This was a triumph. No game feels more stuck in the 2000s than this one. Every Glados line that once felt at least halfway clever now feels super forced and awkward. Games writing has come a long way in the last 10 years, in large part due to the original Portal.

Despite that, the game holds up. Very few video game mechanics are as satisfying as momentum flinging in the original Portal. Like Braid, Portal makes you continually feel smart as you figure out obtuse solutions to simple puzzles.

I much prefer Portal 1 to its sequel due to its limited scope. Portal 1s focus on test chambers is very simple, but I really prefer the simplicity than what Portal 2 tried to do with more natural FPS environments.
