Portal 2 manages to take all the charm that is found in the original game and up the ante. Each challenge in Portal 2 builds on the previous obstacle allowing the player to feel like an absolute super genius by the end, even if they are just sitting in front a computer screen with a mouse. The only thing that is truly required for Portal 2 is to put your gamer thinking cap on and immerse yourself in a strange, but hilarious, world of physics-based puzzles. It is not necessary to play the first Portal to jump into Portal 2 ( though the original game is also discounted for just 99 cents). Portal 2 is worth any price but at 1.99 it is an absolute steal. The tremendous puzzle platformer is discounted at 90% off so Portal 2 can be picked for the exact same number of dollars that are in the title. Yet with the Steam Summer Sale Portal is almost being offered for free. Since Portal comes from Valve it is not that rare to find the game on sale on Steam.

The orcs will remember their past encounters with the player and maybe even develop new ways to combat them. Every time an orc kills you it will grow in power.
The nemesis system is built on the idea that each playthrough of the game is special to the individual player. The nemesis system was groundbreaking when the game first released in 2014 but since no game has really tried to imitate it, Shadow of Mordor remains a wholly unique experience. Shadow of Mordor’s main selling point, besides the fluid combat, is the incredibly crafted nemesis system. It goes on to say that an element of human curation would be infused into Steam’s processes in terms of content discovery.The sequel to Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War, might be on the horizon, but with the original game hitting the Steam Summer Sale there is no excuse to skip out on this excellent hack and slash game from the Lord of the Rings universe if you haven’t played it before. “We’ve decided we're going to aim for the lowest barrier to developers as possible, with a $100 recoupable publishing fee per game, while at the same time work on features designed to help the Store algorithm become better at helping you sift through games,” a post from Valve reads.
