    Ah, Portal. A game of logic and puzzles. It's all about you, the portal gun and the levels. Nothing more. But, a bad thing of the game is that is VERY short. I think Portal 2 is bigger.

    Portal is a very unique, interesting and fun game that challenges you in many different ways and is one of the best puzzle game series of all time. The only real problem with this game is its short length, but to be fair it is pretty cheap to buy, so its not that big a deal, so I would still recommend this game to anyone looking for a new, unique and fun time.

    Challenging and puzzling but at the same time not painstakingly boring. If I had the option to change anything about this game, I don't think I would change anything, right down from the pacing to the level design.

    REVIEW: If we are being honest, Portal is not a puzzle game, despite many claims to the contrary. It is a "puzzle-ish" game for people who like shooters. I liked that it was difficult to die, since it made it easier to focus on finding solutions to the "puzzles", but even with easy deaths the hard part about this game isn't figuring out what to do, it is doing it with somewhat fiddly controls (played using an XBOX 360 controller). Still, if the game disappoints on puzzle satisfaction, it really delivers on dry humor. Your handler, GLADOS is very funny and when she sings the credits song you can't help but grin. The graphics are still shiny (some texture mapping looks bad, but doesn't detract too badly) even after 6 years, which is no small feat as games start to age. As others have said, the level of difficulty will probably see you finishing the base game in less than 3 hours, even if you get stuck-a disadvantage since it significantly boosts your $ cost per hour of entertainment. This also hurts a decision to buy because Portal introduced no really new elements to physics puzzlers nor did it do them especially better, it seems to owe its current popularity to previously high reviews (much like Angry Birds).

    Still, one of the best measures of a game is whether you'll remember it after you're done, and I have to say I will remember Portal. Just don't spend more than $5 on it.

    POST EDIT: I never expected to get a response to a review, but it seems some people don't agree that Portal may have been somewhat unoriginal in using a FPP on a puzzle game. Here's the thing: "Real Myst" (which implemented the developers original intention to allow a player to walk freely about the puzzle environments) was released in 2000 (i.e. much earlier than "Portal"), so you can't claim freedom of movement as revolutionary in a puzzle game (even if you did, there are zillions of node-based games I still consider to have done FPP puzzle first). Does slapping a "puzzle-gun" in your hands justify a "revolutionary" epithet? I think not.    … Expand

    Simply one of the most epic game of the past 10 years, only one defect,too short,maybe at your first play it can be hard ,but essentially the lack of longevity of the title is the only flaw, apart from that.

    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.

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.

    Portal gets really hard, really fast. The first 10 to 20 levels are way too easy, and onward its way too challenging. The challenge kicks in way too fast. But as a port of the Orange Box, it is worth buying, but separetly, well... do you like really like challenges?

    Portal!!
    After the game's got so much critical acclaim, seems like there's not much to add, only to ask myself how didn't I play it sooner.
    I would start then with a very short list of the things that DID bother me, First, well, the length of course. Nothing new here. I do believe it simply wasn't meant to be too long in the first place but more like a side content to The Orange Box    Portal!!

    I would start then with a very short list of the things that DID bother me,
    First, well, the length of course. Nothing new here. I do believe it simply wasn't meant to be too long in the first place but more like a side content to The Orange Box back in the day, but still.
    Also, soundtrack was a little disappointing in my opinion.
    And, before completing the main game, I've seen that there are "challenges" and "advanced maps", and imagined that they would add more content to the game, but figured out later that these are merely a revisions of the original maps from the campaign.

    So, just let me confess here, that Portal didn't completely live up to my expectations. (~Hiding myself from possibly thrown objects~)
    As this game is so positively accepted I did expect something more.
    Being so short and the lack of additional content in the base game didn't help much.
    It was fun but ended too soon, and the story just felt... meeeh.
    And the challenges started to feel too crazy for me as soon as they started depending on trial and error or some luck, facts which I don't like!

    I did grow a lot fonder of Portal as I played through the developers commentary.
    Hearing their thoughts and the game-making process made me appreciate everything much more, somehow.
    I even liked better that "Still Alive" song which at first seemed bizarre and weird to me.

    Anyway, I'm not going to fully review this game and describe all of it's good aspects, because you probably know them already, and if not (!?) then you should experience it yourself, even by trying the demo.
    Just wanted to share my little story of falling in love with the game.

    Portal is without a doubt a very extraordinary puzzle game, brilliantly original, and I doubt we'll ever see any other game of the kind. Many other games tried to follow Portal's lead and so far I didn't encounter much success among these attempts.

    It goes constantly on sale, and it's actually worth the full price of 10$ as well.

    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.

    Also, after you clear game story-line (which I have to say it's actually really short, like 3 hours) you have access to challenges and bonus maps to test yourself and it's awesome.

    An extremely smart, witty game that is satisfying in every possible way. The puzzles are quite challenging, but you rarely get stuck because the solutions are intuitive. Loved the puzzles, loved the sinister A.I.'s deadpan humor, and absolutely adored the end song Still Alive.

    The puzzles were fairly standard during the earlier levels, and it wasn't until later where more complex thinking was required. But for me, it's not the puzzles that make Portal good, but rather the whole atmosphere and setting of the game. I found myself not really looking forward to the puzzles as I was looking forward to the next piece of voice acting that would showcase Portal's brilliant dark humour. But dig a little deeper and you notice that behind the humorous facade, is a rather disturbing and sad story. Finding the Ratman dens adds a layer of suspense and the ambient soundtrack emphasises the sense of loneliness and isolation. None of this is explicitly told either, rather you're guided to make these conclusions by more subtle hints.

    I'm also impressed that the game successfully made me feel sorry for my Companion Cube, despite it being an inanimate object. Love the credits song too.

    Portal as a start was just an experiment solely for the physics heavy portal mechanic that a small team in Valve got to work on, this meant that they didn't have a big budget and had to cut corners, which lead to what made the game so good. They had to cut all the unnecessary fat from it leaving us a short game where everything that was in it needed to be there making a short but great experience.

    There's not much to say about this one that hasn't already been said. And yes, I know I'm nearly a decade behind the times, but I finally got this in 2016 and loved it just as much now as I would have when it released. I generally hate first-person games, but this one hooked me hard and didn't let go, mostly through the writing, humour and ingenious puzzles. A masterpiece.

This is a truly unique game, one that inspires the future industry and will give rise to even greater game-play mechanisms. Aside from the game-play, the atmosphere provided by the characters and story are amazing. That clinical feeling, where everything is so white and bright like a hospital that it is suspicious of hiding its darkness and reddened of blood walls. Glados, who is hands down, one of the most memorable characters ever, acting like a mother so caring that she is suspicious of hiding her psychopathy. The humor adds to it as well and wraps up the game in a nice package that can more easily be delivered to whatever person that doesn't dislike the concept of fun. The puzzles were quite easy though, but that makes it more enjoyable for a broader audience. You can recommend this game to nearly everybody which makes it even more genius.… Expand

    Portal is a contemporary version of Chaplin’s Modern Times.

The main character is a woman stuck in the machine, but the contemporary machine is no longer constraining the individual through repetitive body movements in order to produce material goods. The contemporary machine plays with our emotions in order to create science. What kind of science? It is probably neuroscience. GLaDOS is not really testing a gun that makes portals. It is testing Chell’s emotional reactions. GLaDOS is fascinated by the human mind the same fashion a taxidermist is fascinated with animals. Portal 2 even explains this obsession. A lot more could be said, but not without spoilers, so play this game if you haven’t already.… Expand

Released basically as a stocking stuffer and an apology for he long wait between Half-Life Episodes 1 and 2, Portal managed to become something entirely of its own caliber. It is an incredibly well-done experimental physics-based puzzle game that has become one of gaming's centerpiece masterworks.

    The game does exactly what it advertises: you go through some well thought-out and intuitive portal-based puzzles through a very short, but memorable campaign. Added with some witty and dark humor, provided by your instructor, GLaDOS, the game is incredibly well done, with a tight focus and nothing wasted. GLaDOS herself has become one of gaming's icons due to her excellent dialogue that makes her so lovable despite the fact that she puts you through life-threatening situations constantly and then outright tries to kill you, with the credits theme becoming so well known that people who don't even play video games can recognize it.

    In the game, you use your "Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device", or just the Portal Gun, to shoot portals onto surfaces that connect one point to another. The concept is used to its fullest, with just a handful of mechanics going a very long way with multiple iterations on the same concept that never feel stale. Through the use of portals you'll use momentum to launch yourself across chasms, redirect energy balls into receptacles on the other side of the room, drop cubes onto buttons from the far end of the area, drop cubes onto sentry turrets to knock them over, and a bunch of other things that will test your mind and your resourcefulness, the later levels especially requiring some thinking and a lot of times quick reflexes. The concept is so simple, yet is used in so many varying ways that it's just a blast to figure out all the puzzles that always incorporate iterations of things you've already learned. Though there is a somewhat harsh difficulty curve towards the later end of the game, it's certainly not insurmountable if you've got the wits and the perseverance for it (looking at you, Chamber 18).

    The game is damn brilliant and there's nothing else like it... well, except for Portal 2, but even then, Portal itself stands as a very compelling and experimental little project that is fun and charming while also testing your mind and patience with some of the more difficult puzzles the game has to offer. Though a small game, and while some may lament this fact, I personally think the length is perfect for what it is. Portal is definitely one of those games that everyone should play at least once, because chances are nothing like it will come out ever again.    … Expand

The portal gun is an incredibly well-designed and very interesting concept, and you’ll be hard-pressed to not muck around it at least once in the campaign. Throughout the game, new concepts such as turrets are added in to make more a challenge. The humour is great, with GLADoS’ dialogue being written nice, but the game also knows where to stop itself, a large reason why the game is so hilarious. The game looks pretty good for a 2007 game. It’s not bad looking by any stretch of the imagination, and you shouldn’t be playing this game for its visuals. To rap things up, Portal is a must-play due to its unique take on the first-person shooter genre, and while you might be scared of its short length, picking it up in the Orange Box is a brilliant idea.… Expand

    Story

    The story of portal is fairly simple with a lot of undertones and lore for the player to interpret. You start off in a test chamber and are filled with the duty to run the experiment. As it turns out, While the base story is very simple it serves the purpose to motivate the player enough to get to the end. However, if you look into the lore it provides a much deeper context to the game. Small tidbit, the portal universe actually takes place in the same universe as half-life and there's a rivalry going on between aperture labs and black mesa. Another point towards the story is the subtle storytelling through the game art and walls. Kinda like Metroid and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild.

    -
    Gameplay
    The gameplay is where this game really shines through like a hidden gem. It makes use of the brilliantly made portal gun to solve puzzles on the next level. You can use it for various situations like using momentum to launch yourself higher or transport other objects like a companion cube. You really have to play it to know it but overall the gameplay serves its purpose well for this type of game.

    Presentation
    I'm not much of a graphics guy so i'll keep this segment short. The graphics in this game are well done. And by 2007 standards this game makes great use of the source engine. It's not Crysis but it does look good and runs really well.

    The puzzles are really well-designed. They are neither too hard that you lose the incentive to play, nor too easy that you don't enjoy them that much.

    The humour, on the other hand, is where Portal excels. Very well-written dialogues and the tension overall is what makes it maybe the best puzzle game ever.

    This game was originally about a princess, which was you, who had a magic crown or something that was able to make portals on the spot. You found yourself in a cave. This cave had various obstacles through the way and was, to be honest, way too short. Valve decided that this idea wasn't going to work, as there was no way a cave could be super long. They decided that a lab could, however, so they changed the idea to that. They made the basic stuff that they had in the princess game, which I forgot the name of while making this review, and found out, "What will we put for the Portal making thing?" They thought, "Well, we've made all these not shown guns for Half-Life, why don't we use one of them?" They found one that was almost PERFECT for the Portal theme, and kept it. They designed almost forty labs in the making of the very FIRST LEVEL. THE FIRST ONE.    … Expand

Completing the puzzles is really satisfiying and the storyline keeps asking you to move forward to continue to know what's next. If you have a computer than can run games and you have never played Portal, what the heck are you waiting for?… Expand

    It has interesting puzzles, hilarious dialogue, and unique gameplay mechanics, but lacks a variety of scenery.

    This game is simplistic and unique at the same time. Never played such an innovative puzzle game before and although there's not much plot, but what's there is in itself very interesting.

    Every single-player Valve game is a masterpiece on its own. The introduction to the Portal world is a fun-sized extraordinary game that I will cherish for ever.

    Portal is a classic, one of Valve's pinacles...
    Even after 11 years (since I'm replaying it on 2018), its fantastic, impressive graphically, for its time.
    For anyone who has never heard of Portal, is a first person futuristic puzzle game. The game is extremely challenging and fun, it could be very fast passed but sometimes you really need to use your brain to sort things out. One of    Portal is a classic, one of Valve's pinacles...

    A very interesting puzzle game with a portal system. Very beautiful surroundings and simply excellent comments of artificial intelligence. This game is a masterpiece.

    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.

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

    I bear no grudge against Valve's hats, but I really wish they would come back to making these awesome games. Portal is an amazing game that has aged amazingly well and absolutely everyone should play it.

    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.
