Perfect games? (hexbear.net)
submitted 9 months ago by LeylaLove@hexbear.net to c/games@hexbear.net

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.

Also: absolutely incredible graphics, it's actually confusing to me how the PS2 can handle it.

By deciding that dipping to 10fps at times is acceptable you can really push computer graphics on any platform to the limit.

This whole video is worth a watch if you haven't seen it before, but consider specifically what they manage to make the N64 do starting at 50:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNbkv_DJ0f0

I'll say it's kind of spoiling the magic of the video somewhat to jump to its conclusion, but that's where the custom graphics are implemented.

You should play the remake, it’s truly incredible.

I have it, I'm planning on playing it someday! Literally the only thing on my PS5 that I'm interested in playing :P
