Comment on Day 796 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
Malix@sopuli.xyz 2 days agonow that I have played this (haven’t finished it yet, though), only the beginning of the mod was what I’d call as identical to original - apart from the graphics.
The later parts in the “back areas” are wildly different from original. I dunno if the change or design is really good or bad, but at least I’m not just mechanically doing puzzles I already knew by heart and I’m having fun.

Thanks for coming back to this lol. I appreciate the perspective from someone who played through more than me, especially since it sounds like you know portal better than I do (last time I really played was years ago).
By back areas you mean the escape sequence, right? Or is that different?

basically all the peeks to the “backside” (ratman’s dens?) from the test-chambers are pretty different, but they were fairly cosmetic anyway.
after the last chamber & the fire/furnace, it’s like entirely different game. Different puzzles, different … everything. Some ideas of original games’ rooms there are similar (like the giant room with many turrents), but execution is VERY different. Which, incidentally, is the place where I left off as the darn turrents killed me repeatedly. x)
And tbh, it’s been few years since I last played portal (any of them). I think I’ve played through portal 1 probably 4-5 times? So I’m not THAT much “in the know” with all the rooms/tidbits.
