“Who is this imposter Cave Johnson?” “What happened to the facility and its staff?” When she finally wakes, there is a fake Cave Johnson telling her she needs to escape the facility and a new device called the Aperture Handheld Portal Device, her mind races with questions. Not everything worked as it should have though, but that wasn't going to get in the way of the progress of Science! Mel unfortunately took part in a faulty test called the Aperture: Science Innovators Short-Term Relaxation Vault, falling asleep for years. It tells the story of Mel, who meets a new personality core and faces an undiscovered threat to the Aperture facility.ġ952, in the early years of Aperture: Science Innovators, Cave Johnson’s scientists experimented with whatever they wanted. Portal is a must play.Portal Stories: Mel is a community made, free modification for Portal 2 based in the Portal universe. GLaDOS is one of the most iconic and effective 'baddies' you will meet in a video game too. There is a mystery behind who you are, what Aperture Science is and more, and it's fascinating to discover what's going on while you solve the puzzles. The incredible thing about Portal is that is manages to be a compelling first person 3D adventure where your character never shoots a gun. It's such a great idea, you might find yourself wishing you could use them in real life too! The puzzles get pretty tough, but the learning curve makes sure you're ready for the challenges when they come. In game physics are absolutely perfect, and using the portals is great fun once you get the hang of it.

Portal looks good even though it was originally released in 2007, thanks to its clean, minimalist laboratory style. It's makes more sense when you play! Check out the explanatory video here.

This means that instead of climbing a ladder for example, you can shoot a portal at the bottom, and another at the top, and simply walk through. Portal's big idea is the the 'handheld portal device', that allows subjects to open portals between two places.
