Portal
Description (IGDB)
Portal was an ambitious attempt to tell a story with the depth of a novel and the interactivity of a game, sitting somewhere between interactive fiction and simulation of a computer system.
Histoire (IGDB)
Where are all the humans? Upon returning from your 100 year voyage in the milky way, you find earth empty and abandoned. Between the decaying remnants of civilization, you discover a terminal for Worldnet, the global network that recorded all human activities. The answer must lie deep in its database. Anxious, you log on. Portal is a computer novel - an attempt of creating and adapting a novel specifically for the computer. The story of the boy Peter Devore, his incredible discovery and the mysterious portal are told by an AI named Homer, who reconstructs it piece by piece out of database fragments. As the plot develops, you acquire accompanying information by accessing eleven additional databases - for example a historical archive, military files or social backgrounds. As you switch between the databases to uncover new details, an extensive sci-fi story unfolds.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Just as Valve's Half-Life 2 is the moody loner to Halo 3's high-school quarterback, Portal is smarter, cooler, funnier, and more sinister than almost any game this year. »
« Portal can be bought separately or as part of the Orange Box package – Half-Life 2, Episodes 1 and 2, and Team Fortress 2 – but either way you get one of the best gaming experiences of the year. »
« Portal, tucked neatly alongside four other games, outshines them all and ensures itself a place in posterity. »
« From beginning to end, it's hard to find something not to like about Portal. Everything from the gameplay to the presentation are top-notch. »
« Putting Portal into the Orange Box package was a great idea on Valve's part. »
« One of the best single-player experiences of the year. »
« Portal is a magnificent puzzle game. The titillating wrongness of every solution and the wonky thinking required to get there make you feel like a space-folding genius, and yet you'll almost never get stuck. »
« It may be the least hyped part of the Orange Box but Portal is a strong addition to the lineup and really stands out on its own. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« The best game that’s soulful yet challenging, the I can count of one hand the amount of games that are this good, short but meaningful. A classic, companion cube is the goat, and for its time, games that come out recently haven’t the quality of this game that came out for what felt like a century ago. 10/10 »
« Mecánica y concepto innovadores y brillantes, puzzles y gráficos a la altura. Buena historia y diseño de nivel. Todo lo que intenta lo hace bien. Simple pero perfecto. »
« Great game. Amazing and intuitive puzzle design, only downside is that there not much of it. »
« Portal es un juego que revolucionó los juegos de puzzles, con una historia muy buena, buenos plot twists y ademas de un gran villano final. Es muy bueno, sin embargo, puede provocar demasiados mareos Mi nota: 8,5 »
