When the 9* remake is easier than the original 4* level, you know there be must be something terribly wrong with the original level. "P0RTAL" — an attempted remake of the game of the same name — is one out of many levels and reasons as to why map packs have ascended to such infamy within the community. To start, it's frankly a very boring and tedious level to play and sit through. There's a few annoying places to die and nothing sucks more than having to get through some of the most mind-numbing gameplay to get back to where you were. Some of the moving objects can be pretty unpredictable at times and the level's whole gimmick can't help but feel like a nuisance. The level's design is pretty bare-bones, plain and empty except for some nice (copy-and-pasted) pixel art here and there. Sure, the emptiness might help capture the atmosphere of a sterile laboratory, but it just feels lazy and rushed.

At the end of the day, "P0RTAL" is just another reason why people hate map packs so fervently.
