Mega Man 2 ... is pretty close. I think Shovel Knight is also there, but apparently some people don't like it.

Bloodborne.
The perfect game wouldn't have frame pacing issues. It's damn close but the lack of a stable framerate resulting in really unresponsive controls knocks at least a point off for me.

Geometry Wars 2 Pascifism mode is perfect to me. Wouldn't change a thing.
Honestly, I can't say for sure considering that the idea of perfection is such a vague definition. Hell, isn't it better to say that we will never play the perfect game since we will always strive for perfection, and thus see improvements to bring us ever closer?
I would like to post the "Mayuri Speech on Perfection" here, but I feel that might be slightly off topic. Honestly though if I had to say what game does close to perfection, I do have to point at Breath of the Wild for what the game has done and went up and beyond to make this crazy game. Of course, is it perfect? Not by a long shot, but it is definitely worth the 10s that most reviewers have given it.

And yet many people picked oot and chronic cross
The closest games to perfect that I've ever played are Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and Metal Gear Solid 3. There are games that I think are better than some of those on a personal level, but I can't think of a single complaint against any of the 4. My favorite games of all time(FF6 and OoT) had some jank and uneven performance.

Perfect doesn't exist BUT
Persona 4 Golden is s close as it's gotten for me.

Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast.
It is the perfect combination of ease of use and skill. The gameplay was perfect and had just enough single player content to engage you when no friends were over to play.

I'm going to go with you on metroid prime as well. At the time this game was mind blowingly perfect.

Have I ever played a PERFECT game?
Of course I have. I've played the most perfect piece of media ever made by human hands.
Hoshigami Blue Earth.
One of the greatest epics ever told. An experience transcending life and death, time and space, earth/wind/fire.

there's no such thing as a perfect game...my top 3 favourite games of all time all had some apparent flaws....still love them to death though..
1) Castlevania Symphony of the night - Questionable items placement, unbalanced OP main protagonist
2) Bloodborne - Chalice dungeons structure needs a revamp (get rid of materials), online summoning needs a revamp (bells doesn't work well compared to DS's soapstone signs)
3) Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence - Rubbish controls
that being said, i do feel that certain games were flawless in its execution for what it is..
for example, Journey, i think is a flawless product. I am not saying it is a perfect game, no it isn't. But the idea and concept of journey is flawlessly executed, from the length to the controls to the visuals...that i can find no fault in it.

The closest game to me that I would say it was perfect was the original Phantasy Star on the Sega Master system. It was such a fantastic game and at the time it came out was cutting edge in presentation, story telling and visuals. Fond memories of making maps using graph paper and the only game I played for a straight 24 hours (outside of bathroom/food breaks and to run to the store for graph paper).

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and Tetris for Gameboy remain the only perfect games I have ever played.

NiGHTS Into Dreams. Perfect time/score game to binge. An arcade experience at home. Accompanied by a gorgeous art style and the greatest gaming soundtrack of all time.
good choice, i also go with soul calibur for dc. closest to perfect, still love to play it today. wheres the remastered online edition namco?
and i add resident evil remake.
The first KH? Nope. Very difficult to play after playing any of the sequels.
This thread is the explanation of all the problems of the industry.
People overhype and over rate games saying they are perfect. So they are ready to accept the most anti consumer and senseless features from devs/publishers and don t understand why their favorite game isnt a 10/10.
People saying SotC are the best example. We re talking about a game originally running at 15-20fps...

I don't think I did but there are a lot of games i never played. For example fighting games or racing simulations can be perfect I bet.
But I'm more of a man liking games for their qualities AND flaws. Some of the most memorable games I played were full of glitches or crappy gameplay, like Alpha Protocol or Pursuit Force Extreme Justice.
The two games that come in mind would be Half Life or Inside, but even those have low points.
