  • Reloaded and Portal stories Mel will be inaccessible on switch because they’re standalone releases with custom assets (both on steam for free if you happen to have access to a computer and Portal 2).

    If the switch has workshop support you should be able to play community maps, but I don’t know if that’s a steam-specific feature (it sadly probably is)


  • Games like this have a really hard time delivering on their puzzle elements because of their very broad target audience. They can’t make puzzles too challenging because it will negatively impact sales but they can do the opposite to little effect.

    I think the portal series is about the maximum difficulty you can make a puzzle-focused game that is still attempting mainstream appeal.

    This is why modding is more interesting to me than most base games. It sounds like EoW has the core necessary for modders to create a niche puzzle-action-platformer similar to how Portal 2 resulted in Portal: Reloaded (the best puzzle game I have ever played), Mel Stories, and the workshop at large.

    Hopefully there will be enough interest in creating/fostering the EoW modding scene to create something that I imagine you and I would both prefer
