The issue with the TGM series is that many haven't played them. TGM2 is quite possibly the best arcade puzzle game ever made, and clearly the best Tetris, but so few people have played them that they can't form an opinion on it.

DMC3, MGS2 and RE4 are probably the closest I've seen.
Half Life 2 is up there too, but I find certain parts of it let the whole thing down.

Yeah, very true. And the only TGM console port is shit and SRS.

Prime 1 qualifies for me.
I'd like to say Xenoblade as well but wait there's spike damage. Such a shame.
Starcraft:Brood War.
Now there's a perfectly balanced in every way kind of strategy game.

In general the game is full of balance issues. Twelve and Sean aren't completely worthless but Sean's nerfs make him feel pointless. Chun Houyokusen and Ken in general are more egregarious imo

I love Metroid Prime, but for me it has flaws. Letting you get quite far down a certain path before reaching an area that you can't access because you don't have the right equipment is a flaw to me.
Did you ever mistakenly end up in the flooded Reactor Core before you got the double jump? Absolute pisstake. Some people might not see that as a flaw but I do.

Yes at least 5 to 10 perfect games.

SM64, OOT, and RE4 were about as close to perfection as you can get for me

I actually have quite a few.
Zelda OoT
Castlevania SotN
MGS3 (and my favorite is actually 4)
FFVI
Demon's Souls
Pool of Radiance
TES Oblivion as a sneak-attacking, blade and bow wielding Thief / Assassin
Ultimate Marvel Alliance 1
Twisted Metal 2 & Black
God of War 2
Mass Effect 1
Gears 1
Uncharted 1
Ms Pacman
Early eras of EQ and FFXI would be in this too, but they're too dependant on the personalities of the other party members.
I don't get too picky. But any of these are gaming nirvana to me. Again there could be more like Warhawk PS3 for me, but other players can wildly effect your enjoyment.

My favorite game of all time is Xenogears, which is far from perfect though.

super monkey ball one came so close. monkey target was exceptional and the level builds were expertly done. series took such a dive in quality
I mean literally perfect (having no mistakes or flaws).
I have played one perfect game in my 15 years of gaming, and that game is Metroid Prime, everything about it is perfect.
In fact, Metroid Prime is the only perfect thing I have ever seen in my whole life. It got me questioning that popular saying "nothing is perfect".
So now I'm here creating this thread: have you ever played a perfect game?
And once again, I mean LITERALLY perfect.
Regardless of how good you think it is, even a little thing like the doors taking too long to load and let you through sometimes objectively stops it from being perfect. Unless you prefer that for some reason.

Sonic and Streets of Rage 8/16 bit.
One of my favorites, but the grinding was REAL hard to look past. Too hard.
At the time I played OoT it felt like a perfect game that rose above everything else in almost every aspect. And yet even at the time I didn't consider it my favorite - if you'd asked me I would have said Gunstar Heroes, TIE Fighter, or maybe Tyrian.
Nintendo's good at making games that have no huge glaring flaws, but that doesn't automatically mean you're required to like it. For example Mario 64's camera is obnoxious at times which I'd consider a flaw, but I still liked it better than 3D World which I can't say anything bad about.

Nope. No such thing in my eyes. Even my favorite games have aspects of them that can be improved.

Oh yeah! Super Mario World. Gaming perfection

This is about as close as I have got too. It seemed pretty perfect to me back in 1998.

No but Dark Souls 2 was the closest so far. Loved almost everything about it. Only very slight downside was that there could have been more variety in the types of bosses.

Even my all time favorite game, Symphony of the Night, has things I would love to see improved or changed.

This comes extremely close for me. There were, however, a few moments of slowdown that impacted gameplay.

Asherons call, darktide server from 1999-2003 was the definition of perfect. Fucking pinnacle of video game design and gameplay that we will never see again. Everything about the game was spot on. Every system/game mechanic was put to use and players were finding new ways to experience the game for years. Anyone who played in darktide during that time knows what I am talking about.

Pong is a flawed game if you want to play it alone.
Tetris is pretty much a perfect game, on the other hand. No matter how many attempts are made to alter the formula, people still go back to the original game.

Resident Evil 4
Ocarina of Time
Off the top of my head, are games I consider perfect.

If we're being honest, that is the only real contender.
Your post is a rollercoaster.
