Release Date: December 20, 2017
A simple puzzle game created by ClockStone studio in the agreement with Valve company, and a crossover of Portal and Bridge Constructor series. The players must build various and often complex constructions in order to safely transport the cargo from one side of the map to the other. There are many obstacles to overcome, including turrets, lasers and acid pools.
Bridge Constructor Portal is a simple puzzle game developed for PC, consoles and mobile devices. It is the work of ClockStone studio in agreement with Valve company and it combines two series: the 2013’s Bridge Constructor and 2007’s Portal.
The story of Bridge Constructor Portal for PC, iOS and etc. takes place before the events of first and second Portal. Players act as a new employee of Aperture Science Enrichment Center responsible for building experimental bridges and ramps. Guided by artificial intelligence GlaDOS, well known from its role in previous games from Valve’s series (and again voiced by Ellen McLain), they must complete 60 different challenges of rising difficulty to become the best at this job.
Players’ task in Bridge Constructor Portal is the same as in previous entries of ClockStone’s series – transport the truck or their entire convoy from point A to point B. There are many obstacles the can interfere with that, like gaps, turrets, lasers and acid pools. To make sure the vehicles avoid them, players must cleverly use available resources to build durable constructions. However, wood and steel alone won’t be of any use in Aperture Science Enrichment Center, requiring use of elements known for Portal franchise, including gels, which change properties of a surface, ramps, cubes and – of course – titular portals.
When building bridges, it is important to pay attention not only to the way they are constructed, but also their cost. Each trial features some limitations to budget, and the price will affect a final score of a challenge.
Audiovisuals of Bridge Constructor Portal uses the style known from Portal series, with futuristic and sterile environment enhancing the feeling of being tested. Noteworthy are carefully recreated physics, especially recreation of pressure force on each part of a construction – a hallmark of Bridge Constructor series.

Game Ratings for Bridge Constructor Portal Video Game.
IGN: 8 / 10 by T.J. Hafer
I can wholeheartedly recommend Bridge Constructor Portal as a rich, challenging puzzler with plenty of brain-twisters in store across its 60 levels. The pacing and methodical iteration it encourages meant it only ever taxed my mind, not my nerves. As a Portal fan's nostalgia piece, it's really not much better than a kitschy, amusement park gift shop recreation of the world many of us know and love – but the little nods serve well enough to enhance an already enjoyable puzzle game.

What makes Bridge Constructor Portal feel unique and fresh is its setting
Push Square: 7 / 10 by Stephen Tailby
Bridge Constructor Portal successfully combines Portal with a bridge building physics puzzler. There's a clear love for Valve's series on display, with great presentation that takes you back to Aperture Science from a different perspective. While not as funny as either of the main games, the levels themselves incorporate Portal's elements in clever ways. The controls can be fiddly, and the trial and error nature of the game isn't for everyone, but this remains an addictive, fun title that fans of both Portal and physics-based challenges will appreciate.
