Portal is my favorite puzzle game of all time. Utilizing superior physics that revolutionized gaming, it was both challenging and entertaining.
The central conceit revolves around a special gun that can create portals in walls, allowing the player to immediately travel from one window to another. The game is a series of puzzles the player must solve to reach a reward at the end. Besides being challenging, the game includes some very humorous elements.
Some have complained about the brevity of the gameplay, but this game was originally part of a 5-game compilation called The Orange Box, and Portal was deemed by many to be a minor inclusion in a collection that included the highly anticipated Half-Life 2. Portal was a surprising success.
However brief the gameplay might be, it is of high quality. And I have to say the ending (song) is my favorite of all time.
