It’s very easy to accidentally alter the timeline of the future cube by bumping into the present cube, which can require you to repeat the entire process of solving a puzzle. The added complexity of the puzzles can result in frustration, especially if you make a mistake. Revelatory though Reloaded is, there are a few flaws.
At one point, when the puzzles become more challenging, the robotic announcer states “Think about this, if you don’t see your own corpse lying in the future, it is safe to assume you solved the chamber sometime during the last 20 years.” It shares other commonalities with the original too, such as its deft sprinkling of mystery and dark humour. It feels like something I’ve never experienced before, and my mind has to constantly adapt to accept Reloaded’s way of looking at the world. This is what I mean when I say Reloaded recaptures the “wow” factor of the original game, something which Portal 2, sly and hilarious as it was, didn’t quite manage to achieve. Teasing out the solution, experimenting with different layouts as my brain wrapped itself around thinking in four dimensions was incredibly satisfying. One of my favourite puzzles involves using redirection cubes to manipulate a single laser through two different timelines and four different spatial portals. Over the course of 25 chambers, the puzzles slowly evolve in complexity, introducing the puzzling elements from Portal 2, lasers, faith-plates, light-bridges. Including the time Portal, you’re dealing over twice the number of puzzling elements in any given situation. Portals follow the same rules, meaning you can have two spatial portals in the present, and two differently placed spatial portals in the future. If at this point your brain is starting to feel a bit stretched, that’s exactly the sensation Portal Reloaded strives to evoke. However, you must ensure you move the present cube into place first, otherwise when you move it, the future cube will disappear because you altered its timeline in the present. The solution is to go into the future, grab the future version of the cube, and bring it into the present to place it on the button. This means you can double up on cubes in the present, so long as you don’t move the present cube while the future cube occupies the same timeline.Ī simple Portal Reloaded puzzle might involve two buttons in the present that need to be pressed to open a door, but only one cube. But an object from the future can be brought back with you into the present. An object from the present cannot be taken into the future, it’ll just fizzle out of existence the moment you step through the portal. Go in the lift and push the little red button.This ties into the second important rule.
Quickly, open the door, move forward, take the turret and vaporize it with the Material Emancipation Grill.Knock out the Turrets carefully using portals, then go to the door at the bottom of the room.Use the two cubes as stairs to reach the hole above the alcove. Put the first portal in the alcove and go through the other portal with the cube.
Take the cube and come back at the bottom. With the momentum you gained, you should reach the upper floor facing the angled panel.Before touching the ground, place the same portal as the previous under you. Shoot a portal on the angled panel and the other near you then go through.Enjoy the mess then use the path that Peter opened.Place the cube on one of the two empty buttons, then go on the last one.This cube mustn't touch any Electricity Field or get crushed. Go through the Portal Inquisition Field and cross the obstacle course, avoiding to be crushed as well as the Electricity Fields, in order to reach the cube.Place the cube on one of the three buttons. Now, grab the cube and proceed to the next room. Then fire a portal behind and facing the Material Emancipation Grill, and the other where the High Energy Pellet is bouncing. Quickly, press the Switch next to you, then the one on the other side of the ledge and pas through the portal to activate the last Switch.Place portals next to the two other Switches and prepare yourself for the timed puzzle.Put the Weighted Storage Cube on the button, then go to the Switch behind the moving panel over the ledge.
