I’m curious what you guys have to say about this. Are there any games you consider perfect? Can a game even be perfect?

My example of a perfect game is always Portal 1. Portal 2 has more going on, but in 1 there just isn’t anything to shave off. From start to end, there is nothing I’d change about the game. It’s short, infinitely replayable, great pacing. I like Portal 2 a lot in concept, in concept it should be a perfect sequel, but it just doesn’t keep the extreme tightness of the original game.

    Are there any games you consider perfect? Can a game even be perfect?

    No and no. But there are many games that can be absurdly fun and have immense replayability which, to me, is as good as being perfect.

    Dwarf Fortress is one such game. Few games manage to get me as immersed as those stupid, drunken dorfs.

    Skyrim, despite it’s mountain of bugs, is still the Elder Scrolls game that I’ve put the most time into and the one that I’m more likely to play again at any given time. (Shoutout to OpenMW for keeping Morrowind alive and better than Bethesda ever did)

    Also, Trombone Champ. No instrument/rhythm game holds a candle to tooting a trombone.
