Portal Mortal Reviews

If you like The Portal Games YOu'll love this trust me!!! Even though its not 3rd person, its side scrolling but it compensates by adding all these new awesome things you wont believe! There's also a level editor. I actually like this better than Portal!! Rating 10/10

Haven't finished the game yet, but so far the level design seems great and the difficulty level is just right.

Portal Mortal among many possibilities is a puzzle platformer. Controls are snappy (no floating) and hit detection seems pixel-perfect. The're are no loading times between (frequent) deaths, which gives gameplay a superb fluidity due checkpoints. Player is introduced to new mechanics as they progress the pre-made levels, and they feel natural as you progress. Game has multiplayer and different multiplayer maps, eg. capture the flag and deathmatch. I have a 32:9 monitor (super ultrawide), and the game has no problem detecting and handling the resolution (it launched straight out the box 32:9, I havnt fiddled with resolution settings). New areas are hidden until you progress unto them, and thus the common problem where you can see "outside of bounds" doesn't occur. (KB+M) As mentioned before, controls feel great. There is a controller support, but I havn't tested it (yet). I'd imagine that aiming portals would be relatively difficult with a controller compared to kb+m, but platforming more enjoyable. Which brings me to my next point: Level editor! You can create your own levels! You can create levels with your friends! You can create and edit levels with your friends. As you play them. On the fly! This opens a huge amount of possibilities! Your mate found a skip in your level? Slap a laser in front of him! A jump is too easy? Replace landing block with an ice block whilst they're midair! They're taking too long to perfect the running speed for the jump? Create a timed trigger which melts the ice block! All in all great fun as it is, and even more fun with a few friends and couple cold ones!

The production values are perhaps simple, but the puzzles are quite good. I don't think Valve is going to make a 2d Portal Demake anytime soon, so this is a fine version of that.

The game captures the essence of Portal puzzles amazingly while combining it with the brutal graphics of Super Meat Boy and the likes. Map editor is also something I would not have expected but the ability to create maps is a huge plus, no longer can you only say you could do better job than the original level designers, you can prove it too.

Portal Mortal is a puzzle platformer that will test both your 2d platform skills and puzzle solving skills. It is packed with game features and objects to interact with. Tons of levels and a huge amount of customization options. The level editor adds many more hours of play time. If you are a fan of puzzles or platformers, I highly recommend this game.

Walkthrough in progress - https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/unixlinux/318441-portal-mortal/faqs At first you are not too impressed but suddenly the difficulty goes through the roof. I actually had to halt playing until the speed setting appeared in an update, it gets that nasty. With time (almost) on your side instead of millimeters the game becomes playable. You can see there has been a lot of thought going into the level design. Even if some levels have you millimeter jump for a hour on repeat, 9 times out of 10 it's just something you didn't think about. You almost have fun, getting through a level becomes a feat, even with the (too) few savepoints. And then you hit hell... every level is a nightmare. Even the devils laugh after getting hit by your blood. This game needs a walkthrough... and my kid promised to do that... after he stops crying around level 78 or so. Update: After finally beating the game (40h grandpa style) I should add that the last 30 levels were much more thematic and playable (can't say more to avoid spoiling). The last 10 were even fun except for maybe the hardest level in the game (on 100% speed).

For disclosure, I know the developer. I played through the tutorial and I am now in the first hub. The game has fun balance between puzzle solving and skillful platforming, with some rare janky portions (like in the last tutorial level). Platforming can be pretty hard, but there are checkpoints placed well, so you don't feel too annoyed by the hard parts. The gimmicks of each level are pretty easy to grasp and they add nifty twists to levels. Will continue playing for sure and I do recommend it for its price.

Fun! 2D platformer that is challenging enough to get you to the verge of "I do not know how to go forward", but then it clicks and satisfaction ensues. Mechanics are sharp enough to feel in control, but sometimes the speeds can get a bit confusing. I don't know how much I was expecting from this game, but with the story, collectibles, customization and all the other things to try out I feel kind of spoiled! Very much worth the money.

Run around the level and jump over buzzsaws, laser beams, missiles, and more. And afterwards find a way to open the door so you can do it all over again. To assist in this task, you have a micro-rift cannon. [spoiler]And near the end, something... else.[/spoiler] There will be blood and death. Lots of each. All withinin multiple different worlds featuring their own bosses; Outer space, A messed-up-looking Earth, [spoiler]And the actual depths of Purgatory[/spoiler], to name about half.
