THERE are always deals going on in gaming, but Nintendo Switch owners often see fewer discounts on games for the platform. The hugely popular console doesn’t need deep price cuts to boost sales, which is why we always grab them when we can. However, there is a deal right now for one of the highest-rated games of all time that Switch players should pick up.
There’s not one but two 90+ rated games in the collection that you can grab for a fraction of the usual cost. The Portal Companion Collection, is a collection made exclusively for Nintendo Switch players, and contains both games from the Portal series. This includes the original Portal with a 90 rating on review aggregate site Metacritic, as well as the sequel Portal 2 with a huge rating of 95.
More in Nintendo Games rarely achieve ratings over 90, so this is a particularly special deal to grab. The Portal games are first-person shooters with a twist, as instead of firing bullets you fire portals. These allow you to move throughout the levels in unexpected ways, as you use gravity and physics to fly across each room.
Both games consist of a series of rooms where you have to solve platforming puzzles to make your escape. Most read in Gaming Portal 2 even has a co-op mode, so you can work together to figure out the puzzles ever faster with extra portal power. However, if you want to use this mode, you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription so that you can connect with others.
These games have been critically acclaimed since their releases, and not just because of their unique concepts and intriguing puzzle design. Both games are well known for their quirky sense of humour, which has led people to consistently ask for more games in the series. The Portal Collection is usually pretty cheap to purchase but it’s an even better deal during the current sale.
Usually priced at $19.99/£13.49, you can pick it up right now for $6.
79/£4.58, saving 66% off the regular price. The deal ends on Thursday, September 26, 2024, so players have over a week if they want to grab it.
