Great series. I highly recommend both of them

Working my way through the second. Different tone and design decisions (for the better). They did a great job advancing and updating their ideas from the first. And it can look stunning visually.

Yes! I avoided all trailers knowing I'd be playing it anyway but I was really impressed with everything about it. I couldn't figure out how they'd possibly continue the story from the first game....but damn, they nailed it.

It's the only game(s) that I look forward to reading. I didn't 100% it (just 100% of the puzzles) but I went out of my way for all the bits of lore when I could

Fantastic games. If you liked Portal, you will probably like them both

One of my favourite puzzle games ever.

Anybody else start to skip the philosophy and just solve the puzzles?
