    Portal is a game that gives you a glimpse into a really intriguing world without giving you too much information or overstaying its welcome. 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

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.
    I beat this game in June of 2020 after beating it several times before.

    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.

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

    Yes, i know Portal was short and it lacked a more complete story but... This game was such an artistic masterpiece. Portal's Meta narrative certainly helped the industry to move toward more complicated stories and the gameplay (back in 2007) was something so new and innovative that revolutionized how developers designed a video game.

    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$

    After playing Portal you will realize that Valve can offer a new thing without sacrificing anything else, it's just a shame that we never got episode 3 and we will never get, nowadays i use steam a lot alongside buying retail copies but if steam was the reason valve stopped making games, it wasn't worth it.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For me, this game is a seriously different puzzle game. I have never seen a game where I opened a portal and completed puzzles.

    The part I hate the most about Portal is that it ends so fast and is a little easy

    But I have to say that the boss system of this game is a little better for me. It gave me a good feeling to take the falling flat boots and burn them to kill Glados XD I think I'm a villain.

    I will give 8 points for this game

    Portal is a fun experiment by Valve with interesting implications to the greater Half life Universe.

    Portal never really escapes the feeling of being an overgrown tech demo even at its most creative or sinister.

    Portal is a fantastic game. If you like puzzles and they do get a but tricky then its the game for you. It seems simple but has a darker story behind it and I love that in games. Theres also a surprising amount you can do after you beat it with the bonus maps and trying to get gold on all of them which would be the hardest part of the portal game experience.

    La banda sonora es casi nula, en los pocos casos que la música este presente, será de acuerdo a la ambientación psicológica del juego (soledad) osea, son tonalidades de tipo melancólicas.

Where a robotic voice speaks to him and tells him that he will have to pass all the test chambers that will be placed on him. Later she tells us that by passing all the tests she will be rewarded with a cake and that we can also go with a team of psychologists, but, as she progresses, she will realize that all this was a farce. And she will be forced to escape from there no matter what, so that in the end, Chell in her attempt to escape ends up encountering the machine that was talking to her all the time, named GLaDOS, and finally Chell "destroys" her and " escape" from Aperture Science".

    In conclusion, Portal is a video game that has more virtues than flaws, and it ends up being an entertaining video game, with a somewhat confusing story that leaves us with more questions than answers, but in the end it is still a good video game and nothing more.

    The 2nd best puzzle game ever made, only second to it's sequel. The character writing and world building that takes place is just spectacular especially for such a short game.

    The life of each of us is a period of trials and difficulties that we overcome from the first days of our existence in this World! We open our eyes and see everything around us, and take our first steps, and hear the first words around us! Let's try from the first moments to look at everything around us, draw some conclusions and understand who we are in this World, and what surrounds us here? But what if we get a Portal gun?
    We will then be able to open Portals and move anywhere, and it doesn't matter if we can walk or talk, or do something else, because we will have some kind of weapon in our hands as joyfully limitless possibilities!

    10/10.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games of all time. The ending is just great. If you haven't played it yet, play it now! Unfortunately, it's very short, which doesn't bother me because I've already played it 5 times, and the developer console adds to the fun. Expand

    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.

    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!!
    And don't worry. Cake is not a lie. PUZZLES ARE GREAT!!!

    Ein absolutes Meisterwerk. Anfangs dachte ich, oh man was ein lahmer Shooter. Tja, wie man sich irren kann.

    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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
