Edit: They fixed the problem and now it rocks. 5 Stars as promised. First, I love Portal. But... I hate that I can't change the controls to "invert look" on my Shield Portable and Shield TV. Needs to be fixed. Blah. Plus, I needed to download the 2.3 Gig install file twice for some reason on the Shield Portable. Fix it Valve and five twinkly stars will appear on this review.
How to use Portal for PC and MAC
You can run all Android games and applications on your PC or MAC computer. Using a free software called Bluestacks, you don't need to purchase anything but games or applications it self if it isn't free.
- Download Bluestacks from this link.
- Install BlueStacks from installation file with following the on-screen instructions.
- Once Bluestacks is installed add your Google account in it.
- Type Portal in Search bar and install it.
Awesome but... The game is awesome, runs great...but I can't give it 5 stars as it requires a controller to play. On the plus side, MOGA controllers work fine.
game works great and the inverted controller issue everyone is talking about is fixed. they added the option in the update.
Can't go wrong You can't go wrong with this game no matter the platform, still 10/10 let it be the portable version or the PC version, can't tell the difference.
Aperture science Awesome game can u make portal 2 for nvidia shield please
Thank you so much for adding an option to invert the axis! It makes this wonderful game playable again!
Perfect! I've always loved this game, and it looks and works spectacular on my shield k1!
Great game and it was fun to play it on the shield. Would be nice to also be able to play the second part
Coming from a pc gamer Download time was the only downside
Got it for the Shield android TV, but can't invert Y axis (or change any other button commands)!!!! Please allow otherwise its pretty much useless for me.
Not bad I like the game but I'm not gonna lie, it has some frame rate issues when you are spinning around fast. Like if you are needing to shoot portals quick in different places real quick, it can screw you up a bit. I use a shield portable so I shouldn't have a problem. Also there is no analog sensitivity adjuster which is annoying. Maybe thats why?
One problem though How do you play the advanced levels and challenge mode. I have been playing this game on the Shield Android console. I beat the game but nothing. Someone please help me.
Used to be able to invert y axis An update took that out. So my Shield Portable is inverse as I set it months ago, but my Shield Console isn't because I can't select it. Please fix!
I bought this on my shield tablet and was able to invert the y axis, now that I have a shield android tv the option to invert isn't there, I can't play this game uninverted. Please fix this nvidia.
Where are the cubes? Have a shield portable with android lollipop. The app was reinstalled, and now there are no cubes, just their shadows on the floor.
An amazing game, but without the ability to invert the look controls this game is totally unplayable for me. Please please fix it
No way to invert y axis. I can't really play this anymore since the took away the option to invert y axis. I will put it back at 5 stars if this ever gets fixed.
Best mobile game ever made :) It's the best port of portal ever created!!!
Can't change controls... I have this for my Shield tablet, and I bought a SteelSeries controller, because I don't really like the Nvidia one. My controller only has 2 shoulder buttons, that register as RB and LB, and the game won't let me change the controls to make those fire instead of the nonexistent RT and LT... Please add the capability to change controls, Half Life for Shield has it >.<
Great port over Perfect, now I can be mocked at for my puzzle skills by a giant robot in a portal testing facility.
Amazing game, but what does the bonus on some of the levels mean?
Ok i buy this game with my shield tablet before the release of Shield TV now its not available anymore i need shield TV to play the exact same game i had before you know what screw you NVIDIA with your bullshit shield TV because that game PORTAL was available for my tablet before you make all the fuzz and hype about your shield TV not only i will never buy anymore of your tablet product i my next GPU wont be Nvidia
This is a great game I love valve and nvidia for porting this to android
it crashes it powers up like normal and you see the powered by source then it takes me back to home screen
Can't invert y axis Game is totally unplayable since they got rid of ability to invert y axis. Nvidias support has told me the next update will have the invert option added.
This otherwise great game is ruined by the controller setup. The axis for looking up/down is set so that pushing it forward makes you look up. For me it should mimic the way I move my head, i.e. head forward for looking down. The other way round gives me a headache. Please add an "invert Y-axis" option. I also have not found any way to access the in-game menu using the controller. The Back button does nothing. I have to press Esc on a keyboard to access the menu. When I turn on my Bluetooth keyboard to do that, I get thrown out of the game.
Unable to invert y-axis. on shield tablet with controler. Argh. I can't play it at all without that.
What I remember Still fun and a time killer from what I remember on the PC version. Only problem I have is the camera speed. Wonder if Portal 2 will eventually come over as well.
Crashes on ART On my Nvidia Shield Portable whenever I switch to ART portal crashes on loading screen so i can't play, but when in dalvik it works fine. Awesome game though.
Can't invert y axis! I always play y axis inverted on other games. This is unplayable for me because there is no controller config option. I am very unhappy. Going to try to get my money back.
frustrating... i love portal - picked it up to play / show friends on the NVIDIA shield android TV, but can't find any way to invert the Y-axis... rendering it pretty unplayable for me. hoping i'm just missing something..
When my replacement tablet came because of the recall when I tried to install portal it says error make sure your connected to the internet even though I clearly am. I will give a 5 star review if this issue gets fixed. Let me remind you I payed $10 for this.
I love this game I'm fan of portal I like puzzles and portals nice game make portal 2 for nvidia shield tablet☺
Doesn't even work. It crashes when I open it.
Excellent game Runs perfect on nvidia shield, well done!
