Helllooooo fellow gamers. Welcome to my review of Portal!
Portal is a game distributed by EA and developed by Valve. Introduced on the Orange Box, it is heralded as one of the best games of all time and father of the internet meme "The cake is a lie.". But what makes this game tick? Let's begin thinking in portals in this week's review.
The game's beginning starts off simple. You are finally ready to begin testing Aperature science technology after a long sleep in stasis. For the first few levels you begin gaining parts to modify the Aperature science hand-held portal device. The game's controls run smooth like cutting melted butter.
After a while you begin to see that things are changing. As the chambers get harder and harder you will notice that panels on the walls are being held open. Inside are writings and pictures on the walls, creepy spine-tingling messages and photographs.
The game gets extremely fun as the game gets harder.I liked plotting the death of those creepy turret things that I'm afraid will be standing at my front door tomorrow morning. (I'm just kidding, I live in a cave, I don't have a DOOR.). Or even using Sir Issac Newton pleasing jumps using portals to fling yourself 50 feet forward.
The story line is easy to understand, at times twisted, a little funny and a little AWESOME. I loved to hear GlaDOS yell at me or make fun of me in her funny little creepy computer voice. It felt extremely real, and it worked.
Portal is the best game I've ever beaten, only barely beating Fallout 3. It gets 10 morality cores, out of 10.
See you later gamers!
