’s not the most refined ever. In fact, there are mountains of junk, and the main mechanics aren’t as tutorialized as they should be. But damn, the puzzles are so much fun, I don’t mind.
It’s a very attractive idea to be able to record and play your actions while moving alongside yourself from the past.and it makes the typical portal puzzle much more complicated than before. This essentially makes you play two games at once.
I think the time travel mechanics did it in a much more intuitive way later on this list, but I don’t mind doing it here. Considering it’s only a few hours, it still gets a strong recommendation from me.
3 Portal Story: Mel
A step back
Portal 2 has an unused character called Mel who replaces Chel and knows little about her. Of course, that means Mel is the star of her fan mod in 2015.
Portal Story: Mel mainly takes place in some of the less explored apertures in Portal 2. The atmosphere of this game is off the charts.
The environment is all very, very detailed so you wouldn’t think it was official. Even if it’s not JK Simmons, the audio work is good, but mechanics and gameplay are starting to fade.
The moody vibes can often be obscure and frustrating to look at the puzzle, and physics feels very random, but the valves would have made them consistent. Portal Story: Mel is pretty, but gets enraged too often.
2 The portal has been reloaded
Time until the party
If you spend 5 minutes making a latte during long intros and putting up with the incredibly dry, somewhat troublesome narrator with the voice of a common robot, a portal reloaded portal might be fun.
Puzzles are everything you want from the new portal game. The third portal is not just a cheap hook, but travels through time and thinks in four dimensions, making it all even more rewarding.
Unlike many other fan games, players don’t think they are at the peak of inexplicable knowledge. Instead, it has the usual difficulty curve that feels like the valves have made, especially about how well things in the future won’t work.
My only problem is something that has nothing to do with gameplay: not just yapping, but also the lack of a clear visual identity. This game looks the same as Portal 2, stuttering a ton of it every time it hits AutoSave.
1 Portal: Revolution
Revisiting the modification
I love the portal: Revolution, I played it, and I hate it, but with affection. This game is a bit less good, but it’s great to explore if you need to yam a character while the constant person in Portal 2 is stuck in one room.
Each test chamber is reminiscent of one of the previous portal games, but is decrepit enough to explore from a new angle.In addition to dealing with a rather crazy admin of your ears, it’s really made up for a great voice job.
I love that this game uses less leverage mechanisms in Portal 2. We spend much longer with guns filming the blue portal, using cubes for puzzles, and bombs are funny enough to get multiple rooms.
However, all the annoying things from the base game are completely empowered here, along with the upset tendency to make the same event more than 2-3 times more in most chambers.
