Portal 2 Free Download Mac Full Version


Portal 2 Free Download Mac Full Version




Portal 2 is an acclaimed first-person puzzle game that can be played on Mac in several ways. You can play Portal 2 on Mac with cloud gaming platforms like Boosteroid and GeForce Now or by emulating or installing Windows with Parallels, CrossOver, or Boot Camp. Portal 2 is the sequel to the legendary first Portal game, developed and published by Valve. Like its predecessor, Portal 2 is a unique type of puzzle game played from a first-person perspective, where the player finds themselves in the depths of an enormous underground research facility, with their sole goal being to escape. The thing that makes this game particularly interesting and sets it apart from other first-person puzzle games is that the player needs to employ portals between two distant points in order to solve the increasingly complex puzzles. This specific mechanic is at the core of the gameplay in both Portal 1 and 2, and it sets the stage for some very creative and entertaining level designs, but that also presents the player with plenty of unexpected challenges with even more unexpected ways to overcome them.


How to play Portal 2 on Mac with cloud gaming platforms




Cloud gaming platforms are services that allow you to stream games from remote servers to your device, without having to download or install anything. This means that you can play any game on any device, as long as you have a stable internet connection and a compatible browser or app. Cloud gaming platforms are especially useful for Mac users who want to play games that are not natively supported on macOS, such as Portal 2.

How to play Portal 2 on Mac by emulating or installing Windows




If you prefer to play Portal 2 on Mac natively, without relying on cloud gaming platforms, you can also emulate or install Windows on your Mac with Parallels, CrossOver, or Boot Camp. These are software solutions that allow you to run Windows applications and games on macOS, either by creating a virtual machine or by partitioning your hard drive. However, these methods require more setup and may affect your Mac's performance and stability.


Parallels




Parallels is a software that allows you to create and run a virtual machine (VM) on your Mac, where you can install and run Windows and its applications and games. Parallels is easy to set up and offers moderately good performance and compatibility. Parallels runs on Windows 11 and requires a yearly fee, but has a 14-day free trial to test it out.


To play Portal 2 on Mac with Parallels, you need to follow these steps:



  • Go to the [Parallels website] and download and install Parallels Desktop for Mac. You can use the free trial or buy a license for $79.99/year or $99.99/year (depending on the edition).



  • Launch Parallels Desktop and create a new VM by clicking on the "+" icon in the top right corner.



  • Select "Install Windows or another OS from a DVD or image file" and then click "Continue".



  • Select "Download Windows 11" from the list of options and then click "Continue". You will need to enter your Microsoft account credentials to download Windows 11.



  • Wait for the download and installation process to finish. You can customize the VM settings, such as memory, disk space, and performance, by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner.



  • Once the VM is ready, launch it and log in with your Microsoft account. You will see the Windows desktop inside a window on your Mac.



  • Open the Microsoft Store app on the Windows desktop and search for Portal 2. Click on the game icon and then click on the "Buy" button. You will need to pay $9.99 to purchase the game.



  • Once you have bought the game, click on the "Install" button and wait for the download and installation process to finish.



  • Once the game is installed, click on the "Play" button and enjoy playing Portal 2 on your Mac!
