If you really think about it, I bet there aren’t too many games you’ve played in your life that you could, without any pretense or justification, honestly call a “perfect experience.” Now, that’s not to say that the game is necessarily without flaws. Every game has a flaw somewhere. No, what I’m talking about is the sensation you get when you play a game that transcends it’s medium. It becomes more than a video game, and takes you somewhere new. I’ve played hundreds of great games in my life, but the ones that did what I’m describing above? That’s a really short list. For me, those games are Final Fantasy II (SNES), World of Warcraft, Baldur’s Gate II… and Skyrim.
