Hey you Have you ever wanted to go flying through portals, killing giant corrupt A.I, and doing tests Well if not then i don't know what to tell you because that's what portal is. now get in the van were going to aperture.

In this I am going to recap the main portal games and one of the fan games (I might make a part two just for fan games)

PORTAL 1

The first Portal game is only single player and it starts off in the relaxation chamber then the portal opens then it begins with button based testing. While you make your way to the first portal gun or the Aperture science single quantum tunneling device, the portal gun only shoots the blue so you need the plate that spawns an orange portal so you can use the portal gun. As you make your way through the facility GLaDOS roasts you and nothing really changes until you get the Aperture science dual quantum tunneling device.

At chamber 19 that's when the stuff starts you have to maneuver on a rail going over an acid pit. Next you have to escape a flaming pit and then you go through the guts of aperture. Just battle GLaDOS and you win.(side quest- after you beat the campaign the radio will get a red light and you have to bring them to a certain location and the light will glow green and you have to do a lot of stuff but you can get images for portal 2.)Ā Ā

PORTAL 2

The second portal game takes place in the future of aperture where due to the lack of activity plants have taken over the enrichment center and you get awakened, because the reactor malfunctions. you get greeted by wheatley who takes you to get the aperture science single quantum tunneling device.

Wheatley the intelligence damping sphereĀ 

Then you get Wheatley after he disconnects from his management rail and you plug him into a wall to open a door then you make your way to GLaDOSā€™s chamber and go around her (she is powered off) and go to the maintenance elevator. then wheatley messes up the switches and accidentally turns on GLaDOS who throws you into the incinerator room to pick up the dual Quantum tunneling device and you make your way to the test chambersĀ 

after a some chambers wheatley opens the wall to show a catwalk to the turret factory and neurotoxin generators to switch the turrets to be defective (meaning no body and no bullets) and to destroy the neurotoxin generator. Then you go to GLaDOSā€™s chamber and do a core swap putting Wheatley in charge then the moron, he was originally an intelligence dampening sphere(he was built to be a moron.) and bashes you down a pit to the old aperture or Aperture Science Innovators and you do some tests down there and you get to see some pictures of the older quantum tunneling device. And then you go back to the new aperture do some of wheatley's tests then you do a bossfight against him and launch him to the moon

Fan game Portal reloaded

Portal reloading starts in the human storage vault. you ride along a rail in your chamber to your vacuum tube to the test chambers. In the first chamber the door is set to open in 20 years. There are 2 ways to solve this test. Wait patiently, OR time travel to the future you choose to time travel to the future then you press a button to travel back to the past to leave the test and you learn that instead of elevators they teleport you to the next chamber. Then later on you get the triple quantum tunneling device it lets you place time portals. Over time they add more and more things to test with. It ends with you escaping the facility or returning to the chambers.
