Best Portal fan game. Should be canon.

this IS a okay game but gah idk i could never tell what the evil robot guy was sayinge and the puzzles were so odd?? like the solutions were just weird and half the time the puzzles were 80% easy and then just 20% obnoxios, like a troll blocking your way like GOD why its not even fun at some point and when i DO complete the puzzeles it just dousnet feel satisfyinge whith help or not because the sollutions were just so odd and bland, and that beinge said this game was like 90 pecent puzzleds and 10 percent intresting story, 7 of that percent, beinge in the intro idk man maby im stupid just but it dident feel fun, and felt irritation throughout ( btw i skipped to chapter 5 when i realised nothign intrestign was gonna happen until the end, i never knew where i was goigne either, and the game kept crashing and bugging when i tabed out of it the list goes on but yeah i guese it should be expected about a free game, idk man in my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ opinion skip it if you wanan save yourself like 4 hours of just weird odd puzzles. but thats just my opinion some may like it and thats fine i just dident feel it was for me maby the puzzels are good and im dumb i really dont know


edit: i just played the end of the game and MAN was that dissapointing, thats 4 hours im never getting back

honestly not a bad mod for portal 2 i had fun with it would recommend

Portal Stories: Mel is a fantastic addition to the Portal series, even if not officially canon. The game plays incredibly well, the voice acting is great and exploring more of Aperture's by-gone eras was fascinating to me. I cannot recommend this mod enough.

a wonderful mod! though not cannon they did a super job on fitting this in with the current story!
10/10
thanks for this great mod!

gud game. feels harder thanm the other two

This is such a fun game, it truly feels like it was made by Valve.

Wow. Just... wow. Portal Stories: Mel is, for me, hands-down the best Portal 2 mod ever created. It’s hard to believe this is even a mod - it feels like a fully-fledged game that could’ve been made by Valve themselves. From the moment you start, you’re immersed in an experience that’s professional, polished, and deeply rooted in the Portal/Half-Life universe.


The mod stays incredibly faithful to the original Portal art style - no wild new designs, just a beautiful extension of the world we already love.

• Stunning Source Filmmaker animations
  
• Beautifully crafted, large-scale maps
  
• New models and outfits that fit the era perfectly

Everything looks and feels like it belongs in Aperture Science.


The voice acting is fantastic, and the story is genuinely intriguing and lore-friendly. It ties into the Portal/Half-Life universe so well that it could pass as canon. And who knows - maybe even when Half-Life 3 or Portal 3 eventually come out (in 2056? 😄), this mod might still fit in.


Oh my, the puzzles.
Portal Stories: Mel takes the challenge to a new level.

• Cleverly designed with multiple solutions
  
• Requires serious thinking and creative portal work
  
• Way tougher than Portal 2’s base game

You'll be scratching your head, trying wild ninja-level portal stunts, and muttering things like "If that goes there… wait, but then what about this, and this, no that's not it" for hours.


This mod packs a ton of quality content:

• 15–18 hours of gameplay
  
• Hidden easter eggs and cruel jokes
  
• Gorgeous design and great pacing
  
• No major bugs found

It’s incredible how something this polished and extensive is completely free. I bet that most of us would have happily paid $5–10 for the experience.


Portal Stories: Mel isn’t just a mod—it’s a masterpiece.
It’s a brilliant, challenging, and lore-rich addition to the Portal universe that every fan needs to experience.
To the developers: Thank you. You’ve created something truly special.

Best Portal 2 mod outright. No question.

The difficulty IS higher than base-game Portal 2, but I never found myself looking up solutions. Some new puzzle mechanics could have been demonstrated to the player a little better, but pretty solid overall. The voice acting and writing is a little weak, but you can tell there's passion behind it.

Overall, I liked it. Give it a go if you want a little bit of a challenge.

Geez that was a lot of fun for free...
