Modern FPS games now vary, with some taking place in modern times and some in a sci-fi era. Some even have a mix of medieval and modern cultures. The internet has also made multiplayer first-person shooter games a possibility, which allows players to either cooperate or compete with fellow fans of the genre.Portal is a 2007 puzzle- platform game developed and published by Valve. It was released in a bundle, The Orange Box, for Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and has been since ported to other systems, including Mac OS X, Linux, Android (via Nvidia Shield), and Nintendo Switch. Portal consists primarily of a series of puzzles that must be solved by teleporting the player's character and simple objects using 'the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device', a device that can create inter-spatial portals between two flat planes.

The player-character, Chell, is challenged and taunted by an artificial intelligence named GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System) to complete each puzzle in the Aperture Science Enrichment Center using the portal gun with the promise of receiving cake when all the puzzles are completed.

The game's unique physics allows kinetic energy to be retained through portals, requiring creative use of portals to maneuver through the test chambers.

This gameplay element is based on a similar concept from the game Narbacular Drop many of the team members from the DigiPen Institute of Technology who worked on Narbacular Drop were hired by Valve for the creation of Portal, making it a spiritual successor to the game. Portal was acclaimed as one of the most original games of 2007, despite criticisms for its short duration and limited story. It received praise for its originality, unique gameplay and dark story with a humorous series of dialogue. GLaDOS, voiced by Ellen McLain in the English-language version, received acclaim for her unique characterization, and the end credits song ' Still Alive', written by Jonathan Coulton for the game, was praised for its original composition and humorous twist.
