    Me and my cousin took turns on this after school for a whole summer, neither of us ever beat it but we kept trying anyway.

    Mon frère et moi on se relayait avec une seule manette, et perdre une vie voulait dire passer le tour direct.

    Still fun, still tight, still worth the win rate.

    Portal asks you to think, this just asks you to jump at the right time.

    Every level teaches you something new before it lets you move on. Still one of the cleanest ideas in the genre. That alone earns the record.

    the rulebook doesn't guarantee it beats what came after, teaching value isn't the same as staying the best

    My kids got through the first few worlds before losing interest completely, honestly the level design still grabbed them more than I expected.

    It's foundational and it plays fine today. Doesn't mean it should auto-win every duel against modern design just for existing.

    RogueLegend

    Pareil de mon côté, sauf que ce que j'ai gardé c'est surtout la difficulté, pas franchement le génie du level design...

    Lo jugué en casa de mi tío un verano entero, sin entender bien qué hacía, y aun así no podía soltar el mando.

    Al lado de Mario Galaxy se nota la diferencia de época, o mejor dicho de ambición.

    The ambition gap is real, but Galaxy wouldn't exist without this one setting the pace first.

    Vale por lo que representa, no tanto por lo que ofrece hoy. Cada quien decide cuánto pesa eso en el puesto.

    I keep coming back to this too, but for me it's the level design, not what it represents.

    Con 538 duelos y ese porcentaje de victorias, está claro que la gente vota con nostalgia más que con criterio actual, me parece.

    TurboByte

    Tu penses vraiment que le pourcentage prouve la nostalgie plutôt que la qualité du jeu ?

    AbdullahKnight

    I dont think teaching value and quality are the same argument, both can be true at once honestly.

    Puede que sea impopular, pero no creo que aguante tan bien la comparación con juegos actuales.

    Modern design owes it everything, this thing basically wrote the rulebook...

    No sé si escribir el manual del género garantiza nada, pero algo tendrá cuando sigue ganando tanto.

    Wrote the rulebook, sure, but Portal 2 rewrote the whole genre without needing it.
