To many Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant fans the very fact that the latter of the comedic duo was going to be taking up voice-duties in the sequel to one of the most beloved cult-titles of all time was reason enough to get stuck into the hype surrounding the game before it had even become playable. Needless to say with Merchant's infectiously hilarious take on making remarks on everything around him, his debut in the Portal universe as the always-cautious and unsure robot Wheatley is one that even today has people commenting on anything he's in as "That guy who played Wheatley!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYNS4TvBigQ Narrative-wise Wheatley serves as your guide throughout the abandoned (or is it?) experimental facility as you find yourself escaping from unknown forces that make the two of you rely on each other just to survive. Through Merchant's incredibly astute observations and interactions with the other components throughout the journey, it makes for an incredibly fun ride in a game that's already overflowing with charm and personality.
