    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

    A great game, it is a classic. This game is a must-play for everyone. It can not be explained in words how great this game is.

    Portal deserves a solid 9/10. Maybe it is not as polished as Portal 2 in terms of maps and gameplay, but the fundament is absolutely outstanding.

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

    Game is really good. Minimalistic surroundings of laboratory facility are background for nice, yet thought provoking, story full of humour. Portal definitely has aged well and still is great experience even in 2020.

    This game is short but enjoyable. Good puzzles and a very good story, ( creepy and scary at some point). The principal tool is simple but gives a lot of game to the gameplay. Recommended and buy it in the steam sale for 2$

    While i love Portal 2 more, the original Portal is still a fantastic game, timeless.

    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.

    The best puzzle game ive ever played. The level design is fantastic and well thought. This game really stimulates your brain with the puzzles. The dialogue is charming. Glados is one of the most well-written robots ever. The graphics look typical for a Valve game but still kinda hold up. I highly reccomend this game. 10/10

    Really well thought out game, although a bit short. When playing it, you're never bored, and the puzzles are never frustrating to complete.

    Some things in the game are not explained It is explained in Portal 2 If there was no Portal 2, it would be unfinished so 8 points.

    It's nearly perfect, while the 2nd is fully perfect. The humor is darkly spot-on and caused me to laugh out loud multiple times, which I don't do often when playing/watching something. It's very short, with the professional play-through time being about 45 minutes, but it's endlessly intriguing and unnerving and hilarious. When the plot kicks in is when it really gets crazy.

    Portal - это логическая игра в The Orange Box. Единственная шпилька из «оранжевого трио», в которой вам пригодятся мозги.

    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.

    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.
