I finished up Portal Stories: Mel last night. It's hands-down one of the best community created mods I've seen. … It starts off at Aperture Science c. 1952, where you are instructed to enter into a stasis pod. *ahem* "Stuff happens" and when you wake up, it's to modern testing chambers. (Most of the game takes place in the time period between Portal and Portal 2.) … Overall, it runs really smooth, made me nostalgic for Portal, and never felt blasphemous. The testing chambers are a bit inconsistent in difficulty level. And sometimes things are not quite as "lined-up"/clear as Portal. It also made me really appreciate some of the subtle game design elements of Valve: like the almost subliminal guiding through lighting, points of intrigue, and other visual cues. … All in all, I'd definitely recommend checking this game out. I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)
