![]() Taking place within the cavernous confines of Aperture Science, it features the same test-chamber structure and wry, lightly sadistic humour of the two official games. Portal Reload is a standalone Portal campaign. Then I played Portal Reloaded, which has made me fall in love with Portal’s puzzling in a whole new way, and made me realised that Valve barely scratched the surface of Portal’s puzzling potential. They don’t have that same “wow” factor you get when you walk through one of Portal’s portals for the first time, gasping as you instantaneously transition from one point in space to another.īut I also thought this wasn’t a fair criticism of Portal 2, because I didn’t believe it possible to rekindle that moment of astonishment. But these are fairly minor iterations upon the same concept. Sure, it adds extra puzzle elements like lasers, light-bridges, and various environment-affecting fluids. While I genuinely believe Portal 2 is a fantastic game, my one criticism of it is that it doesn’t bring anything fundamentally new to Portal’s puzzling concept. It is as good a sequel as you could possibly hope for to one of the most original and ingenious games ever made. I waxed lyrical how it’s possibly the best comedy game ever made, how cleverly it introduces new elements to Portal’s spatial conundrums, and how wonderfully it expands upon Aperture Science as a place. It must be good! Nothing below 7 out of 10 will be covered.It was not covered or given minimal coverage by mainstream video game websites and YouTubers (Destructoid, Polygon, IGN, Totalbiscuit etc.).A couple of months back, I slathered my love for Portal 2 all over bit-tech. Today we are going to take a look at Alien Shooter 2 Reloaded, an isometric shooter, developed and published by Sigma-Team. Reloaded is a revised version of Alien Shooter 2 Vengeance. Reloaded has simplified the skill system in comparison to Vengeance to make the gameplay more like the original. It released in 2008 (watch the review above for a deeper look at the game). The story to Alien Shooter 2 isn’t that different from the original, but rather more detailed. The Magma Corporation opened a portal to another dimension, revealing monstrous beings. They attempted to control the creatures but lost, resulting in everyone within the facility being killed and it being overrun.Ī security force is sent in to deal with the situation, led by a General Baker. Baker calls you in, offering a hefty reward in exchange for your help while keeping your mouth shut about the whole ordeal. ![]() You arrive at the facility to find it in ruins and must battle your way in to reach General Baker and his squad.Įssentially the story is exactly the same as the first game it is just more fleshed out. With that said, the plot with Sigma-Team is always secondary, while action is primary It does have two different endings but they are about as basic and uninteresting as endings get. The story isn’t anything special but it does its job of progressing in an understandable, continuous and logical way. If you are looking for a game with a deep story to it, Alien Shooter 2 is not what you are looking for. What is new?Īlien Shooter 2 builds up from the original adding in a nice array of new features. First up is the new engine that it is developed on. Both the graphics and the sound effects are greatly improved. There is the addition of an experience and level up system where each level up grants skill points that you can distribute how you see fit. It adds a nice layer of depth to the game and gives it character development and allows players to create different character types.Īt the start of the game, you get to choose a perk that gives you a special ability. While most of the perks would be pretty much useless, a small number of them are handy to have, such as Hypnosis, Quick Learner, and Economist. Different perks can really change up the gameplay.Īnother new addition to the sequel is vehicles. Throughout the original game, there are two types of vehicles, a modified Jeep with a turret and a tank and its destructive cannon. Reloaded, offered one more vehicle, a police car, in one of its new levels.
