10 Obvious Video Game Traps You Definitely Fell For

10. Wheatley's Trap - Portal 2

While there are many nefarious traps you have to deal with in the Portal series, relatively few of the challenging ones are crafted by Wheatley, your sidekick who goes rogue when he gets control of the Aperture facility in the later part of the game.

Wheatley was created to counter GlaDOS by dampening her intelligence when attached to her, and this becomes even more apparent when you see the first proper trap he sets up when he's trying to kill you.

Under the guise that more spikes equals a better trap, Wheatley surrounds you with crushing walls. It'd almost be intimidating, if it weren't for the one spot you can clearly make a portal to, taking you totally out of harm's way. When a plan can be defeated by a woman cryogenically frozen and then hastily brought back, and a talking robot potato, you know it might not have been the absolute best.

Hilariously, though, because you get an achievement for jumping into Wheatley's death trap after you've escaped it, you'll still likely die at least once in order to get that sweet sweet trophy. The completionist in you will thank you - even if what's left of your dignity won't.
