Re: Portal 2 (Score: 1)

It's been reviewed on Firingsquad now too and gets a whopping 95 / 100. The one drawback they could find is described as follows:

"If I had to pinpoint one aspect of Portal 2 that annoyed me the most, it would be the sheer abundance of loading screens. Now, of course all previous Source engine games have had loading screens, but they were brief pauses in a hallway or airlock room, not full-blown cut-aways with progress bars and static images that may or may not have anything to do with where you’re currently located. It wouldn’t be so bad if they were few and far between, but loading occurs at the end of every test chamber (after boarding the elevator) and there is more than one instance of loading screens sandwiching a 45-second “cutscene” that consists of you seeing and hearing stuff, yet not actually doing anything. Some insist that this is a sign of the Source engine’s obsolescence, but I would venture to guess that making the levels smaller and more segmented was for the benefit of the consoles."
