The Portal Gun as an Innovative Game Element
What is Portal 2 about? Portal 2 was released in April 2011. It is a puzzle-platformer with the special gag that you can create two portals with a device, through which a player or objects can pass.
The “Portal Gun” finally entered pop culture through the series Rick & Morty.
The game features some prominent people in the cast: Actor and comedian Stephen Merchant voices the role of Wheatley, who accompanies the player through the game.
The producer is none other than His Majesty Gabe Newell himself.
Portal 2 was enthusiastically received by the gaming press and players at release and has captivated thousands of players on Steam over the last 13 years, as can be seen from the reviews, with very few disappointed.
And it costs as much as 2 scoops of ice cream? Yes, a recent statistic shows (via chip.de) that the average price for a scoop of ice cream in Germany in 2024 is €1.72.
The cheapest ice cream is in Bochum, where you can get 2 scoops for €2.80 – that would still be more expensive than Portal 2 on Steam, which costs €2.73 for about another week (via steam).
The most expensive ice cream is in Munich, where you pay on average €2.12 for a scoop. And this is in a place where you can hardly rent a doghouse as an average earner.
