Set after the events of Portal 2, Decay shows an Aperture that has been left to... well, you know. Run down test chambers aren’t exactly a new idea for Hammer made maps – even Portal 2 itself is filled with them – but Decay really takes the dilapidation to extremes. Corridors are wonky, puzzles no longer align properly and absolutely everything is falling apart. The puzzles included are some of the hardest. The second of the three parts is particularly tricky, pulling every design trick to introduce new obstacles that disrupt previously sound plans. In the third part, elements of different test chambers overlap, causing plenty of misdirection. But the visual spectacle of the climactic climb through the rubble is a compelling reason to endure its red herrings. |
