Chell wakes up in a decaying Aperture Science lab and must solve test chambers with a portal gun, accompanied by a nervy robot and a vengeful AI. It turns physics puzzles into one of the funniest games ever written. A separate two-player co-op campaign is just as clever.
Kit's verdict · 9.7/10
Near-flawless puzzle design married to genuinely hilarious writing.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Brilliant, escalating puzzles
- Laugh-out-loud writing and voice acting
- Excellent co-op campaign
Not so much
- Little replay value once solved
- Some long stretches between chambers
Play it if anyone who likes clever puzzles and great comedy.
Skip it if players who want action or combat.

Tips
Play it better
- Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out: fall into a floor portal to fling yourself across gaps.
- Look for white, flat panels; only those accept portals.
- Repulsion gel bounces you, propulsion gel speeds you up, and conversion gel lets you put portals anywhere it lands.
- Use light bridges as shields against turrets.
- In co-op, use the ping tool to point exactly where your partner should place a portal.
- If stuck, think about what in the room you haven't used yet; every element matters.
