A perfectly short Portal skinned SteamDeck controls introduction, that doesn't hold back any of its punches with that classic Valve humor, and the great return of Cave Johnson. NameBrand.
With such a short experience (exactly 30 minutes for me), I don't have much to say! It does everything it was designed to do, that being, to introduce new SteamDeck users to its wide variety of controls, and then some.
The writing is witty, fun, and has the classic Portal/Valve feel. This combined with the return of J.K. Simmons for a few more voice lines of Cave Johnson just made my heart ache for a longer experience so that I could continue to exist in that universe... Remember when Valve made games? Man... Maybe it was designed to give me the nostalgia bug - after this, I made sure to install Portal and Portal 2.
That aside, it could be enjoyed by anyone who doesn't own a SteamDeck and is just itching for more Portal stuff, but if you do own a SteamDeck, it's a rich little experience that will make you wish Valve would just commit and release a game with a freakin' 3.
