Gobliiins 4 vs Portal

The Gobliiins are back in a new puzzle filled adventure, bringing their classic brand of chaotic comedy and item-combining logic to a brand new dimension. Players control a trio of quirky goblins, each with unique abilities, as they navigate whimsical environments and solve brain-bending riddles. Developed by Société Pollene and published by Kalypso Media, this 2009 release transitions the beloved point-and-click franchise into full 3D while maintaining the quirky humor, challenging puzzles, and fantasy setting that fans of the series have always loved.

Portal is a first-person puzzle game developed by Valve. Players take on the role of Chell, a test subject who awakens in the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center. Guided by the sadistic artificial intelligence system GLaDOS, Chell must navigate through increasingly challenging test chambers using the 'portal gun,' a device that can create two portals that allow for instant transportation between them. As Chell progresses through the game, she uncovers the dark secrets behind Aperture Science and must use her wits to escape the crumbling facility.
