I liked Portal but minute for minute I enjoyed R&D more.

That poor cat…!

I totally don't agree with you here! Try going for the Expert achievements and then call it toothless! It also sounds like you didn't love Portal.

Wow. I totally don’t agree with you here! Try going for the Expert achievements and then call it toothless!

It also sounds like you didn’t love Portal. I thought they did a pretty good job of providing new portal-based trickery / mechanics throughout.

R&D is great though. I particularly enjoyed the gnome and the cat.
