It’s a graphical remaster of Portal 2 that’s mod-friendly and free (but requires the original game in your library). It uses an upgraded version of the Source engine called Strata Source, which also powers Momentum Mod.

    Yes, this is in fact true. However, after Portal 2, they kept on working on the engine for CS:GO, Alyx and CS2. That’s why those engines are a bit more modern and add new visual effects and also a lot of new capabilities. This mod uses a heavily modified engine of CS:GO for Portal 2, called “Strata Source”. Unfortunately, VALVe does not license Source 2 engine to third parties, as it seems, or else the would probably switch to this engine.

    Edit: I was spreading inaccurate information and fixed this now. Thanks for pointing it out, @[email protected]

      Oh, they switched to Source 2? I thought P2:CE was based on the CS:GO branch of the engine, which would still be Source 1. But I haven’t kept up to date with what they were doing, so maybe I’m wrong here.
