10 Amazing Video Games That Didn't Rely On Combat

We all love a good puzzle from time to time, but they can sometimes feel so... boring.

Not the case in Portal 2, though. Not at all.

With Stephen Merchant lending both his voice and his comedic talent to proceedings, Portal 2 gave us hours of physics-based puzzle-platforming to complete with plenty of laughs to be had along the way.

With more story than you would have ever expected from a game of its type, Portal 2 offers so much more than it seems to at a glance, and players everywhere sunk their teeth into it and never let go.

There was also a co-op mode for those more multiplayer-inclined, and a map editor which enabled players to create and share their own levels.

Portal 2 is widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time, and it's a title that it takes incredibly seriously.

It has also since become the result of a study in which it was learned that video games can significantly improve a person's cognitive skills.

So, basically, start thinking with Portals.
