    Can't complain about free. It's a good 30min or so timeburner which is surprisingly entertaining and polished.

    Aperture Desk Job is literally a 30-minute mandatory turret session of last-gen shooters, but fun.

    This is an interactive experience. Short but sweet. J. K. 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?

    Очень юморное и короткое путишествие в духе вселенной portal. Однозначно для фанатов!

    # The classic Valve charm
    The game is set in the Portal universe, the most obvious indicator of this is that during the whole game, a Wheatley-like bot is talking to you. This one is slightly less of a moron. You have a desk that you sometimes you that displays the controller's buttons and sticks and reacts accordingly when you use them. This may seem like a minor detail, but I loved this    # The classic Valve charm
    The game is set in the Portal universe, the most obvious indicator of this is that during the whole game, a Wheatley-like bot is talking to you. This one is slightly less of a moron. You have a desk that you sometimes you that displays the controller's buttons and sticks and reacts accordingly when you use them. This may seem like a minor detail, but I loved this so much, because it was just more added charm to the game. There really isn't much gameplay here, 95% of the game is just watching and listening to the story.

    # Length
    Like Valve themselves say, this is a short game. The entire thing is about an hour. It's free anyway, so you might as well try it - if you have a controller, that is.

    # Conclusion
    And a short game deserves a short score, so Aperture Desk Job gets a 2,9/3 from me. Aperture Desk Job is a charming little experience, but not much more. There isn't anything wrong with the game, I found 0 bugs. I would have liked a bit more gameplay but it's a short, it's no big deal.    … Expand

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

    It is so fun! Really good game to try if you have a controller, as it is free.

    Прекрасное маленькое приключение во вселенной Portal. Проходится легко и быстро, так что есть оговорка, что по сути это техническое демо, созданное преимущественно для Steam Deck и бесплатно распространяемое в силу своего размера и наполнения. И в конечном итоге не у всех есть под рукой даже нужный контроллер, чтобы ее пройти. Тем не менее, для фанатов Portal уж точно, это небольшаяПрекрасное маленькое приключение во вселенной Portal.

Тем не менее, для фанатов Portal уж точно, это небольшая возможность вернуться в любимый сеттинг и даже повстречать одного из ключевых персонажей прошлых частей. В общем, отлично.… 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.
