Despite being enjoyable, I feel as though Portal has lost a lot of the impact that it may have had in the past. Because Portal permeates the cultural zeitgeist, I feel as though I have seen and absorbed a lot of this game via cultural osmosis. The novelty of the portal gun has worn due to my familiarity with pieces due to Portal 2, and I feel as though the humor and writing isn't as striking as it may have been in the past. Although I did chuckle at points, I found some of the humor to be somewhat tedious and uninspired due to it being copied later on from games like Borderlands 2 and Cyberpunk. It is still fun, but not necessarily a must play, even if it is an important part of gaming history.
