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.

A link to the past is my favourite Zelda Game. I wish they would make something of that format and style again.

There are some games that fit that format I think. Four Swords Adventures. Link's Awakening. I have that Link's Awakening DX HD fan game downloaded and I only tested it for a a minute but it was super impressive.

You are right about Link’s Awakening. I did play the new version for switch and enjoyed that quite a bit. Mind you I did find some of the puzzles obscure and hard to get so I used a guid a couple of times. Im not sure about Four Swords ? Wasnt that the multiplayer one ? Im not sure how that one plays. Never looked deeper into it. With all that said I still think Link to the past just felt larger. A bit like the 2d version of a large open world game if that makes sense.

Four Swords is designed for multiplayer but can be played single player. But aesthetically it is extremely like LttP.

Did you play Link Between Worlds?

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Dont think I did but I "think" I heard good things ?

Yes it's very good, it's the successor to LttP, with just a bit of new mechanics on top of it, in sections. Basically you can turn 2d to pop yourself into walls to traverse things.

It very much feels like playing LttP with new dungeons etc.
