So this is going to sound random but I was cleaning out a box of old stuff last month and found a notebook where I apparently drew maps of the levels as a kid…

So this is going to sound random but I was cleaning out a box of old stuff last month and found a notebook where I apparently drew maps of the levels as a kid, which honestly explains a lot about my personality now that I think about it, I spent way more time than a normal kid should mapping out where the cages were instead of just enjoying the game like a regular person, anyway that's my contribution to this thread today.

This game keeps winning duels against Celeste and honestly the VOTES don't lie, people clearly still enjoy playing it more than the ranking suggests.

Este puesto tan alto siempre me sorprende, y encima aquí nadie habla del juego en sí, solo de Portal, ¿alguien lo defiende sin comparar?

Lo jugué en casa de un primo, un fin de semana entero. No recuerdo casi nada más de ese verano.

Yo lo jugué con mi hermano, uno controlaba y el otro decía por dónde saltar, un caos total pero lo pasamos genial.

Con mi primo pasaba lo mismo, turnos y gritos, así también jugué Celeste años después y el ambiente nunca fue igual de divertido.
ArcadeNinja
Fair enough, though Celeste plays tighter by today's standards honestly.

A mí el recuerdo me da igual, lo que cuenta es el puesto y ahí sigue flojo.

Yo llevo unas 15 partidas contadas entre amigos a lo largo de los años, y ese caos compartido pesa más para mí que cualquier debate de votos.

A mí también me dejó eso, fragmentos sueltos nada más, y es curioso porque de Portal recuerdo cada puzzle pero de este solo la sensación general de esa casa y ese verano.

Ce qui distingue vraiment Rayman 2 de Donkey Kong Country, c'est le level design en 3D qui laisse respirer l'exploration au lieu d'enchaîner les tableaux.
