Another classic by valve. Surreal, a bit funny too, very original and fun, a classic.

I like this, theoretically, but motion sickness ruins it for me. Too many portals and I'm literally nauseous for the rest of the day. >_> The concept is excellent & it's clearly a well made game. Plus the soundtrack...!

It will test you're mind!
Apr 19, 2020	TheEscapist	75 _21st
Fun gameplay, but I feel the story / dialogue / humor is overhyped.
Sep 23, 2019	BadFurDay	5 _47th
Twas fun. Nice story.
Apr 02, 2019	Gnalkhere	80 _46th
Seemed like a tutorial for the second game. Sigh
Feb 23, 2019	Yasbane	95 _92nd
Love it. It takes an original puzzle concept and makes a great gameplay out of it.
Oct 28, 2018	Tanklin13	88 _97th
Enjoyed the whole game, it is short and sweet and a concept unlike any other game I have played.
Oct 23, 2018	vv238	89 _96th
Portal is a game of decent and unique mechanics, maybe a little dry, but decent. What elevates it is the story, character, and unparalleled atmosphere. It might now be a horrible meme but the fact that the simple sentence: "the cake is a lie" can be mysterious, funny, and terrifying, all at the same time, is a testament to how well this game is put together.

The sadistic humor of the overseeing computer G.L.A.D.O.S. is really what makes the game, as challenging and innovative as the puzzles were. What you remember is G.L.A.D.O.S. This game has become so quotable. This was a triumph....

Portal is the perfect puzzle game for one single reason. It's actually challenging. Each level makes great use of the physics and mechanics built into the game.
Aug 21, 2018	lethias	91 _50th
A new concept back in the day and a great one, too!
Jun 13, 2018	Bobbles	83 _80th
The humor is a little too zany sometimes, but that's the worst thing I can say about this game.
Apr 15, 2018	Xenophule	8 _20th
A great game all around! But could be better.
Mar 02, 2018	TheDiceman	70 _27th
Unique puzzle game about a cake.
Feb 23, 2018	Jimmy Suede	100 _96th
If there is a downside, it's that this is a short game. But I'll take what I can get, because this is still perhaps my favorite computer game of all time.
Feb 12, 2018	DavidBlast	100 _87th
Really? I'm the first one to write 'The cake is a lie!'? Well, it's a dirty job but...
Feb 05, 2018	Drevenant	87 _37th
An inventive, hilarious, and replayable classic.
Jan 28, 2018	SamuraiPaul	96 _92nd
Would be better if I could invert the x camera axis but since it's a puzzle game I'll forgive it.
Jan 24, 2018	auritech	90 _0th
Short but sweet!
Jan 22, 2018	CMonster	90 _86th
Puzzle platforming at it's best. This is the type of game that makes me sad valve has devolved into 3 things: DOTA, CS:GO lootboxes, and running steam.
Jan 16, 2018	philamental	80 _51st
An absolute innovation upon release. Portal was originally only available as part of the Valve Orange Box compilation, which may have been because they didn't know how to market what was almost an extended tech demo. It's a first person physics based puzzle game with some levels lasting mere seconds. The game itself can be completed in minutes, but most will be challenged for a good few hours. A cult classic, Portal paved the way for a full blown sequel which surpassed all expectations.
Jan 15, 2018	hellboy76	82 _73rd
I never finished this, it hurt my brain too much. I love the concept and the originality and dark humor, but yeah. Puzzles.
Jan 14, 2018	lisa-	6 _70th
while not quite as interesting as some other puzzle games, its craft is near flawless.
Jan 14, 2018	Bown	85 _67th
So much damn fun. A great little experience.
Jan 14, 2018	Ocelot	85 _94th
a timeless classic.
Jan 13, 2018	CosmicMonkey	98 _99th
Portal is nearly a perfect game,In it's concise 2-3 hour length, it features not just great brain-teasing gameplay, but also the most brilliant black humour of any video game, powered by a great voice-acting performance by Ellen McLain. If you havn't played it yet, you absolutely owe it yourself to do so.
