Just beat it under a few hours. It gave me the most emotional ending I ever felt and not due to overcomplicated plots or wide range of characters. It gave me a simple ending that nothing really bad happens yet is not the same sad feeling when is over. You sort of have a proud and sad good bye to the mc.

Until Portal 3 is announced where Glados sends you to space because the space core had important information contained inside

you forgot
Just marathoned it through in 1 sitting today. It was awesome; more the story than the puzzles. I liked the transport gel puzzles the most, since, well, there's excitement. That and
and another highlight is the part

This game is on my to-play list. I have Portal 1, and I beat it. For the most part, it was really easy. I hear that Portal 2 is even more fun though.

Yep. I wouldn't say Portal 2 is all that hard (the maps are a lot bigger though) but the fun factor is wayyy up there.

Well, if Portal 1 is any indicator, I did not find the puzzles to be that challenging, except for maybe a handful at most. Many of the more challenging puzzles were only due to the acrobatics that they involved. (I still think that it takes way too long to fall a mile in the game. I was sitting there for 10 minutes or so. In real life, I probably would have fallen at least 20 miles.)
Anyhow, the cake is still a lie, right?

A lot of people find Portal 2 to be easier than the first game but it's still definitely better than the first game

Yeah this is another awesome thing about Valve. With any other company you'd expect that after becoming such a big meme you would capitalize on it on sequels, but Valve knew better than that. There was only one cake reference in the whole game, and it was a small one. In return, a lot more awesome things happened.
I don't think I found any problems with pacing or even having to wait much. But this definitely has a bit more acrobatics due to the gels. Still, they're all designed well and there are lots of hints so it never gets really frustrating.

Easier is not bad, but I am generally the type of player who likes to play on Normal mode or harder at least, which reminds me of this:

That is a good thing, really. I do like it when authors write about stuff like that though as if to expound upon it, like in SHnY. However, if it is just there for show, I totally agree with you.
