Ranking and Reviewing the Best Portal Mods

In the past 15 years, the Portal gaming community has seen a plethora of mods, with some even predating the first anniversary of the game. As an avid player of numerous Portal mods, I've undertaken the task of thoroughly evaluating and ranking these fan-made creations. Let's dive into the world of Portal mods and explore the hits and misses among them.

Portal Prelude: A Nostalgic Delight or a Tedious Journey?

Rating: 8/10

The first mod in our lineup is Portal Prelude, known for being visually appealing and offering enjoyable puzzles. Despite its strengths, including an excellent soundtrack, the mod falls short in some areas with occasional weak dialogue and certain chambers lacking depth. However, it holds a special place in many players' hearts and deserves an 8 out of 10.

Portal Pro: Solid and Enjoyable

Rating: 7/10

Next, Portal Pro offers solid gameplay and engaging puzzles, albeit with occasional random difficulty spikes. While not groundbreaking, the sequel adds value and fun to the overall experience. With a rating of 7 out of 10, Portal Pro delivers a consistently enjoyable gameplay experience.

Rexaro: A Puzzle Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10

Portal: Rexaro stands out as one of the best Portal mods, challenging players with intricate puzzles and innovative gameplay. Despite lacking an escape sequence, the mod excels in puzzle design and overall execution, earning a commendable 9 out of 10.

Portal: Still Alive—Not Quite Living Up to the Name

Rating: 4/10

This divisive mod boasts an intriguing storyline and a unique NPC companion concept. However, the gameplay falls short due to numerous chamber design issues and lackluster execution, leading to a modest rating of 4 out of 10.

Blue Portals: The Pinnacle of Portal Mods

Rating: 10/10

Blue Portals emerges as the ultimate Portal mod experience, excelling in all aspects from visuals to gameplay. With a wide array of engaging puzzles, exceptional test elements, and outstanding content, this mod sweeps the competition with a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.

Portal Uni: A Mixed Bag of Reimagined Elements

Rating: 5/10

With inspiration from early Portal 2 trailers, Portal Uni offers a fun gameplay experience supported by appealing aesthetics. However, the mod's lack of challenging chambers limits its potential, resulting in a decent yet unremarkable rating of 5 out of 10.

Portal Protagonist: A Lighthearted Adventure

Rating: 6/10

This whimsical mod provides entertaining gameplay with its main campaign, advanced chambers, and bonus maps. Although not groundbreaking, Portal Protagonist offers a pleasant gaming experience deserving of a 6 out of 10 rating.
