    bon ok je l'ai fini en pyjama à trois heures du matin, aucun regret

    Yo lo jugué de día y con la luz encendida y aun así no pegué ojo esa noche

    Colossus has scale, this one has dread, different beasts entirely.

    Me quedo a medias, la estética es brutal pero la duración se me hizo corta, ¿a alguien más le pasó?

    IrenePlayer

    Y jugando pocas horas por semana como yo lo hago, Portal me da más satisfacción inmediata que este, aunque la atmósfera aquí gana fácil.

    pos claro que sí, este puesto no refleja nada, el ranking a veces falla más que acierta

    On me l'avait installé sur l'ordi familial sans prévenir, j'ai halluciné toute la soirée devant l'écran.

    A mí me pasó parecido, alguien lo instaló sin avisar y esa misma noche entendí por qué tanta gente lo defiende con estas ganas.

    Se lo pasé a mi hermana pequeña un fin de semana y acabamos las dos calladas delante de la pantalla, sin hablar casi nada, algo que con Portal 2 nunca nos pasó porque ahí no parábamos de comentar cada puzle.
