#9: Portal

Portal is a timeless classic.

It finds this sweet spot of puzzle, physics, and characterization.

I think The Witness is better in terms of raw art and puzzle design, but the tactile way the puzzles and obstacles are presented (i am here, i need to get over there, all i have is my legs and this superpower) makes everything feel slightly more applicable to life than the more abstract puzzles of other games.

Even decent titles like QUBE and that one I never finished (after googling, the talos principle) can't match the charm and smoothness. It totally feels like you've been thrown into a deranged lab.

The little characterization that exists in the game is charming, and the final level is a nice little send-off. All of this has been copied to hell and back since, so it's hard to forget what it looks like when executed properly.

The game is greater than the sum of its parts, even though at times it feels more like a tech demo- almost as if it could be even more.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
