Short review:
Ok, I just want to share a little thought about Portal. It is useless to discuss how perfect it is. One of the best successful experiments in videogame history, whose potential is squeezed to the core in its sequel, but it is clear that the first is absolutely no less.

What I really wanted to focus on was my interpretation of events. I have never heard anyone say this, but as soon as I finished the game I had this feeling: the story of Portal, although very simple, is a kind of representation of the Stockholm syndrome. The character of GLaDOS is an explosive concentrate of humor, wickedness and passive aggression, and as much as you can hate her as much as you love her, throughout the course of events, I never really had the idea of eliminating her. Being in the shoes of Chell, i.e. alone, locked up in a laboratory and not knowing how and why I am there, my only guide is an AI who sees me as a disposable laboratory rat, who cares absolutely nothing, but at the at the same time without it I would lose my only point of reference. And that made me grow fond of that evil voice. A different affection from the simple thought: "Man, I love this character". We pass from hatred to a sense of total loss due to her absence, so much that we ask ourselves "what now?".







Yeah basically I don't know how to finish this review so if you are still reading, Still Alive > Want You Gone ok bye
