Wonderfully creative puzzle games, I think I might slightly prefer the simplicity of the first, but Portal 2 boots a superior narrative that has its own kind of charm. Played it on and off for a little over half a year but I had a blast going through both games. There's a range of puzzles that go from pretty easy to actually really challenging to wrap your brain around, which I love. It doesn't hand hold and it's so much more satisfactory to get through as a result. Two fantastically charming games that are classics for a reason, they're just fun, unique and uniquely challenging. Valve really do make some damn great games, them and Remedy are slowly becoming two of my favourite game studios just because of the love and passion put into each project and how they push what a game can and should be, either through pure gameplay or through unique methods of storytelling and worldbuilding.
Really such a great couple of games.

Note: I couldn’t find Portal 1 for switch so this review is only based on Portal 1. Once I get around to beating 2 I will edit the review and include my thoughts on that game.
I only played this game recently, but it’s one I could see myself playing every few months when Ive got an evening with nothing to do otherwise. It truly is the definition of short and sweet.

Both games are fun and witty, Portal 2 takes the whole thing up a notch. I am not a puzzle gamer but the dialogue alone makes this whole game a 4 Stars game. Sometimes in the late midgame comes a part i did get stuck a lot...well, i am no puzzlegamer but this was frustrating and took a bit of enjoyment out of the game for me
