While the game directly inspired Portal 2, it still stands on its own thanks to the presence of the paint gun and blue sticky paint that were left out of Valve's project.
With a unique and innovative puzzle mechanic that allows for clever environmental brainteasers, Tag: The Power of Paint is a perfect title for any Portal fan to try. Erik Wolpaw, who co-wrote the first two games in the Aperture Science saga, feels that fans should petition Valve president Game Newell to start work on a follow-up to Portal 2. Recently a Valve writer addressed Portal 3, expressing that the developer should make a third entry in the series before he gets too old to work on it. While Tag: The Power of Paint is an entertaining game on its own, many fans are looking forward to Portal 3 instead. Tag Team was hired by Valve to turn Tag's paint mechanic into Portal 2's gel mechanic, though the sticky blue paint was replaced by white paint that lets any surface hold a portal. Players gain speed on red paint, bounce off green paint and stick to blue paint, allowing for many different environmental puzzles and acrobatic feats. The indie title from Tag Team gives players a gun loaded with red, green or blue paint.

The Portal 2 Desolation mod and similar fan projects put their own spins on Valve's iconic series, though sadly an official Portal 3 has yet to be announced. Putting a heavier focus on narrative through supporting characters like Wheatley and Cave Johnson, the sequel also brought in a host of new mechanics like anti-gravity beams, lasers and gels that can dramatically affect the environment. The first game introduced players to GLaDOS, the Portal Gun and the world of Aperture Science, and in 2011 Portal 2 pushed the envelope once again.
Released in 2007, Portal became an instant pop-culture icon thanks to its innovative physics-based puzzles and charming story.
