Portal is easily one of the best puzzle games ever made. It effectively teaches you complex subjects by gradually introducing you to new concepts throughout the whole game until you are truly tested to combine everything you know in the final act. It’s simple yet nearly perfect, a short but timeless masterpiece. Aside from the gameplay, Portal is just a cool game with a cool concept. My only gripe is that GLADOS is not funny. Sorry.
I masturbate so hard when I play Zelda II that my semen shoots off and smacks my ceiling. This is one of the most underrated games of all time and it doesn’t deserve to be forgotten just because it is different. It’s puzzle/exploration design may not compare to the original Zelda, but it more than makes up for this in being what I believe to be the best melee combat in any NES game. It’s excellent the way the game takes advantage of the crouch, making the player think on two planes of block/attack. Almost each enemy encounter is a thoughtful fight with depth and challenge. The dungeon design is outstanding and the bosses never disappoint. I would love to see this Link, or one of his descendants, return in a future Zelda title. |

90/100 | I beat it in 48 minutes. Great game as a test of concept, improved upon by the sequel. glados is still funny to me. Replaying this made me set a turret noise as the sms tone on my phone. | |
