    Portal is an incredible gameplay concept, that had an incredible game built around it. The story and pacing are good, the jokes are funny, and holy **** that 3rd act is something else
    Incredible game 9.5/10

    The villain makes this game prefect. Not gonna tell you much about the villain. But I will tell you that this game is a simple masterpiece. The test chambers in this game are pretty good. If it's a Valve game... YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE GOOD. There's only really like 2 Valve games that are bad. This low count of bad games makes them the King of gaming (I'm looking at YOU 343).

    Valve really needs to make more new games with their IPs man. Portal has one of the most unique and creative concepts for a game I've ever seen, and the potential this series has is through the roof. The execution of those ideas, while flawed in a few ways, still made for an excellent experience, and I can confidently say that even with only two games, Portal is one of my favorite series.Valve really needs to make more new games with their IPs man.

The execution of those ideas, while flawed in a few ways, still made for an excellent experience, and I can confidently say that even with only two games, Portal is one of my favorite series. While the first game does suffer from the campaign being too short, along with a couple of bugs here and there, those are nitpicks in the grand scheme of things. The puzzles feel so satisfying to complete, the level design is very impressive, and character/story wise, it's actually a really funny game. Both games in the Portal series excel at what they do, and while Portal 2 has more depth and is way more replayable these days, you shouldn't count out the first game under any circumstance.… Expand

    Best puzzle game I've ever played, even if not that hard. Portal is just amazing and I think every gamer should give it a try.

    Un juego corto, pero entretenido de principio a fin, una mecánica de portales ingeniosamente diseñada, con un final abierto más que decente. Si te quedas con ganas de más, existe su secuela, por lo que la duración del juego, pese a ser su mayor punto en contra, se puede remediar fácilmente. Un juego adictivo, que no te hará despegarte de la pantalla hasta que termines

Sua história é relativamente boa, preparando-nos para o que viria a seguir, em sua continuação. Tem bons gráficos para sua época e não exige muito dos computadores para ser jogado, o que é um ponto muito positivo, por ele rodar em quase qualquer PC. Sua gameplay é fluída, sendo muito raros os bugs (em minhas gameplays foram nulos) e se torna muito desafiadora, principalmente nos Mapas Avançados e Desafios, apesar de ser um jogo de quebra-cabeça. Minha única reclamação é o fato do jogo ser bem curto, tendo apenas umas 4 horas de gameplay no modo história. Apesar disso, vale muito a pena seu preço em promoção, que é sempre recorrente. Recomendo comprar Portal 2 junto, ou o pacote dos dois jogos, porque a sequência desse jogo é uma obra-prima.… Expand

    Portal dönemi için oldukça yaratıcı bir oyun. Şu an oynandığında dahi sırıtmıyor. Oyun için yapılmış amatör bir türkçe dublaj dahi var. Valve yine yapmış yapacağını.

    Great puzzle game, thoroughly enjoyed almost every moment, some puzzles here are more frustrating than challenging, however, mostly due to the pretty wacky physics engine. Overall it's a great, simple puzzle game, that is merely overshadowed by just how much of a sheer masterpiece its sequel is.

    Videojuego excelente. Este juego de puzles basado en el uso de portales resulta revolucionario, siendo muy entretenido de jugar; si a esto le sumamos una muy buena narrativa y un villano tan carismático, surge la combinación perfecta.

    Portal es una obra maestra. Cuando empecé a jugarlo, no entendía el por qué de las tan buenas críticas al juego. El inicio es muy simple y cuando digo muy, es muy simple. Pero, cada vez el juego se iba volviendo mejor. Cada puzzle es más difícil que el anterior, con una idea que es muy simple y al mismo tiempo compleja (como es el usar dos portales para ir a distintos sitios), que se usa de forma genial durante 19 niveles.

    La historia es simple (no por ello mala, es bastante original) pero lo mejor es sin duda su villana: GlaDos. Glados es de los mejores antagonistas que he visto en mucho tiempo, porque solo te quiere para que hagas las pruebas y a tu casa, solo quiere que la obedezcas y ese humor sádico que tiene a veces es genial.

    Los puzles son magistrales, de los mejores que me he encontrado en videojuegos, que se complementan con un diseño de niveles perfecto que te tendrá horas atrapado en Aperture Science. La ambientación es de locos, con unos sonidos perfectos para el entorno y un estilo artístico muy minimalista pero muy funcional.

    Es imprescindible. Solo te pido que lo juegues.    … Expand

    A brilliant idea with the portal gun, the gradual introduction of new elements to the puzzles, a wonderfully built plot and atmosphere. My only complaint is that the game is too short!

    One of the best puzzle games I've ever played. Each level was hard enough to make me consider how to get past it but also not to hard to make the actual solution be nonsense. I just wish Portal was longer.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game is a triumph
    I'm making a note here,
    "huge success"
    it's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
    and hey those speedrunners..
    they do what they must because they can
    for the good of all of us
    except the series is dead

    but there's no sense crying over every mistake,
    we just keep on trying till we run out of cake
    and the puzzles get done
    and you had lots of fun
    for the game that is very much still alive

    I'm not even angry
    I'm being so sincere right now.
    even though valve broke my heart
    with no portal 3
    it tore me to pieces.
    how they threw these ideas into the fire
    as they burned it hurt because
    I was so happy for them

    because 9 points is still what I give this game from an old time
    and I'm out of writing to describe it's good and fine
    so I'm GLaD it got burned
    think of all the things we learned!
    for the game that is very much still alive

    go ahead and leave it
    I think I prefer to stay with just 2
    maybe you'll update another franchise
    that needs you?

    maybe a half life 3?
    THAT WAS A JOKE HAHA FAT CHANCE
    anyway these games are great
    they're so delicious and moist

    look at me still writing when there's puzzles to solve
    when I finally beat one it improves my resolve
    I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
    on the series that is still alive

    and believe me it is still alive
    I'm doing science and it's still alive
    it is fantastic and it's still alive
    when others are dying it'll be still alive.
    when they're dead it'll be still alive
    still alive still alive    … Expand

    Portal es un gran juego de puzzles que a día de hoy se sigue sintiendo original e innovador.

Lo que más destaca en este juego son sin duda su cuidada y característica jugabilidad y sus sorprendentes físicas, siendo estas últimas de las mejores que he visto en un videojuego. Cada nivel ofrece cosas nuevas y todas las mecánicas que ofrece la Portal Gun están muy bien desarrolladas e integradas. En cuanto a los gráficos, el juego no ha envejecido nada mal y esa estética que tiene contribuye a una historia plagada de ironía pero con un terror subyacente que ha conseguido transmitirme una sensación única. Esta historia es muy breve y sin complejidad, pero con pocos conceptos consigue ser espeluznante. A esto ayuda uno de los mejores personajes que he visto en los videojuegos, GLaDOS, ya que con su humor y sus diálogos consigue que el jugador se sienta incómodo constantemente sabiendo que está siendo utilizado como sujeto de pruebas. Cabe destacar que a nivel sonoro no está mal, y la banda sonora se basa en una simple melodía que suena en ciertas ocasiones pero que en el final del juego resulta en una canción inolvidable y magistral. Es cierto que la pelea final resulta algo decepcionante, o que quizá no todos los puzzles son extremadamente entretenidos; pero en su conjunto da una obra realmente sólida muy recomendable para todo tipo de jugador y a los amantes de los juegos de puzzles. 8,8/10

    The idea behind Portal ends up being more brilliant than Portal itself. Regardless, we definitely had a lot of fun with what is there and appreciate the level of polish and thought that went into the presentation.

    Portal is a magnificent puzzle game. The titillating wrongness of every solution and the wonky thinking required to get there make you feel like a space-folding genius, and yet you'll almost never get stuck.

    One of the most interesting and delightful things Valve's ever done, but also one of its least fulfilling. If only we had our own portal gun to bridge the gap to the first infusion of new content, perhaps we could forget it.
