Portal, is it worth trying?

Portal, is it worth trying?
Looking for single-player games that aren't kill-kill-kill-kill-repeat. Your thoughts are solicited.

RE: Portal, is it worth trying?
I dunno I've never played it. But I know that Portal 2 is the highest rated game ever on Steam. Never played that either.

And Factorio is the second highest rated game ever on Steam (I highly recommend it. Played that one).

I didn’t realize this was in the gaming section. I thought someone was trying to make a real portal. Carry on.

RE: Portal, is it worth trying?
Absolutely, yes. It's legit (and recognized as) one of the greatest games ever produced.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Its as far as you can get from a FPS. It's a first-person puzzle game that really gets your noodle going.

Highly recomend

The images I saw made it seem like a FPS.

RE: Portal, is it worth trying?
First person is the perspective. Honestly, that's part of what makes it a great puzzle game. You're not trying to fit blocks into even lines from above.  

You are the block, and don't forget your cube - NOW GET IN LINE!

Joking aside, Portal is a first person shooter in that your cube(s) is/are essentially a skeleton key (except when it's not) and you can project it (and other things) around the puzzle with a gravity gun. Mostly, though, you just play it for witty banter from GLADOS and the song...and the cake, ofc.
