In fact, queue up your levels and it very much resembles a story this alone should be enough to steal quite a few hours of your time.Īnd whilst the addition to the plot is brilliant, it’s hardly the main focus of the DLC that lies with the test chamber creator itself, which is a very slick, very simple to use isometric editor that you’ll feel right at home with almost instantly.Īll the items from Portal 2 are here: buttons, switches, bridges, water hazards, cubes, gel along with everything else in the main game’s test chambers.
It’s a brilliant set-up, and it’s one that carries on throughout the downloaded levels, with Cave Johnson acting as the announcer for each test – there’s a lot of new voice work, including references, more backstory and the same Aperture humour and oddities that we all love. The Testing Initiative itself is a way of Aperture creating free, infinite test chambers with the help of the endless amount of parallel earths and Apertures. Most importantly, the editor (and the levels) themselves fit snugly in the Portal Universe… or multiverse as the introductory video reveals, with Cave Johnson once again narrating.
