  • Sci-fi

One of the best puzzle games out there and, even better, full of sarcasm! If you don't know it yet, what planet are you from? Highly recommended!

The review

Without a doubt one of my favorite games!

It looks like an FPS, but Portal is a game full of really fun puzzles.

It doesn't have a very developed plot, but even so, if you stop to pay attention to GLaDOS, you'll get a few laughs.

Even though it's a short game, you can get a lot out of it: if you're an achievement fan/hunter, you'll have to play a while longer, not to mention the challenge modes, which aren't as simple as they look.

If you're a puzzle fan and still haven't played Portal (I don't know what cave you've been living in), you have to play it!
