Portal 2 brings you back to the role of Chell, being reawakened years after the first game took place. Though retaining mots of the same gameplay elements from Portal, several more were added in the sequel including tractor beams, laser redirection, and bridges made of light. There was also the inclusion of coloured paint that had different properties, whether making players bounce, move quickly over it, or allow you to place portals where you would not otherwise be able to. In a similar way to Portal being based on a student project, the idea for these gel paints came from a DigiPen student project known as "Tag: The Power of Paint".

In addition to the added gameplay features, Portal 2 features dynamic new characters, voiced by Stephen Merchant and J K Simmons, and a considerably longer and more complex storyline that takes you into the depths of Aperture Science's oldest and most long forgotten laboratories.

There is also a second campaign included, where two players can play as robots known as Atlas and P-Body. Each are given Portal guns and must work together to solve test chambers that require cooperation.

Portal 2 won several Game of the Year awards, from Gamasutra, IGN, Europgamer, Kotaku, and The Associated Press. It also came in second place in Time Magazine's Top 10 Video Games of 2011. Further praise and awards have been given for its story, multiplayer, design, humour, and acting.
