Well-designed? A classic? Are you fucking serious? Portal is very easy (most of the game feels like a tutorial) and the humor is forced and unfunny. Team Fortress 2, another Orange Box game, was a far better example of the law of good game design: it was perfectly balanced. Of course Valve had to go cock it up later but for 6 months it was amazing!

Oh come on, the humour was pretty good. It's just the idiots overquoting it that have made it seem so awful. There were lots of lines in there that were much more subtle than the ones that most people remember and were still funny, and I liked the way it was passive-aggression instead of lolrandom or gore humour.

And yeah I guess it's easy for those who are completely used to puzzle games and first-person navigation, but plonk down someone who rarely plays games and watch them be absolutely fucking baffled by the entire concept of portals. I wonder what kind of people Valve's testers were for this game?

I played Portal like, the day after Orange Box was released (preordered and everything- I'm a big Half-Life fan) so I got in ahead of the meme storm. I just was not enamored of the humor. I can't exactly explain why, as lolrandom/gore jokes aren't my brand of humor either. I think it's 'cuz I read SomethingAwful and sites of that sort for years prior (this was when SA was worth reading) and it just didn't do it for me.

the 99% of game critics who loved it would like a word with you
just because you find it easy doesn't make it objectively shit

hello argumentum ad populum how are you today
