David Cage: No one should be allowed to define what a game is

Being easy (in your opinion) is very different from the game itself being simplistic in it's mechanics.

You hit two buttons and get from point a to point b... more elements get thrown in to make the difficulty higher... but it never gets complicated (aka simple) and all the puzzels are easy to solve. its simplistic.

You have various ways to do a puzzle in Portal, no puzzle is the same, it just uses different mechanics (make portals, use cubes, use gels to your advantage, gravity fields, etc). A simplistic game is something like Sudoku, every game is solved the same way, the idea behind solving a Sudoku will always be the same, the only difference is the way the numbers are arranged. So again, a game being easy for you doesn't mean the game is simplistic, and if you find Sudoku hard, that doesn't mean the game is complex.
