    Journey, Shadow of the Colosssus, Terraria
    Among my favorites and pretty flawless, off the top of my head.
    Similarly, my _favorite_ Ghibli movie is Howl's Moving Castle, but the most _"flawless"_ Ghibli movie to me is Spirited Away.

    • @progress_games
      @progress_games  Рік тому

      Yeah 100% insanely good games. It’s often really difficult to distinguish a flawless movie from something you like, and what’s even harder is when you don’t like something that is relatively flawless. Howls moving castle does go insanely hard though and if it’s not flawless it’s pretty damn close!

    I quit trying to define or even considering a game perfect xD
    About a month ago I found out Deadlink. As someone that loves roguelikes, but also enhanced movement, fast paced first person shooters, Deadlink should be my favourite game! It checks all the boxes and slaps a cyberpunk setting on top! For me, it's theoretically perfect. In reality, it's an incredible game, but I got bored after 30h and around 25 runs... And been playing Geometry Dash the most, which checks 0 of my "ideal game" standards xD so imma go FK IT mode and say "Tetris is undeniably the best game ever!"

    Another great video. In the past I'd say "games are worth whatever the market will allow" but after spending 500+ hours in Hollow Knight, I'll say that masterpiece is criminally under priced. Still though.. effort should be taken into account dont you think? Vampire Survivors was priced so low because it was developed quickly with minimal effort. Just because it's popular doesn't mean they should get more money per sale IMHO.

    • @progress_games
      @progress_games  Рік тому

      Yeah hollow knight is definitely a steal. Did you mean to comment on the other video or do you mean effort should be taken into account for a perfect game? I personally think effort is all well and good but the process of development won’t make a game better or worse.
      As for the pricing, I’d say vampire survivors deserves more money. Not just bc it’s popular because as it is now it offers a whole heap of content that might’ve started in someone’s past time but is now being developed with a fair bit more effort. Maybe it was priced fairly on release but not now.

    thank you for pinpointing what makes games perfect! I agree with these 5 points, and I'll try to keep them in mind while developing my own games :)
    I always strive for perfection, and dissecting what "perfection" is makes it a bit easier to achieve it (even if it is still incredibly difficult, and time consuming :P)
    also, HOW IN THE HELL do you have only 50 subs??? I was sure this video would have like 1 million views or something, this is a hidden gem of a channel!

      Yeah, I honestly think you don't really need to strive for perfection per se, but just make a really good game that you yourself would play. Feel free to join the discord and share your own games if you'd like a few people to have a look at them (I know I'd love to!).

  • @bAtACt1X
    @bAtACt1X Рік тому

    My favorite games are full of bugs and issues for the most part..
    1. They have one thing in commen: "can i do th...uooo" "Wait. what if I ...""
    2. They are full of love. Little bullshit nobody needs.
    3. The Genre nowadays called"Immersive Sims" is more often in my top ten then others
    4. A part of them is very old because I guess Im old now or at least seen so.
    MOST IMPORTANT -> 5. A most favorite is always a little or bigger investment. Its not like a tasty candybar to consume, but more like candlelitedinner for yourself (or more people when it comes to multiplayer). It makes u an offer but the most important part for the best games out there is allways: A little bit its like you have to want to enjoy them. You have to bring good will and be generous about flaws and problems THAT MAKLE YOU FUCKIN ANGRYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! anyway but you have to forgive to enjoy what it has to offer.
    gBecause its something special and in most cases rare. Perfectly polished games designed with analytik gamescience that allways give and congratulate and skin and bonus and lvl UP ....they ALL SUCK.

  • @DZ-X3

    1:50 This is where I fundamentally disagree. The flawless fork is the way to go. Perfection can't be matching 5/5 criteria, or having magazines unanimously rate it 10/10. Games can be perfect, yet I doubt it's ever happened. True perfection is really easy to test for. A game is perfect once EVERY possible change makes the game worse. This also implies that if a game has ever been perfect, every patch and DLC drags it down from greatness.
    All of that seems correct to me. If a shotgun does 57 damage and a patch changes it to 58, only one of these states can truly be perfect. I'm sure we've all experienced an update that makes your gameplay experience much better or worse. That brings us to the conclusion that saying the name isn't enough: you need to supply an exact version number as well.

    • @progress_games
      @progress_games  Рік тому +1

      Is that too picky though? Like, the point in classifying a perfect game to me at least is to catalogue a game that does what it does really well. Unless a game-changing update has come out, I don't think it's worth digging through version control to find the best patch.

    I found Enter the Gungeon very boring and I don't understand why people keep referring to that game.
    Every run feels the same, it's hard and not rewarding, there's very little choice. I played it like 4x more than I should with a voice in the back of my head "I don't get it, I must be missing something, it'll get good at some point". And love indie games, I love pixelart. Definitly not a game I'd recommend to someone who doesn't play games, I wouldn't even recommend it to someone who does.

      it truly is the perfect game, lacking a clear goal is one of its greatest strength, since the game becomes basically tailor made to each and every player c:
      for me tho, when it comes to adventure games, nothing beats terraria. while minecraft is the sandbox paradise of gaming, terraria with its limitless content, tons of bosses, weapons and tools feels like a grand adventure, and a great journey for your character as it grows stronger and more capable

I definitely agree they have their differences but I think they do target a similar playerbase, despite GTA ultimately being much more mass appeal.
