    7,3/10
    The simulator where everything goes wrong. Not a very original idea, as well as the gameplay, which by the middle turns into a regular shooting range, although the controls are convenient, you can’t find fault here.
    But good "portal" humor, of course, who would doubt it, and beautiful graphics of Source 2. I don’t know how to evaluate this game from the point of view of a “demo”,    7,3/10

    I don’t know how to evaluate this game from the point of view of a “demo”, but, from the point of view of a short adventure, I rate it very average, I enjoyed it, but the game didn’t sink right into the soul. Even secret actions are very few.
    The plot here is very unclear, the main events are funny at first, then very peculiar..There is a slight connection with the plot of the Portal, but nothing specific, although I am not an expert of the universe.
    p.s. By the way, Cave Johnson is voiced by J.K. Simmons, I didn't know this before.

    Симулятор, где всё пошло не так. Не слишком оригинальная идея, как и геймплей, к середине преврающийся в обычный тир, хотя управление удобное, тут не придерёшься.
    Но неплохой порталовский юмор, естественно, кто бы сомневался, и красивая графика Source 2.
    Не знаю, как оценивать эту игру с точки зрения "демонстрационной", но, я, с точки зрения короткометражного приключения, оцениваю очень средне, я получил удовольствие, но не зацепило, не запала прям в душу игра. Даже секретных действих, которые можно нажать не по сюжету, очень мало.
    Сюжет тут очень непонятный, основные события поначалу весёлые, потом очень своеобразные.. Небольшая связь с сюжетом Портала есть, но вроде ничего конкретного, хотя я не специалист по вселенной.
    p.s. Кстати, Кейва Джонсона озвучивает J.K.Simmons, я не знал раньше.

    Прошел игру на своем китайском геймпаде GP-50 khaki
    Игра техно-демка для стимдека, но и для обычных геймпадов тоже.
    Геймплей мне понравился задействуэться все я вся, много пасхалок да и посмеяться можно. Сюжет больше основывается на портал. Но обидно что валв толком игр не клепает :(    Прошел игру на своем китайском геймпаде GP-50 khaki

    I love this game.
    First, IT'S FREE!! If that isn't an incentive to at try it, I have no idea what will.
    Second, it is really, REALLY short (~30 minutes or so). Third, the graphics are BEUTIFUL running on Source 2. But now that I have praised this game into Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, we get to the bad parts. The controls are fine, but I personally don't see why it was put onto Steam    I love this game.

    The controls are fine, but I personally don't see why it was put onto Steam for desktop. Like, yes, I'm happy it's here, but isn't this supposed to be a showcase for the Steam Deck?
    There is NO reason not to beat this game, even if you don't like the Portal Franchise (trust me, this is NOTHING like Portal). 7/10.    … 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.
