Can't say this is a necessary upgrade, or a great tech demo for that matter (why would you want to demonstrate modern graphics tech with a game where sterility and uniformity ARE the visual style?), but I'll take any excuse to replay this game. And are you telling me the platforms always moved this slow?!
The classic with some fancy new bells and whistles. Was able to play it a decent framerate (somewhere above 60 FPS, can't remember exact numbers) with some DLSS and other settings tweaked on a 3080 12GB. Was fun to play through a game I hadn't touched in quite a while with a fresh coat of paint. Found myself just staring at the lighting and the glow from the portals for extended periods.
100% Completion Notes: My first time going for all the achievements in Portal. All of the base game achievements were a blast to get. The least steps/least portals challenges can go jump in a hole and die.

A really captivating visual upgrade for a classic game. I found myself staring at a lot of the lighting effects, especially when the high energy pellets would light up the area around them as they moved. Sadly it is rather poorly optimized and crashed often, which was very disappointing and sometimes frustrating.
It's an interesting experiment, but ultimately... it's Portal with ray tracing. And it's for anyone with a 3060 or higher graphics card. This really doesn't do anything for anyone other than those with really high level graphics cards. All while well over quintupling the size of the game.
This also would have been a good time to even do some small upgrades to the base game, but that wasn't even done. So, in the end, this is just a prettier Portal.

Not sure how to review this. Its still portal which is a great short adventure. But it runs like crap, I have a brand new 4070super and the default settings had the game chugging along at 20ish fps (to get it to run you have to open the nvidia app and get it to optimise the settings for you). The game itself is basically a tech demo for nvidia, and i think it does a very poor job of doing that. It runs poorly and all the upscale frame genny stuff just leaves everything with this strange plasticy wobbly feel to it, you cant help but notice how drastically the quality decreases while youre moving and then you feel the quality increasing when you stop and its in those moments where the game engine is catching up with you that it feels most uncanny.
No estoy seguro de cómo de valioso es el raytracing de esta ¿versión? de Portal. Los cambios son muy notables incluso sin comparaciones directas, pero el precio en el rendimiento se paga con creces (jugado a 1080p con una 3080Ti, que no es poca cosa). Por otro lado es cuestionable hasta que punto cambia la atmósfera y el estilo visual original.
Por lo demás, siendo gratuito si tienes Portal 1 es la excusa perfecta para volver a jugar uno de los juegos más ingeniosos de puzzles que he podido tocar.

it's what it says on the tin. and that's fine, it was nice to look at! i liked playing portal. it's a good game. the problem, though, is that I think my computer starts like. fusing. or something. smells electrical. i don't have a beefy computer, but it is very good, i think? idk its a ship of theseus that i didn't build BUT it should be able to handle this? so I'm not sure what about it is so 'taxing'. grow up. i'll try playing this again in winter idk lol
Oyuna grafikleri yenilemek dışında ekstra bir yenilik gelmedi, üstüne yeniledikleri grafiklerle rahatça güzel bir oyun oynamanız imkansız, optimizasyonu berbat oyunun. "RTX 2080" kullanarak oynadım, ama yapımcıların bahanesi 3080 öneriyoruz diyorlar, e iyi de hani 2080 çok eskimiş bir kart değil ki, 1080p oynatmalı, hadi onu bırak 720p en azından oynatabilmeli, bu fiyasko optimizasyon konusundadır tamamen, bir şeyler yanlış.
Grafikler de öyle ahım şahım bir yükselme yaşamıyor, oyunun orjinal halini açıp tekrar bakınca farkını anca anlıyorsunuz...

Depois de anos escutando sobre esse jogo, finalmente tive a oportunidade de terminá-lo.
A proposta do jogo é bem simples, mas extremamente bem executada. A cada fase terminada eu me animava em seguir para a próxima.
O único defeito do jogo é que ele é muito curto. Apesar de ter fases alternativas mais elaboradas, senti muita falta de puzzles mais complexos na história principal.

I think I played Portal the first time round all the way back in 2013 when it came out for the Orange Box, back when Half-Life 3 was actually a possibility (or was it?).
Like a syringe filled shot of nostalgia to the jugular the enticement of hitting up this classic with all the new fancy bells and whistles of my RTX graphics card was enough to get me back in.
Still as sharp as when I first played it, hilarious throughout and carries an unexpected sinister undertone despite the lack of plot. The puzzles are intelligent but never feel unfair and the whole thing has got me itching to go through Portal 2 again. Hopefully they do an RTX version for that.
Yes this is Portal but prettier, but it is still Portal.....and Portal is awesome!
