Portal: Revolution is an eight hour fan-made Portal 2 prequel, with 40 new test chambers, voiced characters and new puzzle mechanics. It looks seriously impressive and it's out now, with a trailer below.
Voiced characters and dialogue always seem to be one area where mods fall down, much more than level or puzzle design, but the above trailer gives me hope Revolution overcomes that particular obstacle.
Revolution takes place in between Portal 1 and 2. GladOS has been destroyed, sending the Aperture Science Labs into chaos, and you - an unnamed test subject - and a personality sphere called Stirling work to find a "powerful device capable of restoring Aperture to its former glory."
Although set before Portal 2, the game makes use of Portal 2's mechanics, including all its paint gels to make surfaces slidey or springy. It also adds some new ideas of its own, including a new laser cube variant and a "gel cleansing field" - which presumably strips gels from objects you're holding when they pass through, which I think can be seen in the above trailer. It also makes use of Pneumatic Diversity Vents, which were transport tubes initially conceptualised by Valve but cut from Portal 2 before release.
Although set before Portal 2, and making use of the ideas of Portal 2, the difficulty "starts where Portal 2 stops", according to the Portal: Revolution Steam page. Although it also says to "fear not", because they say the puzzles have been thoroughly playtested to make sure that new ideas and advanced tricks are taught to the player via the levels. "Although very few chambers require portals to be fired mid-air, no puzzles require advanced tricky movement."
Portal: Revolution had originally inteded to release on January 5th, but experienced a brief one-day delay while waiting on Valve to complete the review process all Steam games go through.
I loved Portal 2 upon release, particularly its co-op mode - which remains, arguably, the best co-op game - but I haven't returned to it since. Revolution is a very tempting excuse to start a replay.

After a decade of perfecting the narrative-driven, action-adventure formula, PlayStation’s first-party games are tackling a new genre: the roguelike.

At a quick glance, they’re very similar. Both modes have players cutting through arenas filled with enemies and grabbing new upgrades en route to a final boss battle.

War Hospital, out now on Steam, is about subsisting on the periphery of a war and keeping it firmly off-screen by means of adept time management. Set in 1918, it puts you in charge of a field hospital in northern France, a few minutes drive from the frontline. Here’s how all that works: casualties arrive from the trenches by ambulance or stretcher, and are carried by your medics to a clearing station, where nurses look after them before they’re seen by a doctor. Patients may be lightly or severely injured, but they will all eventually die if they’re left unattended.
