I would wait till it’s on sale for a dollar because the game is very short.

Portal is a unique first-person puzzle-platformer game developed by Valve Corporation. In the game, players take on the role of Chell, who finds herself trapped in the Aperture Science research facility and must use her skills and a special portal gun to create portals, navigating through various levels to escape the laboratory. PROS: Unique gameplay mechanics based on portal creation, providing endless possibilities for puzzle-solving and world exploration Exceptional storyline presented in a subtle manner, leaving ample room for interpretation Great soundtrack and excellent voice acting, particularly with the computer GLaDOS, who serves as the antagonist CONS: May be challenging for beginners as it requires good reflexes and problem-solving abilities May feel short for some players, although the expansion Portal 2 adds significantly more content and puzzles to solve Overall, Portal is a fantastic game with excellent mechanics, an intriguing story, and humorous dialogue. If you enjoy skill-based and logical games, you will definitely find it engaging.
