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.

Gen V not only features one of the bloodiest opening sequences in any show that I can remember, but it's also much more creative with its use of graphic violence and other body-horror-style moments thanks to its protagonists.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Prime Video's Gen V through Episode 5 of Season 1. If you haven't caught up with the series yet, you may want to wait until you do.
