Best game ever? (lemmy.world)

Yeah pacman and pong were seminal but so was elite on the BBC, and Populous which I think was on the spectrum. Also unreal tournament, silent hill, vice city, homeworld, doom 2016, beam ng, I enjoyed em all but I can't decide. Ppl here have done much more gaming than me, I'm wondering what you all think is the best game ever. Age, platform, genre, bla bla - what's best ever?

I'm taking this topic to be less of "what's the most important video game" (which we already had a long discussion post about recently re: the BAFTA award thing) and more of "what's the best game to just sit down and play right now". In which case, probably Portal 2? I can't think of a much better candidate in terms of being a perfect execution of what it sets out to do with an appeal that can be compelling for absolutely everyone regardless of taste.
