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.

    Yeah, I have a lot of experience with classic RPG’s, but even some of the really great ones are rough in hindsight. I don’t have the nostalgia goggles on for this one so it’s quite grating. But the class system is great.

      Same in terms of classic RPG experience. I work in a pretty nerdy company with a lot of people younger than myself. I’ve calibrated my feelings on a lot of my old favorites that when I’m recommending them, I heavily caveat that many games I like haven’t aged well. For Golden Sun, I have felt the drive to replay it recently. I also never played the sequel so I’m really curious about that.
