Portal and Portal 2

There’s something about the classic puzzle game Portal that makes it my go-to game to test drive a new PC. It’s familiar and easy to jump into. The biggest draw, however, is how delightfully fun-sized it is. While a fun-sized candy bar feels like a hypocritical lie, with a game like Portal or its sequel Portal 2, it captures a game that feels satisfying to play without overstaying its welcome. Plus, by the time I’m redownloading games, it will have probably been a while since my last run through Aperture Science’s labyrinth laboratory. Lisa Marie Segarra, Staff Editor
