10 INCREDIBLE Video Games You Can Finish In Under 5 Hours

10. Portal

If you’re standing here in sunny 2019 without having ever played Valve’s masterpiece Portal, then I must beg the question. Why not?! Take a few hours out of your day and get this played, today, right now in fact, go buy it now, go. I’ll wait…

A spiritual spin-off from the Half-Life universe, Portal puts the player inside the long-fall boots of Chell, an amnesiac woman seemingly trapped inside Aperture Science Laboratories’ testing facility and forced to undertake dozens of tests using their portal gun technology.

Portal is a puzzle game that you will very quickly get the hang of, as the physics based puzzles are a joy to figure out and execute. Leaping heroically down into a pit only to shoot a portal in front of you at the last second is exhilarating, and all the while you’re performing alongside the facility’s hilariously sarcastic AI overlord, GLaDOS.

Love her, or hate her, she does have invaluable advice such as:

“Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out”,

and “I’m going to kill you, and all the cake is gone”.

Life... affirming?
