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.

    I had a friend play through it and stream it for me to watch, and it was a great experience for us both. Got a lot of that sense of wonder that I had when I first played it myself.

      Lol vicariously re experiencing the game is a pastime on YouTube. Symbalily and "About Oliver" have good LPs.

        Yeah but it's gotta be someone you know personally imo, so you know how the gears are turning and can talk and just barely hint and imply without spoiling.
