About

Every single time you click your mouse while holding a gun, you expect bullets to fly and enemies to fall. But here you will try out the FPS game filled with environmental puzzles and engaging story.
Silent template for your adventures, Chell, wakes up in a testing facility. She’s a subject of experiments on instant travel device, supervised by snarky and hostile GLaDOS.
Players will have to complete the tests, room by room, expecting either reward, freedom or more tests. By using the gun, that shoots portals (Portal-Gun™), players will move blocks, travel great distance quickly and learn about your current situation, which is unraveled through environmental storytelling. What you will be told might be different from what you will see.
White environments will guide the player’s portal placement, forcing them to pay attention to the surroundings. Portal creates tension, allowing either solving puzzles at your own leisure or moving quickly, due to the time limit or threats.

Portal reviews and comments

Simple and clean.
A through and through perfect experience.
«Blew my mind»
«Time-tested»
So addicting, and a quick play!
Portal is a game that will introduce you to one of the best game series ever made. This game mixes comedy and mystery to tell you a complex story with complex characters that you will never forget. Simply an icon of videogames.
«Blew my mind»
«That ending!»
N PORTAL IS FUCKING MIND BLEW
A masterclass of game design
«Blew my mind»
Portal is a good tech demo but a boring short game. There is no point in playing Portal when there is Portal 2, which did everything better.
!!!
«Can’t stop playing»
One of the best puzzle games of all time.  I'm still thinking with portals
