Unique puzzles, with quirky and fun story
Portal deals out a great adventure of puzzles to go along with a fun story that is told by a quirky computer. The game looks and feels like Half-Life naturally, but that is about the only similarity between the two. The idea of using portals to navigate through puzzle rooms is genius. It is refreshing and amazingly fun to play. The game isn't very long, but like most puzzle games, it can't be too long without being overly repetitive. The length is just right.
It's a great game that will keep you enthralled. You can beat it in an afternoon, but there are also challenges and advanced maps to check out after that to keep you coming back.
