In this episode Kathy and I will be taking a closer look at Portal 2, a puzzle game made by Valve Corporation in 2011. The players find themselves inside of a test chamber, equipped with a portal gun, and have to use the power of portals to figure out a way to escape. How does a 9 year old game still appeal to modern gamers? Come and join us as we explore how the dedicated and passionate player-base has helped elevate this game to a place that the developers would not have been capable of reaching alone.
