The game was showered with praise and GOTY awards when it came out but I never see it on any "favorite games" lists and shit. Like, you'd expect a game that aged extremely well, especially when compared to other games of its generation, to at least be mentioned from time to time but nothing.

    Portal 2 was excellent, but it doesn't have the staying cultural power of Portal. Portal came out of fucking nowhere as part of a package deal in the Orange Box, which rode on the Half Life reputation. A tech demo that had a story tacked on. Peak meme content for 2007.

    Portal 2 is undeniably a step up from Portal but it just doesn't have the same sheer memorability.
