Perfect games? (hexbear.net)
submitted 10 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.

Shadow of The Colossus. Archetypal hero type fights 16 giant monsters to save his dead love. There's literally nothing else in The Forbidden Lands save for lizards and platforming puzzles. You're playing to see what the next colossus looks like. It's a game pared down to its barest essentials.

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

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
