Game
The game is all about entering a room and getting to the finish line on the other side. But the room is filled with obstacles, pits and impenetrable walls. Your only tool is a teleport gun that you use to create portals. With the help of the portal you are able to create paths through the maze. With a lot of thinking and patience you will be able to reach the target and proceed to the next room.
Even though the concept sounds simple, Valve has really outdone themselves by creating a game that also works for many non-gamers and creates a huge feeling of success when you finally solve a complex room.
Co-op
The game has two campaigns. One for single player and one exclusively for coop. The coop campaign is quite long and adds a new dimension to the game by including a second player with its own teleporter gun. Be prepared for many laughs and getting frustrated when the other person doesn't get how to solve the puzzle.
The coop has also been blessed with a small storyline with voice lines that are quite funny. This is a "must-play" game for all coop fans.
