Eric loves Portal for "some unknown reason"? No, the reason is well known: Portal 1 and 2 are both excellent games.

I was onboard until I heard it was a Cryptozoic game, I think it was one of the "Shut Up and Sit Down" guys that called them mediocrity peddlers and I think this is the most apt description of that company. Their games are like traps for people who are fans of whatever IP they use and who wants to get into boardgames. It is not that their games are truly awful, there are just so many better options out there.

Seriously, Tom... the Portal games are among the very best of all computer and video games. They are, at their heart, puzzles, five-dimensional puzzles no less, and they are incredibly good for people who like tabletop as well as people who like computer games. Why? Because Portal is not in any way normal. It is a thinking -person's game, and both Portal games require consideration of choice, puzzle solving, and the capacity to reason beyond normal dimensional limitations. There is nothing else like them. Additionally, the narrative of the games is incredible, deep, satisfying, and surprisingly emotional. There is a lot of story there, a lot of crunchiness to the world and the circumstances, and the voice acting is beyond fantastic. But the key reason you would truly like them, if you gave them a fair shake, is that, in the end, they exercise the same parts of the brain that make logical decisions on the table... only within a fantastic virtual environment.

The game actually looks pretty fun, so I'll definitely be picking it up. But it does look like the designers don't understand the spirit of Portal. Portals *should* take a bigger part and the cake should take a much smaller part. But it does look like a fun game.

Attention all personnel, test subjects, and KZitemrs. I have an announcement about the soylent green we have been serving in the cafeteria. I have a letter from the President that reads, "Soylent green is.......going to double in price next year." Now I don't care... how tasty people are! This stuff is costing me more than lobster! We are going back to fish sticks. That is all. Oh and chariots chariots.

I absolutely love Portal and Portal 2 the video games, but even though this was approved and Tom said it was good, it just doesn't look that good of a game to me. I'd need to try it. The whole cake thing is what gets me. I have to get all my cake on the board? Strange. I want to like this game. I just want it to be a portal game that feels similar to the portal video game not a portal themed game. Not to mention, the cake is a lie.

I think you'd like the Portal games, particularly the first (The second bogs itself down a wee bit in the second act, and Chell doesn't have quite as much agency. Still a fantastic game, and the puzzles are perhaps more interesting, but the overall package is slightly weaker for me in the second game compared to the first). I think the first is only about 4-6 hours excluding the challenge mode features, so you should be able to squeeze out the time for it. The second is longer, but still doable within a reasonable time frame. Neither are these hundred hour stories or endless time sinks that you sometimes get in that medium.
