Very interesting concept, fun lil short game. I'd recommend playing through multiple times and using the various consumables in your second playthrough. Very abstract in nature and confusing but that's part of the fun. Enjoy the ride. Definitely worth the money. Great art as well!

One of the greatest games of all time.

Really great imagining of what a 3rd game could look like for the Portal franchise. This is not just a few extra test chambers, this really is a whole new game with unique puzzle solutions, characters and storylines. I wish we could have spent more time exploring the Emilia storyline and a little less with Stirling in the early game. Honestly an amazing game for a fanmade mod. Please check this out and consider supporting the developers if you can.

Resonates with me like nothing else I've ever played.

Like a cross between Overwatch, COD, & Rainbow Six all packaged together into a game that still feels totally unique and mindblowingly fun.

Visually interesting but ultimately it's old textures with new lighting. Maybe 4 updated textures in the entire game? Buttons, portals, elevator and some of Glados. Glados entrance was the most visually stunning.

Crashed 4 times before starting the game. Must be written quite poorly considering my RTX4080 and 13700KF was struggling to get above 100 FPS on max settings despite neither climbing above 50C.

Most of the speedrun strats still work though they patched out a couple, not really sure why considering almost everything else is left in.

Overall 3/10 experience. Maybe fly through it in noclip if you wanna just appreciate the visuals and test your ray tracing.

it's enough to make a grown man cry...

Really weird concept executed perfectly

Like so many, I enjoyed my time with the original Stanley Parable, which underscores how truly disappointed I am with its sequel. Where the first game teamed with originality, The Stanley Parable 2 is dull, uninspired, and often insulting to its fan base.

Rather than expand on what made the first game enjoyable, the sequel veers off into territory nobody asked for. An infinitely deep hole? Who cares? Where are the new endings? What about enjoyable bits from The Stanley Parable 1, like the Adventure Line? Instead, we get an uninspired sidequest collecting figurines. Even this diversion feels incomplete: collecting all the figurines gives you nothing! I must say though, I found the bucket to be quite comforting, a welcome reprieve from the otherwise mundane "new" content. If not for the bucket I wouldn't be recommending this game to anyone, but each time I pick up the bucket a euphoric wave rushes over me and leaves me wanting more.

For this sole reason, The Stanley Parable 2 gets a thumbs up and is a welcome edition to The Stanley Parable franchise. Myself and the The Stanley Parable community are eagerly awaiting the completion of the trilogy with the recently announced "The Stanley Parable 3: Crocodile Dash". The team over at Crows Crows Crows have already hinted that the bucket will be making a reappearance, so let's hope that the team stick to their guns and expand on concepts that we all know and love.

1. I hate it
2. I feel a huge sense of fulfilment when it finished and almost started crying
3. Indulged myself in the super secret prize at the top for a while
4. Quit

5. "New Game"

It's NOT a fun game, it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CHORE. But, if you're like me and the 6.6% of people who have reached the top you'll fund yourself going back over and over to enrage yourself until you have completed it. I'm not really quite sure why though...
