Portal Reviews (original) (raw)

Portal, tucked neatly alongside four other games, outshines them all and ensures itself a place in posterity.

One of the best single-player experiences of the year.

Fait partie de mon top 10 de mes jeux préférés de tout les temps ! 1 idée de gameplay = 1 jeu = 1 chef d'oeuvre ! Et GLaDOS !

This game is awesome great job valve. Very good game. Play if you. Have ps3. And pc

It may be the least hyped part of the Orange Box but Portal is a strong addition to the lineup and really stands out on its own.

The idea stolen shamelessly from Prey, masterful implementation and... you won’t know when these three hours have passed. Zipping through portals and placing them on the fly (literally) makes for loads of fun, and the authors spice up the play with quite a story that’s not immediately visible and all the more enjoyable when discovered.

Skilled players will portal their way through the nineteen levels in just a few hours, but this little puzzle game / tech demo provides plenty of entertainment and makes a great addition to The Orange Box.

It may be short, but it's a wonderful learning experience, forcing you to rethink rather base concepts of the first-person genre. [Dec 2007, p.68]

By anyone's reckoning Portal isn't a long game, weighing in at around the three to four hour mark. Those of you who do see this game from start to end though are in for a very special experience.

un très bon jeu avec de très bonne mécanique mafois un peu cour mais très très bon ,en plus a 1 euro sur steam ,ta quoi à un euro maintenant ? Rien appart ce très bon jeu( en promo )

It's Excellent. It's a very good and short little game that has very unique and very well executed game design. This game is worth your time, and very enjoyable through and through, but in 2025 just go play Portal 2, you're missing little to nothing by playing Portal 2 and not Portal 1.

Sou um grande fã dos jogos da valve mas devo confessar que Portal nao é uma experiencia que me agradou muito.Diversas pessoas elogiam a imersao do jogo, coisa que nao presenciei em minha jogatina. Para mim foram apenas vários puzzles legalzinhos com uma história por trás.

The game is too easy. I fine with it early to mid game but the late game should be little harder. Besides the atmosphere (which was not enough), nothing really happens in the game.

Proof of concept - and I guess that's what this game was supposed to be. Well yeah, so it was decent for what it was?

Summary Portal is a new single player game from Valve. Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and offers gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environmen...
