If you noticed the date, yes this is a very late review, but with the upcoming Portal 2 release, it seemed important to review the original Portal. To do so, I ran through the game a second time - here's a quick run-down of how this game goes.
A gameplay demo of the cancelled Portal prequel F-Stop using recreated assets features no portals, and a unique camera that duplicates items.
From GamesReviews:"Portal with RTX is a fresh look for the 2007 classic. But it's not easy to run, and the results may not impress everybody."
Portal RTX may look like a quant remaster, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It's one of the most demanding games available today.
And in a bad way! This is not where gaming should be going. We should focus more on better physics, AI, more meaningful writing, substance in storytelling and overall art over reflections and lighting effects. But hey, you've got billion dollar companies trying to sell you stuff, so I guess you have to make a whole ecosystem around ray tracing because people make a living out of it on youtube. Talk about losing touch with reality and taking eye off the ball. Advancing gaming as a whole my ass!
Uhhh.... What?
There's more that goes into an overall score than just gameplay...If you actually read the review, the reviewer praises the game with the exception of the length.
Already people seem to be upset. I think it's sad that people have come to expect a "good" game to have a score of 10 automatically these days.
LOLLOLLLOOOLLLOLOL
It is Portal 1,.. review,..
And actually kinda agree with him (he is a bit harsh with the score),.. I beat it in 2-3 hours,..Really did not have much re-playability for me and stand alone was 20usd when it came out? I believe?,..
We got free maps though! So I played it again,.. (were pretty awesome,.. and some things were really hard)
I mean If you got it with orange box like most of us,..
Yes for us it was the best thing ever,.. but it was really short,..
I don't think people should call other people idiots if they did not enjoy a certain game so much as everyone else,.. like some sort of outcasts,.. There are some types of games, that I love,.. that most people think are redundant ,..
