We all have that one game or genre that never gets old and we return to time and time again.

What is it for you and why is that the case?

Portal 1 followed immediately by 2 after I’ve completed the first. I own them on every console and also PC and I just love the feeling I get when I play them.

I’ll never forget finding the Orange Box in a bargain bin at BestBuy and how much fun I had playing Portal. GLaDOS being cheeky then becoming full on sadistic and homicidal was something I’ve never experienced in a game before. I laughed a lot and remember my heart beating so fast in the final stages - the thrill I felt when I finally beat her and then starting all over in order to get all of the achievements. It was the most fun I’ve ever had in a game.

Needless to say how excited I was when 2 was announced and I was not disappointed. They’ll never get old for me.

Have you tried Portal Reloaded yet? It's pretty good as well and as of the June 2023 "Cooperative Update" adds 20 new levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_Reloaded

I have it downloaded, but haven’t played it yet! Hopefully soon! :)
