Have you ever wondered how it feels like to use a device
that can create portals? Well it lies in the game, Portal.
Portal is a first-person puzzle-platform video game
developed and published by Valve Corporation and released on October 9, 2007. Portal
takes place in Enrichment Center for Aperture Laboratories, also known as
Aperture Science. Portal is about how Aperture Science has been abandoned
because of an untested robot AI (Artificial Intelligents) built by the Aperture
Scientists named GLaDOS (or Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System)
released neurotoxic gas killing all the scientists. After the gas GLaDOS, she starts to use test
subjects for testing the puzzles she has built. The test subjects use portal
devices that can create portals so they can get to one place to another. All the
test subjects are eliminated because they cannot pass tests. After all the test
subjects die GLaDOS has only one test left, Chell. Chell (player) has to try to
pass all the tests, learning how to use the portal gun and pass different
puzzles and tests. The player (Chell)
has to use a portal gun to pass levels. In tests there can be different traps
such as turrets that fires at the player, toxic water, etc. In tests there are
cubes you have to place on buttons that activate a door(s). There are full of puzzles that take your wits
to figure out. At the end you have to slay GLaDOS. After you finish the game
you can play it again or you can download map, mods (modifications), or skins
that can make your portal gun look different.
What I like about this game is the puzzles that it
makes me solve. It takes my wits to figure it all out before I reach the next
level. I love the story in the game and the story behind it because it seems
really interesting and intriguing.
Portal really challenges my mind to figure out the puzzle/challenge. I
also love while you’re doing a test GLaDOS always seems to insult you if you
fail or while you’re doing a test, which is always hilarious!
But, there are cons about this game. After a while I
play the game it gets boring. There isn’t a lot of action and some tests are
just too hard to figure out. Sometimes I cannot figure out a test and have to
look it up.
I would rate this game 3 ½ out of 5.
