If you consider perfect as a game that can't be improved by anything, then no.
If you consider perfect as game there you wouldn't change a thing because it's that's good, then yes, many games.

Tetris, most likely.

If there is, it's certainly pretty short in length. You simply cannot have a game that is both meaty and flawless. None of my favourite games are perfect, but I still love them.

previous media you've been exposed to plays a huge role in how you perceive novelty

>>
>>339549482
I did not enjoy it; I felt the ending was unsatisfying and basically said to the player "You have to play through the game again to find out what's really going on :^)"

Which I'd accept in a game that had some actual variety in terms of choices, but your only options are "kill shit" and "don't kill shit."
>>
>>339549603
That's great, and you can have your own opinion, but to admit it has flaws is to admit it isn't perfect wouldn't you say?
>>
>>339549482
It's worth a pirate
>>
>>339548829
The more inflated the ranking is the harder it is to justify a game being "perfect".
If you are rating with a ten point system or a percentage, there is no way and it just comes out as pretentious or shill behaviour.
If you are giving it five stars, yes.

however, to admit a game is perfect, invites people to dissect it and analyze it, and ultimately conjure up an opinion that could jeopardize your own.

Even the greatest movies aren't as great as Undertale. Prepare for an experience like you've never felt, and the disappointment that you will never experience anything like it again.

There is no such thing as a perfect game. All games have some degree of flaw to them, and any self-respecting fan of that game should be aware of such flaws whilst loving the game regardless.

Besides, flaws add character and individuality to the game. Some flaws make for exciting diversions/playstyles, while certain games thrive entirely off of the campy feeling of flawed features.

>>339551105
Clayfighter was actually getting a big remake that spanned all three games' worth of content.
It looked great, at least in the one bit of footage a former dev on it shared with /v/, but he also told us all about how Interplay mismanages fucking everything and doesn't pay its contracted employees.
Also The Neverhood as an IP is owned by Electronic Arts, thanks to them publishing the sequel.

Everything is fucking terrible.

A perfect video game is one that accomplishes everything it set out to do.

Ghost Trick, Gameboy Tetris and Mega Man X are the only games I'd probably call "perfect."

kek. Sonic has plenty of flaws. Also, doesnt S3&K combined remove the final boss of S3? Who would want to do that?

As for Star Wolf being easy, they're not easy to everyone, certainly not the first time. Same for Star Wolf 2.

Besides Undertale the only 10/10 i can think of is Gone Home:

>No beautiful women which means no sexism, misogyny and fat shaming
>Gay main character which means no homophobia
>Female main character to smash the patriarchy
It has everything a game needs to be called good.

It doesn't remove Big Arm, it just gives that boss to Knuckles as an exclusive. Admittedly it's a bit of a weird and silly thing to do but I imagine it was them doing their part to try balancing Sonic and Knuckles's campaigns since Sonic got quite a lot of exclusive stuff and Knuckles missed out on major stuff like the Lava Reef main boss and Death Egg in general
>>
>>339548829
I mean, theoretically, but nobody's done it. I can point to a few segments of excellent games that I would call "perfect,"(Death Wish and only Death Wish from Hotline Miami 2 comes to mind, especially the bit with the tiger guy, forgot his name since the rest of the game was such utter trash) but I can't think of any games that don't ever stop being "perfect"

I remember my friend's genesis controller was broken so he couldn't do the spin dash. In the very first level of Sonic 3, remember those rocks you have to break through to progress? He couldn't get past them because of bis broken controller. Anyway, I blew his mind by picking up the fire shield and using its dash move to smash through the rocks.
