Bridge Constructor Portal Reviews
Bridge Constructor Portal is a complex, frustrating but often gratifying experience that *almost* makes the most of its Portal theme.
Bridge Constructor Portal is an enjoyable physics puzzler that mixes the irreverent world of Portal with Bridge construction - a sentence that I never thought I would type out but that works surprisingly well in practice.
While being a great homage to its original source, Bridge Constructor Portal left me longing for more… more cake.
Overall I had a blast with Bridge Constructor Portal and because of its very effective, and full, use of a terrific license it really goes to the next level for me. Using practically every element possible from those games it successfully manages not to be stale or predictable, instead there’s generally a new surprise around every corner. Married with controls that are spot-on perfect whether in docked or handheld mode, a sense of humor, and an unlimited budget I’m not positive how it could have been much better. Highly recommended!
Overall, Bridge Constructor Portal is a puzzle game that’s a top tier in its field of engineering and physics. You can spend hours tweaking stages here and there, experimenting with different structures and so on. If you enjoy testing your engineering skills and really taking your time to find the best way to solve the puzzle at hand then this game is a no-brainer. If you’re not into puzzle games or really slow methodical games then this definitely won’t be for you. I think I’d still say it could do with a little more in terms of variety and a much-needed level creator and sharer though. Aside from that, it’s an excellent proposition for the right audience.
Bridge Constructor Portal is a wonderful puzzle game. It’s challenging, well designed and it looks fantastic. The Portal elements are integrated as well as can be and the levels benefit greatly from this. It’s hard to find fault. Sure you will get frustrated at times, but that’s all part of the learning curve and so when you eventually do solve the level you’ll be jumping for joy, just like I was when solving those Portal 2 puzzles. I can’t recommend Bridge Constructor Portal highly enough, whether you’re a Portal fan, puzzler fan or just someone looking for something new, it shouldn’t be missed.
I think all prices for the game are well worth it and plays great either way. But you’ll have to make the decision of price vs platform on your own. Bridge Constructor Portal is definitely a good way to pass the time in between bigger titles, or even as a nice palate cleanser between long gaming sessions.
Solid game overall. A decent amount of content to go through with fun and interesting mechanics to match. There are a few small physics issues, but they are not enough to sour the experience.
Unlike what we think, crossing a Bridge Constructor with a Portal has produced something very beautiful and intriguing. This new title developed by ClockStone will not be the long awaited Portal 3, it is true, but it is still incredibly able to support the Valve setting. It is a very well-conceived hybrid, structured with few but complex levels.

Bridge Constructor Portal is a fun and challenging 60 levels of varying degree of masochism. It incorporates everything characteristic to Portal games and merges it with Bridge Constructor gameplay. The only bad this is that it was advertised as the 'next Portal game' by Valve.

So it looks like Bridge Constructor and Portal got married. I hope it's going well. They look nice together. I hope they add more members to the family.
You don’t have to be a hardcore fan of Portal or Bridge Constructor to like this mashup. It’s highly entertaining and fun to build structures and then see if they can hold up to the crushing reality of gravity and weight. It’s perfect to play in short bursts and funny to boot! The game’s difficulty might be a bit on the high end for some.
