Look up the words "aged poorly" and you'll get this game. It's unbearable without ROM hacks and save states, which is how I got through it. At the very least, it set the stage for the far better Castlevania II.

Fantastic game, so good that I even re-visited it and 100%ed the map TWICE! The only true difficulty spikes were the Death boss fight and the Arena, but I sometimes wonder if I was simply under prepared. My new favorite GBA game!

Very funny and quirky physics based puzzler. The one star off is for two things, only one of which applies to the Switch version specifically: the Switch version runs very poorly on the later maps, dipping even into the single digits when things get messy, and in all of the versions, the grabbing some times just doesn't work, and your arms occasionally even fold behind your head and get stuck. Otherwise, very fun game! Many fun times were had in co-op.

Fantastic beginning to a solid series! My only gripe is the length; I was able to beat the entire game in one sitting, and I never felt compelled to go back and do the challenge stages. But aside from that this game is absolutely fantastic! Will definitely mess with your brain!

Honestly? This is really, really solid for a free tech demo. Very short, but full of the same charm and wit Portal is known for. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is the control scheme; unless you're playing it on a Steam Deck, you will have a rough time with the controls. I'm lucky because I have a Steam Controller, but even that wasn't enough to fully poke around with everything. Also, the name segment with the mic didn't work on my end.

Really, really solid action RPG! Everyone's really lovable and cute and the whole game just works very well. The 4 stars is because it's a bit easy to get lost in terms of where to go and there's alot that you have to do to actually 100% the game (which I didn't do because that would take WAYYYY too long)

Absolutely fantastic game from start to finish; this game really worked my brain! I really enjoyed the levels featuring older versions of the Aperture test chambers, and I think Wheatley is hilarious, both as the good guy and the bad guy. After having played Portal 1 prior, I never expected GLaDOS to become the good gal.
