What videogame could be really be defined as a masterpiece? Not what americans decreeted to be a masterpiece with their farse awards, but games that are universally liked by their overall quality

>decreeted

I would define a masterpiece as something that was fully realized. There was clear artistic vision and the game managed (or very nearly managed) to manifest that vision through the limitations of what is possible in a video game.

Some games that I would consider 'masterpieces':
The World Ends With You
L.A Noire
Elden Ring
Killer Frequency
Return of the Obra Dinn
Monkey Island 2 (remake included)
Monkey Island 3
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir
Pokemon Gold/Silver

Xcom: Ufo Defense?

Metacritic is trash

user score doesn't count to real score.
only score that matters is metascore by metacritic.
sony themselves have said they use metacritic for all playstation decisions

Gothic 1 & 2

Alundra is the best 2d zelda that exists and is by definition a masterpiece.

I can't stand retards that cant actually back up why they like something and just latch onto some vague subjective aesthetic

>Return of the Obra Dinn
Unfathomably based, Obra Dinn objectively a masterpiece in every aspect

And that is why all their recent games are faggot movies with no gameplay. Bravo.

Pathologic 2 does a great job of most/all the elements (music/art/gameplay/etc) coming together for a brilliantly realized vision and it's the perfect candidate to argue that games can be art. Unfortunately for the average pleb, the artistic message is about suffering and sacrifice so it's a slog to play at times but that's the point. Those that don't get filtered fucking love it.

The only reason Studio Japan isn't dissolved is because Astro Boy scored well.

Absolutely impeccable taste

I'd argue Tetris is a masterpiece but I'm too lazy to do that

>>723010345
Well, The Last of Us being labeled as one of the best games ever made it's just a fabricated burger invention

>games older than 5 years can't be masterpieces
