Just did my yearly replay of Portal... with RTX. Newly bought a 4070 Super so great opportunity to test it. As good as ever! Visuals were amazing.

9. Still Alive
There aren't a ton of iconic credits songs. Basically this and Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional for Spider-Man 2.
Fun Fact- If you look up the word "vindicated" on Google, the song which is from the album "Spider-Man 2" is the second result behind the definition of the word. Wild.
Still Alive is iconic for three major reasons. First, it is very surprising that the villain of the game sings a song about the game over the credits. I can't think of any other media that does that outside of, uh, Portal 2. Second the song is very simple. I refuse to check but I am confident there are one billion covers of this on youtube. Third, the song is catchy. The first thing I did after beating Portal was watching the credits again so I could hear this song.
GLaDos may be evil, but she has pipes!

When this game is on sale, it is such a must buy for the price. If even someone who is not that much into puzzle games like me enjoys it, I can barely think of anyone who wouldn't.

Seems like lately, I’ve been thinking about games more than I’ve playing them, and currently, I’m thinking about Portal 1. I am considering bumping up my score for this one a bit.

Seems like lately, I’ve been thinking about games more than I’ve playing them, and currently, I’m thinking about Portal 1. I am considering bumping up my score for this one a bit. I replayed recently with a more “objective” POV, and I realized how much of the game’s twists, turns and tricks were spoil to me before playing it.
Internet culture in the late ’00s/early '10s was filled with Portal references, stuff about a cake and fake news. It was everywhere, so, when I decided to play a Portal game for the first time, I started with the sequel because I knew so much about the original. Portal 2 ended up being one of my favorite games ever and a tough act to follow; playing Portal 1 after that kinda made me look down on it.
With this new “objective” perspective I can now appreciate the tightly made puzzles, the slow-burn story and gameplay. At the same time, its short length and the fact that it gives motion sickness, are points against it. I might have to play more in order to form my opinion on it, it ironically got me thinking more than its sequel.
