Portal: Vinyl Verdict
by rampersand
It's taken me two months to get around to writing this review of a game that doesn't take two hours to complete, but here it is! The Good: Portal's writing is still funny and fresh. Its concept is still entirely unique. And the advanced versions of Test Chambers 13-18 (which I'd never attempted before) made for a real challenge, taking me longer to complete than the entirety of the game in norm...

The Good: Portal's writing is still funny and fresh. Its concept is
still entirely unique. And the advanced versions of Test Chambers 13-18 (which
I'd never attempted before) made for a real challenge, taking me
longer to complete than the entirety of the game in normal mode.
The Bad: Puzzles and plot twists don't pack the same punch when they're
already familiar. Plus, Portal's graphics already look dated.
The Stand-out Moment: Nothing can top Chell's escape from her "victory candescence"!
The Verdict: 8.5 (out of 10)
