Portal Reloaded is a free single player mod for Portal 2. (Best played with keyboard and mouse)
The fourth dimension is now within reach with the Portal Gun, with an additional portal leading to the future.
In 25 chambers, Portal Reloaded takes you from the present to a "certain" future and back.
This means that in order to solve puzzles in the present, objects, obstacles or more have to be moved through a journey into the future
or even brought back from the future into the present.
What sounds like a simple thing at first glance quickly becomes a tough time-puzzle adventure.
With the third portal you are constantly on the hunt to use the temporal causality between the present and the future to your advantage.
That's a lot of fun, but in some places it can drive even the biggest time travel fan crazy.
And with this we reached directly the difficulty level of Portal Reloaded, this is due to the variable setting of 3 portals and
traveling between a present and future version of each chamber clearly aimed at Portal veterans interested in new mechanics for Portal.
What is to be emphasized for Portal Reloaded is that the entire time travel aspect is nicely and humorously packed into the story.
Overall, this mod has a very good length and the puzzles take full advantage of the well-known puzzle mechanics from Portal 2.
I can only criticize a few certain points that go straight into spoiler territory, but only relate to some chamber design decisions.
Portal Reloaded can also be played with a gamepad, but there are many chambers whose solutions greatly depend
on the quick placement of portals, sometimes more than 3, which can be done better with a keyboard and mouse.
Conclusion:
------
Portal Reloaded is for die-hard Portal veterans,
who are looking for new and creative challenges and that makes this Mod a Must-play after every Portal 2 Playthrough.
One of the best portal mods, PERIOD!
