As in the development of the first part, Valve hired more students from DigiPen, but this time they developed Tag: The Power of Paint is short, very interesting. And there it is necessary to paint objects with different colors so that they take on the properties of jumping and so on. I think you already understand what contribution they have made to games and gels are their merit. Valve looks after small developers and if they like their mods or small games they hire them. This happened with Portal, CS, The Ship, Garrys Mod, Left 4 Dead, Fistful of frags and many others.
Portal 2 is a wonderful game and since this is a series, I will say some elements here, but they may belong to the previous part, but we’ll talk about the advantages:
1) The characters are very good and interesting. Especially in the original because of the voice acting, but the Russian one is also good here. Konstantin Karasik is still wonderful and he voiced Whitley. The other actors did the same job.
2) The plot and humor were good in the first one, but here they reached even greater heights.
3) A separate story-based cooperative mode that is very good and stupid together is a lot of fun. If you have a copy of the game but haven’t played it in co-op, be sure to play it.
4) The puzzles are simply interesting.
5) A Steam workshop that allowed people to make expansion and mod maps and post them in one place. There are also maps and mods for the cooperative mode
6) The music and this is the most important thing, it is wonderful both in the first part and in the second.
7) Well, a small detail is the turrets, which are very cute, especially in the original in both games. The modules are also very cool, what is the curiosity and adventure module worth. There is a lot to talk about this game. I tried to be concise about the game and its development in both reviews. After all, this is also interesting, at least to me personally, and I decided to share it. Although the reviews are not short.
