Portal (2007)
It's actually wild that we've had nearly 50 games and haven't talked about a single Valve game yet. Portal is perhaps a strange one to start with, but it is also quick to knock out in an afternoon which makes it perfect with the onslaught of other games we have as we race for 50 games on the list. It was a part of a massive compilation of games and stood out as a marvel of game design. How does it hold up this many years and a sequel later?
