The goal of each level in Bridge Constructor Portal is to create a bridge capable of getting a forklift to a chamber’s exit.
#Bridge constructor portal walkthrough series
The Portal series is mostly here to provide a recognizable coat of paint to the affair while bringing over elements from Valve’s puzzle game series to make the bridge building more interesting. Much of this carries over from the first two Portal games tone-wise and perhaps the game does lean into it a bit too much to try and remain faithful to it, but it doesn’t fulfill the same narrative purpose considering you remain within the Aperture Science framework for the whole game rather than resisting the injustices of the corporate environment. This ideology isn’t really kept secret, but it is obscured by the corporate speak and deceptive tone of the notifications and warnings given to employees about their deliberately unsafe work environment, the robotic AI GLaDOS overseeing the player’s work to both provide them useful info for the experiments that will be conducted while nailing in that they are expendable in the pursuit of science.
As it turns out, portals are a wonderful fit for a bridge building game.īridge Constructor Portal involves the player taking on the role of a new employee at Aperture Science, a company so devoted to the pursuit of science that it it will happily and openly jeopardize the safety of its researchers and even their families if it could provide some valuable research data. However, thanks to an increasing openness with their intellectual properties, we did finally get a return trip to the world of Portal but in a most unexpected yet still quite appropriate form. The two games that make up Valve’s Portal series united some interesting puzzles about spatial awareness with some expertly written comedic villains, but as Valve drifted more and more away from producing video games, it seemed like we wouldn’t be paying another visit to the series any time soon.
