    I think that Portal Reloaded has such a different approach to level design from PS: Mel. I love the mechanic of time travel and (most of) the maps it is used in. But unlike Mel's levels where the developers thought of various ways to make the maps difficult without being impossible(usually only one solution), Reloaded's approach was making them work with one solution in mind while accepting others. My favorite moment in Reloaded was when I completed a puzzle in an unintended timeline. I managed to reach the exit in the present while I should have reached it in the future. Should I have been able to do that? Probably not. But instead of breaking the game and finding a dead end of the map, the developers showed that they expect people to find unintended solutions, and had provided a way to get back on track. there is even unique dialogue in place for when you do that. I will also say that I definitely passed many levels in purely unintended ways (like running past the third laser grid when it was off for only a split second). Would I have called this Portal 3? No. I feel like it doesn't have enough polish, puzzle or narrative to be considered a third entry. Was it really fun to play and something I would suggest to any portal fan? Yes! Play it and have fun. Also good luck on Chamber 17, the solution I found (which seems to be the only viable solution to that chamber) is not intuitive nor a solution that any other chamber uses. Good Luck.

    5:05 I never thought of that. In my head it makes sense why the future cube you spawned would go away after altering the past cube, but no you're absolutely right. The future cube should remain unaffected. Imagine how much more intricate the puzzles could get with a mechanic like that!

    4:59 it make sense if you think about it:
    if you destroy the future cube and respawn another one (through the button in the future) you have another separate cube indeed, *but*, if you move the cube in the present you're changing the timeline of the cube itself (the same one you destroyed in the future), hence you wouldn't have a reason to destroy it in the future.

    The reason the "breaking the rules" chamber works is because the position only changes when:
    1. you pick up the cube and drop it
    2. the cube touches the ground.
    did you notice that the future cube disappears only after the collision when it lands on the glass? that's because it hit the ground

    Counterpoint: Portal Reloaded is Portal 3, in a purely mathematical sense... because you can shoot three colors of portal. 👀
    Actually, no, I have an even better idea. Portal 3... is actually more of an _Into the Aperture-Verse_ kind of thing, like the canon Perpetual Testing Initiative but each of these fangames takes place in those different parallel Apertures. Reloaded, Mel, Desolation, Prelude, arguably Desk Job even though it's Valve-made... all of these, _collectively,_ are Portal 3.

    Chamber 22 that you showed is not actually a breaking of Reloaded's rules, the tutorial just doesn't explain it well enough. Basically, the future cube only changes position when the present cube's _destiny_ is _altered_ (as the tutorial states), which is _almost_ the same as "move present cube, future cube snaps into place in the future", except not quite.
    Any infinite loop (between portals or between faith plates) does not count as a destiny change. Think about it -- if you just left that loop going for 20 years... you'd still find the cube looping after 20 years.
    It's just that chamber 22 is the only time you're really tested on this idea, and the tutorial does _not_ show you an explicit example. Massive confusion results.
    (Confusion also seems to result on chamber 17's time field trick -- I didn't have a problem with it, but apparently it even often got reported as a bug, which makes me think something really has gone astray in terms of game-to-player communication. Just _getting_ to chamber 17 takes real effort, so I can't just say "people aren't git gud-ing enough" to this, even if I don't understand why so many people found it so hard to notice.)

    The original portal was revolutionary because it forced you to think in a new way. Portal 2 did not really achieve that for me. It was a little too easy. Portal reloaded did force me to think in a new way. And for that reason I would consider it the better sequel. Even better than portal 2 IMO. Portal for me was never about the story but the puzzle and that feeling you get when forced to think about something in a completely new way. A completely new experience.

    People really need to stop calling Portal mods Portal 3.
    Both Mel and Reloaded are still clearly linked to the design aesthetic, gameplay style and art style of Portal 2.
    A true Portal 3 would be as different from Portal 2 as Portal 2 is from Portal. Whilst also telling a narrative on par with P1 and P2 and having test chambers as refined as P1 and P2.
