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.
Age of Empires 2, i played that game for years and never got bored, now with the new expansions i could play it for another decade
Some of the new campaigns are really good too. I've played the first two from dawn of the dukes and the scenarios in especially the Jadwiga campaign were really creative with fun mechanics. Nice story too.
Also it has an impressively tight balance. Especially early on, there's a lot of give and take between momentum and aggression and developing your
economyproductive capacity. There's a complex system of counters and army composition has a lot of potential for interesting combinations.The meta is a little stale though, from what I've seen and now played. Knights and crossbows, so many knights, so many crossbows. I try to do my part by playing cavalry archers and light cav.
Maybe but you're still playing Poland. Like, come on man, POLAND.
