Review: Portal

[Epifols]

I liked that the game was short.

How interesting could they have made a plot if it was 6 hours long?

They kept to the KISS principle, keep it simple stupid.

I doubt I'll get this answer, but how long does it take to fall the 30k feet for Terminal Velocity

I've been falling for about 6 minutes now and I haven't gotten it.

Keep falling it takes a while. Go make something to eat actually, you should have it by then.

I am speechless. You hardly spoke about the game, just dishing it out mindless praise. Can you even really call this a review?

More like a blurb on a book cover

while I do find his review to be short, reviews can be very positive and still be a review. Is there anything wrong with Portal other then it's length? And some people see its length as a good thing, because it ends before it loses the point, and it came with 4 other games so you weren't wasting all your money on a 3 hour game.

reviews have to stay objective, but if you like something, a lot, feel free to gush

 

[Mirika_the_warrior]

not very detailed, to much filler (i.e. swearing), and it was to short

 

[Klagermeister]

Make it a little more well thought-out, please.
Yes, the game is amazing, but try to focus on the reasons as to why.

Never review a game and point out no flaws. All games have problems and its your job to tell the people who are reading what they are
Yahtzee does this very well

 

[Black yeoman]

A least its not over negative...

EXCEPT when he reviewed Portal

which he couldn't find anything about it to criticize

He stuck his forks in his eyes and flipped the camera the double bird and said "Fuck you, Portal is great."
