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. They all share “Source 2” as foundation, but I believe each of those games has added enhancements for their use cases. This mod now uses the newest engine of CS2 for Portal 2, which is a jump from 2011 to 2023.
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.
I was mistaken; you are right!
