    И поныне, одна из лучших головоломок, шедшая приятным бонусом в комплекте Orange Box. Еще не отошедшая от закостенелых оков своего движка, первый Portal смотрится скорее как очередной мод для халфы, нежели как отдельная игра. Но уже тогда, в 2007, был выработан собственный стиль, фирменный юмор, а впечатления от физики и возможностей портальной пушки были волшебными. Итого: 6.И поныне, одна из лучших головоломок, шедшая приятным бонусом в комплекте Orange Box.

    One of the best puzzle games I have played. The levels are very creative because of the very smaty gimmick of portals, and the story unravels in a very interesting way. However, the game is incredibly small in length. It took me 2 hours to finish. But giving the price of the game, that is not a problem. It is a must play.

    A short but sweet puzzle game which is very original in concept, and with puzzles that are appropriately tricky to solve. If you pay attention to the dialogue over the loudspeaker, you will notice that this game has some goofy comedy mixed in. Portal is not nearly as good as its sequel, but it's nevertheless a very good game that’s worth playing… before moving on to the sequel.

    Portal, gayet kısa oyun süresi, eğlenceli oynanışı, yeterli grafikleri ve hikaye anlatımıyla oynamaya değer başarılı bir yapım.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has a great atmosphere and great physics. But [Portal 2] is greater than [Portal]. Because of this I gave [Portal] 9. You should play it. PLAY IT. NOW!!! Or I will deliver neurotoxin to your own room!!

    Very innovative game that has one of the greatest video game villains of all time in GLaDOS. Lack of replay value brings it down a bit though.

    Unlike portal 2, this game simply does not hold up. It has value for its incredible concept and being the groundwork for the sequel, but if you had a choice between the two, there simply is no contest. I'd be less harsh on the game if it wasn't 2 hours long.

    Portal is boring to me. It's not funny, the puzzles are mostly about sitting around and waiting for the game to catch up to you, and absolutely nothing is satisfying to do. I probably won't ever understand the universal acclaim surrounding this title.

    The game has the best story in video gaming history. Valve has done some really good work with this.

    simply brilliant! this masterpiece is a master class of level designing at its best! levels gradually get harder and harder each level(test chamber as the game calls them); you might think this puzzle game doesn't have that much of a story to tell but believe me it does and It's mysterious and amazing especially at the end with an epic boss fight!

    totally play it, not once, but again and again, because puzzles are fun to solve and at the end of each level you get a full satisfaction you never get from any other game!
    9/10 just because graphics and some mechanics are too old for modern systems of nowadays; definitely would've given it a perfect score if I had played it back on the release date!    … Expand

    Portal defines what a puzzle game can be . The game's excellent designing made it extremely enjoyable, it just has a little bit short gameplay time . I enjoyed each and every level and listening to GLADOS telling me not the touch the operational end of the device.

    I give Portal a lot of praise because it manages to take a genre I don’t normally like, puzzle games, and make it highly enjoyable for me. Part of that is it’s humour, which is fantastic, but it also take’s what is a very basic concept and makes it complex without being annoying. At it’s core you make up to two portals, but it’s up to you to figure out where to put them and how to use themI give Portal a lot of praise because it manages to take a genre I don’t normally like, puzzle games, and make it highly enjoyable for me. Part of that is it’s humour, which is fantastic, but it also take’s what is a very basic concept and makes it complex without being annoying. At it’s core you make up to two portals, but it’s up to you to figure out where to put them and how to use them to get to the end of a room. What I loved most was that for most of Portal it was very logical, it didn’t feel cheap or trying to be overly difficult for no reason. While a few times I felt stumped for a bit I always was able to figure things out because the game wasn’t being cheap in any way. The voice acting for Glados was some of the best I have seen and really made what would have been a great game into a classic. The end credits still make me smile to this day. The graphics were decent for it’s time, neither mind blowing or an eye sore. They have a very clean look to them for much of the time until near the end where you get into the bowels of the facility. The clean looking rooms were nice although the more dingy parts later showed the age of the engine more. The game does a great job of dropping hints about the lore as well as tying it into the Valve universe with Half-Life.

    I played Portal on Linux. It never crashed and I didn’t notice any bugs. There are nine graphics settings; four AA settings; six AF settings; a v-sync toggle and an FOV slider that goes from 75-110. Alt-tab didn’t work. You can manually save whenever you want. Performance was fantastic which wasn’t shocking given the age of the game.

    Game Engine: Source
    Graphics API: OpenGL
    Disk Space Used: 3.88 GB

    Graphics Settings Used: 8xAA; 16x AF; 100 FOV; v-sync on; all settings at highest except blur off
    GPU Usage: 17-60 %
    VRAM Usage: 1009-1448 MB
    CPU Usage: 3-11 %
    RAM Usage: 3.1-4.2 GB
    Frame Rate: 132-144 FPS

    Portal is a game that many will enjoy and still holds up today. It was a lot of fun and combines great game play with voice acting and presentation. It also does a great job of not overdoing it and not overstaying it’s welcome. Anyone should at least try the demo to Portal. I finished it in two hours and thirty one minutes. I paid $49.99 CAD for it as part of the Orange Box years ago and it is easily worth it’s current price tag of $11.49 CAD.

    El juego es increíblemente adictivo, innovador e ingenioso. Ademas de tener un apartado artístico sublime. Desgraciadamente el juego es muy corto, durando al menos unas 3 horas, y si bien hay contenido extra al terminar el juego, este se siente como un relleno y no como algo que sume a la experiencia con nuevas mecánicas y cosas así.

La historia también siento que podría haberse explotado mucho mas. En parte me gusta lo sutil que es (lo mismo va para el diseño de niveles), sin embargo, quedan muchas cosas al aire y esa "conexion" con Half Life que intentan hacer sale de la nada misma. También siento que el humor a veces se hace pesado y la canción de los créditos es la única que destaca.
    A pesar de todo lo malo, Portal es uno de los mejores juegos de puzzle de la historia, contando con mecánicas y diseño de nivel muy buenos y gráficos y lore atrayentes, pero que no termina de explotarlo del todo como uno querría debido a su tan corta duración.    … Expand

    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.
