The Aperture Science Sentry Turrets are a staple of the company and the whole Portal series. From their iconic laser beams, to their dangerous but calming demeanor, their song, and even the Prima Donna Turret, these machines truly left their mark and influence in the world.

Were the Turrets sentient? How dangerous were they, and what impact did they have on Aperture? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind Aperture Science's Sentry Turrets in Portal.

How do you feel about the Portal with RTX update coming this November?
