In other cases, you will need to route vehicles so they drive over buttons which open doors or release a companion cube that in turn might be used to knock over a turret or activate another button which might turn off a laser or open a door. Many levels see vehicles going back and forth across the screen such that the paths of bridges intersect, forcing you to create carefully placed jumps and gaps in your constructions. Portals are located in various spots throughout levels, with multiple portal pairs being distinguished with matching colors for the input and output.

Fortunately, the developers must have realized that writing wasn’t their strong suit as it is largely unobtrusive with the puzzles themselves taking center stage.Īlthough I was somewhat disappointed when I learned you don’t actually get to place portals yourself, the gameplay elements from this series are ultimately used quite effectively. The story elements are extremely minimal, with a handful of short cutscenes and occasional interjections from the returning Glados failing to provide even a fraction of the humor that was so effective in previous Portal games. The framework for this purely scientific endeavor sees you playing as a new Aperture Science hire, and you must work your way up the ranks by completing a series of bridge-based test chambers. To pass each level you only generally need a single vehicle to make it to the output tube, but if you want a challenge you can test your constructions with a multi-vehicle convoy that makes things significantly harder. Functionally, the entire game consists of futzing about with these two building materials to configure a variety of bridges and ramps that will allow the test vehicles to avoid lasers, acidic goo and various other obstacles so that they might make it to the exit of the level. As with the previous Bridge Constructor titles, you have access to metal pylons that can be linked together and converted into road surfaces, and steel cables that can be used to support said road surfaces. Let Ellen McLain, the original voice of GLaDOS, guide you through the tutorial, and learn all the tips and tricks that make a true Aperture Science employee.Mostly, your time with Bridge Constructor Portal will be spent in two-dimensional test chambers building bridges that allow Aperture vehicles to move from an input tube to an output tube. Make use of the many Portal gadgets, like portals, propulsion gel, repulsion gel, aerial faith plates, cubes, and more to bypass the sentry turrets, acid pools and laser barriers, solve switch puzzles, and make it through the test chambers unscathed. Enter the Aperture Science Enrichment Center and experience Bridge Constructor Portal – the unique merging of the classic Portal™ and Bridge Constructor™ games.Īs a new employee in the Aperture Science test lab, it's your job to build bridges, ramps, slides, and other constructions in 60 test chambers and get the Bendies safely across the finish line in their vehicles.
