The Good
- Portals prove a well-conceived and brilliantly executed core puzzle mechanism
- one of gaming’s most memorable characters
- clever script
- surprisingly intriguing backdrop gradually teased out
- hilarious closing credit song.
The Bad
- Environments are a little bland
- while a mixed blessing to leave players wanting more, the main storyline is extremely short.
Our Verdict
Excellent
A superb game that excels in just about every area, held back only by one or two notable flaws or a collection of smaller ones that prevent the game from earning full marks.
Whether or not you leap, Portal is a one-of-a-kind experience that’s well worth every gamer looking into. Just take your time and enjoy, because “speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out” and it’s over all too soon.
