    Definitely the best one out of the Bridge Constructor series for me. Plus I had a blast getting killed over and over for getting the questions wrong.

    Honestly, this game is kind of a numbing experience. In the base game it feels like a lot of the time there is explicitely one intended solution, that you slowly brute force your way towards. A lot of the later levels are just multiple puzzles of "this needs to go here and this over there" bundled as one chamber. The game doesn't iterate on ideas much. It basically teaches you "triangles are good at keeping bridges stable" and that idea gets repackaged over and over again. The solutions to…

    If you asked me to recommend this game, based on my personal tastes I'd say no, but it's not bad at all. It requires thought, and Portal's theme is beautiful and original, with gameplay changes based on the game's story and its setting in Portal 2. It's just not the type of game I enjoy, but if you like these kinds of games, I'd definitely recommend it. However, I'm giving it a negative review because it's based on my experience, and honestly, I got bored pretty quickly. But I know people who…

    Physics > Fun Key features (almost) funny expansion of Portal universe, Physics is a bitсh, You can melt traffic in acid pools! Precision freak The core play is building bridges and then sending transport to stress test them. I liked this idea and generally "yay-ed" it. But... bloody hell, the game takes physics too serious. So serious, that fun plummets, just like your architectural behemoth. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3741447826 It is entertaining to watch mini…

    Finally, a job at Bridge Constructor where my catastrophic engineering failures are not just expected, but encouraged! The game is a genius mash-up. You build wobbly death-traps (sorry, "bridges") while GLaDOS sassily comments on your every mistake. The Portal elements aren't just a skin; they are the puzzle. You'll use portals, repulsion gels, and faith to fling test subjects across gaps. The Good: Building a bridge that launches a car through a portal loop is incredibly satisfying.…

    Blending portal mechanics with structural engineering makes for some genuinely clever puzzle-solving. Guiding your vehicles through Aperture Science test chambers using trusty physics feels satisfying when everything finally clicks. It can get pretty punishing in the later levels, but fans of both franchises will find plenty to enjoy here.

    Bridge constructor portal is a great game, even though it is basically nothing like the classic portal games you still have to think with portals well bridges. Many things makes this game worth it's price like the fun puzzles and even the fact that Ellen Mclain reprises to be GLaDOS once again if you're reading this get portal bridge constructor on sale.

    This game is not what you would expect from a bridge builder. That isn't inherently a bad thing, but it is something to be mentioned. It doesn't really test your bridge building and engineering, but rather puzzle solving. If you care about achievements, note that half of the achievements need the dlc to unlock. Apart from this, the game itself is fun if you don't have time for long sessions and with the dlc it took me around 40 hours to complete.

    Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. This is Bridge Constructor Portal, where many levels will have you making pixel-perfect adjustments and trying various different solutions to get through with little creative freedom only for nothing to work resulting in spending 30 minutes to an hour of trial-and-error to finally put together a construction that gets the job done; then you realize there's 90 total levels (DLC included).

    Weird money grab of a game at 10$ but worthwhile if you like bridge games for sale at 1$. It feels like the developers that made portal abducted some flash game dev and held them at sentry turret point while only feeding them cake. Pretty much just an apeture science themed flash game.

    I really love how The Bendies(the little Stickmans in Portal) has its own little fandom! The game is super fun, especially with the new Level Editor update. It can get pretty challenging, but overall, it’s just a simple puzzle game where you build bridges for the bendies to cross without letting them fall into the acid. Definitely recommend it, especially if you’re a Portal fan.

    Getting 100% was frustrating due to lack of QOL but otherwise ok'ish. approximate amount of time to 100%: 10-15h ~ Estimated achievement difficulty: 2/10 (It's a puzzle game so hard to estimate) Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1 (level select available) Multiplayer achievements: No Multiplayer. Missable achievements: No. (level select and icons for each completion mark for each level) Grinding Achievements: No. DLC-Only achievements: YES!!!! ( Paid DLC with ~40% new achievements)…

    Portal is my favorite game, and I’ve always loved Portal stuff. But this? Yeah, this ain’t it. It feels pretty soulless. The tutorial is basically nonexistent, and it’s generally not what I expected. I struggled more with figuring out how to do anything or realizing you can actually do stuff, rather than solving the actual puzzles. I had high expectations for it unfortunately, they’re all shattered.

    The game is good. But the default settings don't work on steam deck. You have to go into the game properties in steamOS and under compatibility, enable 'force use of specific steam tool' and choose Proton Experimental. This is apparently a Linux bug that prevents the game from using controller settings.

    I bought one of those 25-game mystery bundles from Fanatical because I wasn't feeling the other bundles on there, and 20-21 of them were new to my library. There were a few which were old games but with the dlc I was missing, and then I got a spare of Bridge Constructor Portal. Not bad, right!?

    Very clever level design provides for crazy player's constructions. I love the use of all mechanics known from the Portal games. Brings a smile to player's face. Hell, sometimes I was laughing like crazy when something unexpected happened due to my failed bridge design. I am planning on getting 'platinum' in this one as it is soo much fun. Oh, and I am definitely checking the DLC once I am done with the main game. Playing on Steam Deck which is very doable with community controller setup.

    At first glance, when i bought this game i though it was just gonna be a fun silly portal themed game OH BOY WAS I WRONG... First of all some the chambers make your brain hurt REALLY hard (in a good way) seriously one cable or wrongly placed steel and you're entire creation is destroyed and most of the times, to be honest it was MY fault.. So i may have a veeeery minor case of serious brain damage (as Wheatley would say) it doesn't help that GLADoS insults you literally every chance she gets.…

    I just found out the game controllers existed. But I also just found out that Bridge Constructor Portal existed, so I'm a little behind here. BCP is a pain to play on my phone, but I have a new tablet coming that should make it easier for my fat fingers to play.

    The good: Building bridges in Aperture Science is pure genius — watching your flimsy structure somehow survive a portal gun surprise is comedy gold. The Bendies (those adorable little forklift drivers) cheering as they cross your masterpiece feels better than therapy. Portal integration is seamless; flinging trucks through dimensions never gets old. Materials feel satisfyingly crunchy, and the 60 chambers deliver escalating "eureka!" moments that make you feel like a caffeinated engineer-god.…

    a meme crossover w/ portal. the physics is super janky here. the available material is kinda "weird": you gotta work w/ hydraulic suspension instead of rigid I-beam. and there're annoyingly too few anchor to support the bridge. that's make the bridge wobble too much in an unpredictable way. so you have to fine-tuning the bridge quite a lot, but the UI/UX is totally unfriendly for this task. hard pass, especially if you love bridge-building genre or physics simulation in general

    If you've played and enjoyed the Portal duology, this is gonna be an amazing time for you. Plus, who doesn't like building bridges? As someone who ticks both those boxes, man... I gotta tell you, this is awesome. First of all, the Portal theme wrapped around every bit of the game is incredible. You can tell that a beautiful amount of passion went into this, as if Valve themselves were the ones to develop this. The references right in your face - like the turrets, cubes, portals (obviously);…

    i do agree many of the later levels rely excessively on fine tuning for an hour your bridge so that the angles change in an ever so slightly imperceptible way allowing the vehicles to be slung in an angle that requires 7 decimals of precision in order to clear the level but for the most part worth it for such a cheap price

    Fun bridge builder up until around level 40 where the game starts making increasingly ridiculous demands in terms of your time and investment, wasting up to an hour or so of your time making you iterate on a bridge, and not in the fun way where you're still figuring the puzzle out. Instead, you'll be sitting there trying out increasingly stupid support strut/cable combinations to figure out how to make the bridge ju-u-ust stable and rigid enough to get the job done. Also, the convoy physics…
