History (skip to story if you just want the review)
portal was a new concept for gaming which started in 2005 as a tech demo of sort called narbacular drop and it was developed by ninjamonkeysoftware. It made you think using 2 gates (portals) that could open on select surfaces when valve played the game they loved it and hired ninjamonkeysoftware to work on a new game with the same concept called portal.
Story
In this game you assume the role of chell, an orphaned girl who must go through a series of test with a company's new equitment the portal gun. Plus a computerised voice guides you throughout the chambers and it can be really funny at times
Concept
If you hadn't heard of the concept it is simple you make a portal using your gun then make another. Next, go into one portal and you will come out the other. It will get harder as you go along with new, fun challenges to face.
bad
The game doesn't have many bad parts to it, but it does have a few. When you activate a lift it takes about 30 seconds to move 5 feet and it may be hard to aim into floor portals without uping the mouse sensitivity the game can also get really frustrating at points but never too difficult. My final complaint is the length if you played portal 2 first you can beat it in under 3 hours which is a little too short
verdict
Portal is a really fun and sometimes challenging game with good humor (just a warning, you need steam by valve to play it) and if you already have steam you should pick it up right away and it will be well worth it.
