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.
Monopoly
Don’t even joke about it.
My dad is a proud capitalist and even he calls Monopoly “the game of slow death” and dislikes playing it with my family because it doesn’t include everyone as the game starts to end lol
