    this game is good game. I like it. Boss fight I rate 10/10. Gameplay is 8.5 but this game did come out in 2009 so it is forgivable. If you are new puzzle games you should try portal.

    Portal was what sold me on the concept of the orange box, honestly. The concept behind portal greatly intrigued me to begin with. When I finally downloaded it off of steam and played it, I was not disappointed.

    The game starts out slowly, teaching you about portals, and the tutorial goes by quite smoothly. It was during this tutorial that I first learned

It can be slow-paced and confusing at times. Most people will play it once or twice, and then they'll quickly move on because the moment-to-moment gameplay doesn't really make them smile nor does it give them an adrenaline rush. That's why I would give Portal 8 out of 10 points. It is absolutely worth playing, but it doesn't have the "fun factor" to make me want to come back again and again.… Expand

    One of, if not the best game I've ever played. The puzzles are of a good difficulty, but for me it's not the puzzles that made the game so great - it's the story and the atmosphere. The soundtrack, art style and writing combine to create a feeling of isolation, which is balanced by the humour to create what I believe goes beyond a game - I think that Portal was an experience.

    События Portal разворачиваются в лаборатории Aperture Science, главном конкуренте приснопамятной Black Mesa. Главная героиня - девушка с какими-то странными приборами на ногах, которые не дают ей разбиться при падении с большой высоты. На протяжении игры героиню сопровождает механический женский голос компьютера GLaDOS. Ее комментарии - верх остроумия и цинизма. GLaDOS играет в Portal главную роль, она звезда, она великолепна! Кроме компьютерной тетки, очень запомнились говорящие турели, жутко орущие, когда их роняют. Что тут скажешь - настоящие женщины...
    Жаль, но single тут выступает скорее аперитивом, чем полноценным блюдом. Проводя предварительные тесты, разработчики заметили, что некоторые игроки с трудом учатся использовать порталы, - концепция дырок в пространстве просто не укладывается в голове. Потому решено было провести ликбез по полной программе, и в итоге процесс, конечно, затянулся. Зато когда кривая вывезет вас на самый верх, смело выбирайте бонусные карты в главном меню - там Valve припасла задачки поинтереснее: в разделе Challenges необходимо пройти уровень, используя минимальное количество шагов, порталов или просто как можно быстрее, в Advanced собраны головоломки высокой сложности.
    До лучшей игры года Portal не дотягивает, но награды за лучшую концепцию достоин.    … Expand

    Portal | November 2, 2020 | [★★★★]

    Just a quick recap of my innocence childhood, When I don't even know what GlaDos is mumbling about. Playing it again today with a perspective of Portal 2; Nothing from the sequel - ruins any value from this classic.

    Also, even though I know what's gonna happen from the beginning, I'm still mad that she lied.

It's a fantastic puzzle game with all the great world building that Valve is known for and it also has some of the best writing in any video game to date.

It's a fantastic puzzle game with all the great world building that Valve is known for and it also has some of the best writing in any video game to date.

    I don't have a whole lot to say about Portal other than I've been a fan for over 10 years now and even though the game has gotten increasingly easier over the years, I still enjoy beating it every once in a while. Maybe its partially for nostalgia sake but I believe the game has decent replay value, given you don't remember how every puzzle is solved. My only complaint is that it's maybe a little too short but considering the price of the game, I'd say it's worth it. Also, like I said, the game probably would lose a lot of the charm if it overstayed its welcome. I haven't beaten Portal 2 in a very long time but one of the things I remember disliking is how long it was. The original doesn't have this problem.

    Portal has shaped meme culture, influenced countless puzzle games that followed it and helped maintain Valve's popularity during it's second era of game development. It's a near perfect little slice of puzzle game cake.

    *Keep in mind, the high rating is really only to show how good Portal is for what it is. This rating shouldn't be used to compare Portal to other games. Portal is near perfect for what it is but it wouldn't surpass a lot of the other games I've reviewed on this site when being directly compared with them. It's waaaaay too short to directly compare it to a full game experience.

Из-за этого если вы в первые играете в игру вы можете многое упустить, и вам повет если вы в эти моменты успеете дочитать субтитры. Так что я бы советовал играть в эту часть тем кто хочет узнать с чего зарождался портал или тем кто испытывает ностальгию и хочет перепройти эту часть, так что в целом можно ее пропустить и идти играть во вторую, благо как продолжение она удалась с лихвой.    … Expand

Que peut-on dire sur ce jeu de casse-tête devenu culte avec le temps ?

    Les points positifs :
    + Un gameplay efficace. Un concept simple : la possibilité de créer deux portails. Quand on entre dans l'un, on ressort de l'autre en conservant vitesse et objets. Simple à comprendre et idéal pour développer des énigmes sympathiques autour de cette idée.
    + Un level-design bien travaillé. Les énigmes tiennent en haleine pendant tout le jeu, depuis la découverte de ses mécaniques jusqu'à sa conclusion qui tranche avec le reste.
    + Portal est devenu culte grâce à son ambiance. Son espèce de laboratoire qui, bien que super aseptisé avec ses salles entièrement blanches, silencieuses et vides, propose des mécaniques qui se renouvellent constamment. Et Glados, unique personnage avec lequel on intéragit pendant tout le jeu est parfaitement écrit et doublé.

    Les points faibles :
    - Bien que proposant des mécaniques qui se renouvellent souvent, Portal laisse un arrière-goût de "petite" expérience une fois terminé. 3 heures à peine pour venir à bout de l'histoire du jeu et une dizaine d'heure pour essayer toutes les casse-têtes bonus, le tout dans des décors toujours très semblables. Heureusement, le deuxième opus viendra complètement effacer ce défaut.

    En conclusion, Portal est l'un des puzzle games les plus cultes de tous les temps avec son atmosphère super sympa et son concept unique, que je vous recommande chaleureusement malgré sa durée de vie express.
    N'hésitez pas à vous attaquer ensuite au second opus qui propose vraiment tout ce que le premier faisait, en plus abouti.    … Expand

    Very short game with a simple plot, good mechanics. It only takes 3 hours to complete the game, so if you want to play Portal 2 (as it's a good game even nowadays) why wouldn't you play Portal first? Although, if you are a new player, I don't think you should play Portal I.

    Все знали, что ждать от Episode Two, за исключением мелочей, но вот Portal, была лично для меня, тёмной лошадкой.
    Я её купил, установил и пропал на весь день. Да игра коротка. Но затягивает, аш до головной боли, ёлки палки.
    Ничего подобного я не встречал до того. И как и было положено, Portal стала родоначальником целого направления игр, пространственных головоломок, с перемещением себя любимого, от первого лица, по различным лабиринтам. Её продолжателями можно назвать такие игры как: The Talos Principle, The Witness, Q.U.B.E., The Turing Test и многие другие.
    У игры практически нет сюжета, но он ей особо и не нужен.
    Через некоторое время вышел сиквел, с замысловатым и труднопроизносимым названием, Portal 2! И как ни странно, оказался великолепным! Появился сюжет, улучшились и расширились головоломки, увеличилось время прохождения, а так же похорошела графика.
    К сожалению Valve зажрались и перестали делать хорошие, сюжетные игры, поделки Left 4 Dead 1 и 2, за полноценные игры, извините, принять не могу. А зачем напрягаться? Доить терпил, лучше "Steam"ом и "Dota 2", слегка шевеля мизинцем левой ноги.
    К сожалению в нашем мире бабло побеждает всё! По этому вряд ли мы в ближайшее время увидим Portal 3 и ту же Half-Life 3, если вообще увидим.
    Хотя, как ни странно, недавно вышла Half-Life: Alyx, игра, я бы так сказал, очень далеко не для всех. Примерно для 1% играков. Но как бы великолепно, Portal 3 смотрелась сейчас в VR! Как думаете, а?    … Expand

    This game is normal for a start, no more. In fact, the game is very cool for its age, the portal are fun and the like was in some kind of game. in the game the idea of portals is very cool! In general, I love puzzle games, the way to move brain's. At the time of release, Portal was with bag's and bhop, then be a raw, but it was updated and remained from "bug's" ABH. (sorry for my English :( )

    Portal is an incredibly original game. Very funny, but also very intelligent. You don't have to like enigmas to like the game; starting the puzzle will immediatly raise your curiosity to the point you cannot leave the game before solving the puzzle.

    Portal is a masterpiece of the videogame history, and I advise anyone who likes games to get it.

    The game is short enough, the first 14 tasks are very easy. Nevertheless, such games develop your intelligence. There are more complex additional tasks that you need to think carefully about.

    A good puzzle that makes you think! 10 of 10 given the year of development of the game of course. The second part is much larger, smarter and funnier))) Nevertheless, i would recommend this game even now!

    Never mind the fantastically innovative gameplay or the mind boggling puzzles that will keep you stuck for longer than you might care to admit, what makes Portal shine is its worldbuilding and its twisting and turning plot. Its a short experience but will stay with you for years to come.

The story is simple, but one of the most cohesive and entertaining ones I've played in a long time.

    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.
