Portal

Portal Guía y cronología

Chell must navigate Aperture Science using a portal device and instructions from an artificial intelligence that becomes less reassuring by the minute. Portal turns the question of how to cross a room into a puzzle about space, momentum and trust. Its companion stories keep returning to the facility's dangerous inventions and very poor judgment.

Portal: take the first test before returning to Aperture

Play Portal, then Portal 2. Still Alive is an alternative way to experience the first game with extra challenges, not a necessary second story before the sequel. Explore co-op and other Aperture projects afterward.

A familiar laboratory does not make every extra a continuation of Chell's story. Aperture Desk Job is explicitly a short experience rather than Portal 3.

Overview & recommendation

Portal teaches you a new way to cross a room, then lets the voice explaining the room become another thing to question. Its first introduction is compact enough that skipping it loses more than a set of puzzle instructions.

Portal 2 has more space to build on both the mechanics and the relationship with Aperture itself. The co-op material changes the partnership in the room, while Bridge Constructor and Desk Job play with other sides of the setting. Those are enjoyable detours once the main idea has had room to work.

Choose Portal or Still Alive for the first story, then play Portal 2. Follow Portal 2's co-op progression before its Peer Review continuation. Add Bridge Constructor Portal and Aperture Desk Job for their different uses of Aperture's inventions.

Portal, Portal 2, then the extra experiments 6 entries

Do not play the first story twice out of obligation because Still Alive has a separate entry. Keep the Portal 2 co-op continuation with its base experience.
