  • Summary: Aperture Desk Job reimagines the been-there-done-that genre of walking simulators and puts them in the lightning-spanked, endorphin-gorged world of sitting still behind things.

    You play as an entry-level nobody on their first day at work - your heart full of hope and your legs full of dreams, eager to climb that corporate ladder. But life's got other plans, and they all involve chairs.

    Designed as a free playable short for Valve's new Steam Deck, Desk Job walks you through the handheld's controls and features, while not being nearly as boring as that sounds.

    Lower your expectations: This is not a sequel to Portal. Now get ready to raise them slightly, because it is in the expanded universe of those games. Desk Job puts you squarely in the driver's seat at Aperture Science. Then quickly removes the driving part and adds a desk in front of the seat.    … Expand

    This is a small project, but it packs in its share of indelible images. Aperture Desk Job confirms that, even when working on a limited scale, Valve is still the best in the biz at plopping you down in the middle of a well-realized sci-fi world and conjuring up a host of imaginative sights before your wide, unblinking eyes.

Simons is behind the helm of Cave Johnson and it is magnificent. It's charmingly weird and wonderfully odd. Small details make the experience richer like no one else than Valve can do. It's just a other reason to curse the gaming gods, why aren't you making more actual games Valve?… Expand

    Nice little short and free game. It is funny, and I really cannot get enough of the Portal/Half-Life universe.

Given Valve's capabilities, it was possible to create your own analogue of ASTRO's PLAYROOM. But Valve instead was only able to create the most primitive (game? - it's hard to call it a game) craft. Either Valve finally forgot how to make games, or the priority of Aperture Desk Job was minimal and it was done by 1.5 people. I don't understand even more, so these are reviews, why be happy here? Links to Portal or what is the shared setting used? As learning to use Steam Deck, the game is implemented mediocrely, as a standalone game it is difficult to call a game that. Fortunately, it goes for free. Steam Deck is a lovely portable PC, but Aperture Desk Job is a shame of Valve.… Expand
