DETOUR vs Portal 2: which should you buy?
For Filipino buyers, Portal 2 is the clear winner. It boasts a stellar 95 Metacritic score and a 4.6/5 community rating from over 6,100 ratings, compared to DETOUR's abysmal 1.7/5 from just 62 ratings. Portal 2 offers a rich 11-hour campaign with single-player, co-op, and multiplayer modes, while DETOUR has only a 3-hour playtime. Portal 2 is available on multiple platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Mac, Linux) and stores, whereas DETOUR is PC-only on Steam. Both are from 2011, but Portal 2's puzzle gameplay is critically acclaimed and has a strong community. DETOUR's genre list is overly broad (Action, Adventure, RPG, Strategy, etc.), suggesting a lack of focus. Portal 2 requires a more powerful PC (2.0 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, 7.6 GB storage) compared to DETOUR's low specs (1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 160 MB storage), but modern PCs easily handle Portal 2. DETOUR's low rating and short playtime make it a poor choice. For the best value and experience, choose Portal 2.
