What's great about OG Portal is not only always nice to revisit due to it's short length but also just how much it achieves in that short length. As much as I kinda prefer Portal 2 to this one, it's hard to deny that this game is absolutely perfect on every level. Great concept, puzzles that steadily get more challenging, witty humour and all sorts of little secrets. I love finding the Rattman dens but on this playthrough I, for the first time, found the Black Mesa presentation and...It's just cool y'know??

Oh! And the soundtrack, I forgot how incredible the soundtrack is. It's so eerie, it gives this game that extra level of creepiness. Honestly, it's hard to not compliment this game enough. I miss when Valve was like this.
