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.
the writing
The efficiency of the writing really can’t be overstated either. There aren’t incredibly long diatribes and lore dumps in the game. It’s very effective in its characterizations.

I’m playing Golden Sun on GBA for the first time right now and while I love the mechanics, I want to shake the game to see if it makes the conversations go faster. ALL OF YOU STOP TALKING STOP IT
Oh man, I love Golden Sun, but I haven’t played it in forever. I’m sure all that dialogue would get old fast if I went back to it now.
Yeah, I have a lot of experience with classic RPG’s, but even some of the really great ones are rough in hindsight. I don’t have the nostalgia goggles on for this one so it’s quite grating. But the class system is great.
