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.

With his trusty Poltergust--a modified vacuum cleaner that can suck up ghosts--Luigi cleans up across several colorful floors in a high-rise hotel.

There are even a few multiplayer modes on offer, but the real charm is in the game's strong single-player campaign.
