Overall, not really; it's just that there are a few BS spots where you need absurdly good ninja skills (looking at you, Chamber 18).
Is portal hard?

I wouldn't describe a puzzle game as 'hard'. Levels in action games keep a consistent difficulty. In games like Portal, once you understand what you need to do, the game is simple.
By the way, I know that Portal requires reflexes sometimes, but my opinion still stands.

I found Portal 2 to be easier than the original, and that's without even taking the advanced levels in to consideration. I loved Portal 2, but I did find the puzzle element underdone.Sunrider84 said:
Kinda hard in some of the late puzzles but you can get past those eventually, I doubt anyone is stupid enough to not beat the game at all. That's not including disabilities. Shouldn't take more than 4 or 5 hours for your first try.
I've heard some people say the same thing there. It might just be me who is weird, I guess. I wasn't stuck for more than a minute total in the first Portal game, everything just obvious to me. I got stuck a few times in Portal 2 though, I dunno. Maybe I'm just dumb. =(Hungry Donner said:
No because every question you have of "How do I get there?" "Or how do I move that to there?" can be anwsered with "Your holding a portal gun". I brezze through it in an hour or so but I'm really good at puzzles 
It was probly because of the long walking sections inbetween the puzzle rooms. I brezzed through all of Portal 2 as I found it easier but there where times when I was like "Where am I ment to go?", while I never had that problem in Portal 1Sunrider84 said:
People saying you're stupid for not completing it in under 3 hours are assholes, I bet they took longer than that themselves when they first played it (unless you're timing yourself it's gonna seem faster than it was).
I'd say a realistic time for your first time playing would be 5-6 hours, 2-3 if you're blazing through it.

Not really it's quiet easy they're some spot's near the end you might get stuck like a certain.. oh i was meant to use that to destroy that section but other then that it's quiet easy.
I found portal relatively easy. there are just a few simple rules to follow, if you're stuck, try to stop for a while, look around the level and think.
My first playthrough took me a couple of hours. Now I can easily run through in less than an hour. Portal 2 was about 6 hours on my first playthrough. It's not hard at all. Some puzzles take longer than others to figure out, but there's no way you won't be able to beat it.
When I played through it took me about 3-4 hours, however my friend took a very long time to beat it. Mostly because he's one of those people who gets antsy if he hasn't killed somebody 20 minutes into the game. If you do not fall in line with the aforementioned group, you should be fine.
A problem that unfortunately carried over to portal 2. Also, no, just remember momentum is always conserved, as is direction relative to both portals, and you'll be fine. Friend better be losing his/her bet.scw55 said:
Portal is really nothing that progressive thinking can't beat after a certain period of time. It's not so much hard as it is something that makes you use your brain.
That said, there's gonna be a chamber or two that you'll get frustrated by.
But don't get me started on Portal 2's story, which appeared to be written by a team of attention deficit monkeys trying to get the biggest laugh on open mic night who have no concept of plot cohesion.

Sorry, what? The best thing about Portal's story was the fact that we knew so little about what was going on, and we didn't know about what GlaDOS' sinister plans were. It was pretty bare bones, but the mystery made it worthwhile.Quid Plura said:

Portal is quite easy and as mentioned above some chambers will take a while to figure out but overall it isn't a hard game. Don't worry if you find yourself taking really long amounts of time on a level since certain things like timed buttons and turrets add tension and stress but overall Portal is not very difficult. Challenging but not difficult. It really just depends if you can think logically about a puzzle in different situations, if you can't you will find it hard but if you can you will very rarely get stuck.
me and my freind had a race to see who could finish it first i got to GLaDos in 48 minutes pretty fun and felt like longer
