About Portal

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 will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life® 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation. Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space.

Exactly what I hoped for

Portal is a game that is old but gold or ages like fine wine still a really good and fun game to play and great graphics for a game made in 2007 and very repayable and one of the best games for it's time with mixing portals and puzzles and it just works. The achievements are not to hard but still a challenge to get but won't take to long to get. Great story. Great soundtrack. Fun puzzle game. None I had no issues with this game. The achievements are not to hard to get some are missable but if you follow a guide then you will be fine and the game does not take the long to 100%. The hardest achievement for me to get was because getting gold on all challenge maps does take a while and you won't always get it first try and you have to be very strict with your movements and what you do but other then that the other achievements where not that hard to get at all. If you are looking for a fun short puzzle game to play and 100% that still has a bit of a challenge then this game is for you it took me about 7 hours to 100% but you could probably do it in less time if you wanted to speed run it would I buy this game at full price? its only 13$ CAD but if you wanted to wait for it to go on sale that's fair as the game does go on sale often for like 3-5$ CAD. 11/10

Worth every hour

If you're reading reviews for Portal all you need to know is that it's one of the cornerstones of gaming's golden age. It's short and excellent.
