Short and sweet, Portal has a simple concept which lends itself to all levels of complex puzzles. Nowadays it lives in the shadow of it’s unbelievably good sequel, but the concepts started here.

Immersive, pleasant and engaging - but clearly not for everyone. It’s far richer visually and auditorily than mechanically, but if you need a beautiful walk around, it’s for you.

I played this game for twelve years. It’s very good.

Beautiful and sad. Well designed, minimal & stylised visuals with no UI to interrupt the immersion throughout a relatively short experience.

The new benchmark for smooth, responsive controls for skilful platformers. Funny art direction, great music and awesome level design which is super rewarding to overcome. A must-play for the genre.

If you’re an Ed McMillen fan, you gotta pick this up. The games vary a lot and it’s hard to critique what are essentially chapters in an autobiography.

Arguably the grand-daddy of modern rogue-likes. Ed McMillen hones his tradmarked style of absurd, funny darkness in this virtually infinitely replayable & deep, fucked up world. Must play.
