I love how this game quickly immerses you in its gameplay. Without any unnecessary setup, you're immediately thrown into the world of puzzle solving and action. There's little to no guide or hand-holding to help you along the way. You must make use of the controls you're given to solve the puzzles and progress through the game. The puzzles can be challenging and frustrating at times, but the feeling of satisfaction you get when you finally figure out a particularly difficult puzzle is undeniable.

The game's plot isn't explicitly laid out for you too, but still, you can feel that there's something mysterious and sinister happening behind it. As you progress through the game, you begin to piece together the hidden agenda that's at play. When the plot is finally revealed, and the truths that were once hidden are brought to light, it makes the game even more exciting and satisfying.

Finally, it's impossible to talk about this game without mentioning the iconic performance by Ellen McLain as GLaDOS. Her portrayal of the character is nothing short of legendary, and her voice acting adds an extra layer of personality and depth to the already rich world of the game.
