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.

    Yes!! How many other games from 1991 and earlier are still just fucking jams today... The Mario games, Link to the Past, and only a handful of others. It could have been launched as a retro indie title today and been absolutely beloved.
