Gaming AgeMatthew PolleselMar 20268/10Does it ever come close to matching Portal? Obviously not. But it doesn’t need to, either. Chromagun 2 may not do a whole lot new, but the fact that so many other games are out there now that are also copying Portal makes that easier to forgive.

Cloud DosageJon ScarrFeb 20263.3/5 starsChromaGun 2: Dye Hard is a first person colour puzzle game built around a tri-colour ChromaGun, Magnetoid Chromatism, and multiverse test labs where you pull WorkerDroids onto switches, pick apart long chambers, and hunt hidden golden guns through crumbling corridors. Frequent loading screens, spaced-out auto saves, chatty supervisors, and a few timing-heavy rooms drag the whole thing down, but if you like Portal style puzzles and want something smaller that plays with colour rules in its own way, this is still worth a look.

NoobFeedNamira NidhuFeb 202667/100The thing that makes ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard stand out is that it really gets its idea across. The multiverse angle gives writers more freedom with chamber themes. It adds strange elements that fit well with the show's origins in a lab. The game doesn't try to hide the fact that it takes place in just one business testing center; it knows it could be a story and goes beyond that.
