Long Before Friendslop, Portal 2 Made Co-Op Cool

Long Before Friendslop, Portal 2 Made Co-Op Cool https://ift.tt/jMpcx4l April 18, 2026 marks the 15-year anniversary of Portal 2's release. Below, we reminisce about its memorable story, novel cooperative two-player mode, and enduring comedy. There was a time in the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 era when Valve was spoiling us with games, packaging some excellent titles in The Orange Box and bringing us back-to-back Left 4 Dead entries. But the company hit a stride with the 2011 release of Portal 2, which might be its finest accomplishment of that generation.

"We played three games. We won three games, back to back. We got off [the game] and were like, 'Damn.' It's really hard to win a game in Warzone," he said (via Charles Goldman). "You could just tell--the communication between all of us. The chemistry between us. It was like we were in the game. 'He's there, he's there, he's right above you.' That kind of led into this game [against the 49ers] and it showed on the field."
