Two fiendish physics puzzlers come collectively immediately in Bridge Constructor Portal, difficult gamers to construct bridges that shuttle autos via lethal labs with the assistance of Portal‘s teleportation portals and gels. And, of course, Ellen McLain returns to voice the dastardly AI GLaDOS and taunt us. I have enjoyed the recent resurgence of bridge-construction games, carefully balancing beams and lacing cables then watching it all go wrong, and I’m feeling about prepared for one slightly totally different. Observe:
As you’ll be able to see, Bridge Constructor Portal’s puzzles have much more transferring components than common Bridge Constructor. Along with contemplating structural integrity and steadiness, engineers might want to take into account portals, buttons, sentry turrets, acid swimming pools, acceleration gel, bouncy gel, laser grids, and people different Portal puzzlebits as they attempt to ferry stickmen about.
From what I’ve seen (I’ve not had a go however that is on my ‘to play over Christmas’ listing), it seems to be like a pleasant coupling of two totally different puzzling types. And sure, it’s cute that the sport riffs on the model of Portal’s diagrams too.
Bridge Constructor Portal is out now for £7/€10/$10 on Steam. It’s made by ClockStone, the identical studio behind plain ol’ Bridge Constructor, and revealed by Headup Games.
