A somewhat half hearted attempt by valve to capture the Candy Crush crowd, Portal 2 exemplifies the desperation to capture this growing mobile phone audience. In exchange for Candy Crush's brilliant and vibrant color, the laboratories of Aperture Science are a lugubrious, drab greyish white. The charm that King's mobile title exudes at every corner is lacking in Valve's poor imitation. The illustrious guide, Mr. Toffee, whose physiognomy personifies joy is discarded in exchange for a heartless, inhuman machine. The delightful player character, Tiffi, is replaced by a voiceless, utterly uninteresting test subject. With no character development whatsoever, Portal 2 fails to make the player become invested in the outcome of the characters, one of the main reasons Candy Crush was so well received. The game mechanics of Portal 2 have been watered down in order to appeal to toddlers. The once mentally intensive act of matching varieties of candy has been replaced with generating portals to the end of the levels. No skill is required as one may just create a portal at any moment to the end of the game. Overall Valve's attempt to cash in on the success of puzzle games lacks all that made Candy Crush so fantastic, including the ability to play on the go. Why a puzzle game such as this lacks mobile phone functionality is an enigma to me.

Overall I give this game a 2/10.
As others have suggested, play Candy Crush instead.

Idiot, why should we play Candy Crush? After all, it has no fish AI.
