“Hello and welcome back to the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We welcome all lucky applicants to Bridge Constructor Portal with our new vehicle-based test chambers, Quantum Tunnels and patented Aperture technology!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This isn’t the Portal game you’re looking for…<\/p>\n

Scrolling through the YouTube comments of the announcement trailer people certainly aren’t holding back the fact this game is a “available on everything” mini bridge-building game and not a fully fledged Portal experience.<\/p>\n

Many are missing the fact the game is coming from Headup Games and not Valve but I’m sure they had to have expected this type of reaction.<\/p>\n

Regardless the game could be fun? It’s out December 20th on Mac, PC & iOS with console versions (yes Switch too) in the new year. No word on pricing but I’d expect it to be pretty low.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts? Exciting prospect or total money grab?<\/p>\n
