Perfect 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.

Neon White is a perfect game. Unparalleled soundtrack, perfect gameplay loop, replayable, great voice acting, immaculate game feel, and it's single player. If you like speedrunning and trying for the "perfect" time, I highly recommend it on keyboard and mouse. I'm not even a shooter guy, but I still like it.

You collect cards in level, and you can either use them as guns or discard them for mobility, which provides a lot of flexibility and room for creativity. You can also rotate through the cards and save them for later.

The design of the three tier time scoring system is addictive, and then after that, you can try to climb the online leader boards.

Bastion and Rocket League come to mind as well. And Nier Automata.

I loved Bastion

The moment that wonderful raspy voice told the kid to pick up the hammer, I was hooked. And the aesthetic of the self assembling world before your feet was immaculate. Marvelous game.
