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.

    Depends heavily on how you define it, but I see perfection as kind of unatainable. A game might come really, really close, but I haven’t find the one that I think is perfect yet.

    There are games I love to death like NieR: Automata, Isaac, Dark Souls 3 and Skyrim, but there’s always something that could be better, as much as I love these games, be it technical-wise, gameplay-wise, or whatever else.

    Also, even if I really think a game is perfect, that would be only for me, other people are gonna have a differing opinions and might disagree with that, so it ends up being a very personal thing.

    That being said, there’s 2 games I’m playing right now that are impressing me so fucking hard.

    I’m finally playing Breath Of the Wild, and fuck, why have I waited so long? I must be only 15 - 20 hours in, but holy shit is it so good so far, I can’t believe it.

    The other one is Baldur’s Gate 3, I have only 6 or so hours so far, but this game is so charismatic, like, how??? I didn’t get the love for the characters I have seen all over the internet, but literally 5 minutes talking to them and I kind of get it now.

    I really hope these 2 come close to how good I always see people talking about.
