a great introduction to the series. weak on story and gets a bit challenging at times if you aren't used to the controls, but it's still a classic. the feeling of overcoming a difficult puzzle always feels fantastic. originally played on windows, replayed on switch.

short but fun.worth playing it

Short but fun with entertaining puzzles. Got me very emotionally attached to a cube. May it rest in peace.

I can't remember if I ever even finished it
But the puzzles were fun and very unique!
You know, the Portal way

Did not finish this game due to a very late puzzle that requires perfect timing and reflexes. You can't make a cerebral puzzle game that's all about thinking and then expect the player to have unreasonably quick physical reflexes right at the end. It's an unfair shift.

Finally played it a decade after I only played Portal 2. While it isn't nearly as flushed out as it's sequel, it's still an excellent first entry in the series and holds up in story, gameplay, and graphics to this day.
