Portal is an innovative first-person puzzle game developed by Valve and published by Valve Corporation in 2007. The game was part of The Orange Box compilation and quickly gained acclaim for its unique gameplay and original story.
Unlike traditional shooters, Portal focuses on solving spatial puzzles using a portal gun that creates portals for instant travel between two points. Players face challenges set by the AI GLaDOS in the Aperture Science laboratory.
The gameplay combines puzzle and platformer elements with minimal combat, emphasizing logic and creative thinking. The game’s atmosphere is shaped by minimalist level design, unique humor, and memorable lines from GLaDOS.
Portal received high praise from critics and players alike for its innovative design, engaging gameplay, and original narrative, becoming one of the most influential games of its time. The modding community continues to create custom levels and maps, maintaining interest in the game.
