It's appalling how perfect this game is.
Controls. Writing. Voice acting. Puzzle mechanics. Characters. Story. Potatoes. Lemons. It's all flawless.
No game has made me laugh harder. GLADoS, Wheatley, and Cave Johnson would all be contenders for my favorite video game characters of all time, mainly because of how flat-out hilarious they are while still being complex and intriguing.
Like the first Portal, the puzzles are still a delight to work through. It's got that kind of difficulty where it makes you feel like you outsmarted the game, when really the game's direction guided you juuuust enough to figure it out without looking it up online.
I don't know if Valve will ever learn to count to 3, but if they do, I hope Portal is higher on the priority list than Half-Life.
