Playing Portal for the First Time... Does It Live Up to the Hype?
10First time playing Portal! A game I’ve somehow avoided for over a decade. Everyone says it’s a masterpiece of puzzle design and dark humor... so let’s see if it actually lives up to the hype!
This stream kicks off a new direction for 6ems. Each week, I’ll be playing one short narrative or gameplay-focused game, and then making a scripted retrospective about it based on the experience. No facecam, no drama. Just honest thoughts, good design, and maybe a few existential robot quotes.
Chat is open! Feel free to hang, drop puzzle hints (no full spoilers), or just vibe.
Game: Portal (2007)
Date: June 2nd, 2025
Mic only
Retrospective video drops later this week, ideally Friday!
