Games with no bad parts
- Thread starter what am i even looking at
- Start date
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec and Gran Turismo 4. There are very few negatives to what the games were trying to do, and they were so far ahead of other racing games in a lot of aspects. Some might argue a few of the missions in GT4(Mission 34 on the 'Ring comes to mind), but I think they were finely tuned, and had the requisite difficulty. The only other thing i think anyone could consider bad, is the no crashing/wrecking, but I don't feel it detracted from the games in any meaningful way.
Transistor. Beautifully paced, with the difficulty and your ability constantly ramping up, and exposition (what little there is) never overstays its welcome. Bastion is also good at this, but the game dragged a bit at points.
Edit: Journey is also a good pick.

Quite a few for me:
What Remains Of Edith Finch.
Ori and the Will of the wisps.
Inside
God of War (2018)
My favourite game of last gen witcher 3 still has a few parts that dragged for me.

I know it's been said already, but Super Metroid. None of that game is boring or needlessly frustrating. It's just...perfect.
This is a really good pick! There is not a single dull moment in the game
Super Metroid is definitely one of those as well, considering I played it for the first time when Dread got announced and I'm now on my third playthrough.
I'm tempted to include Zero Mission too, but as someone who just finished it for the first time I still don't know how I feel about the stealth section near the end. It's really cool conceptually and worth it for the pay off but playing through it got pretty frustrating in spots.
I love Sin and Punishment 2, but that last fight was not fun or clever at all. It looked pretty, and that's all it had going for it. I spent two hours at it just to say I beat the game, and never booted up Kachi's path. Love that game though, so much. And the first game.
Kirby's Dreamland is a pretty perfect game. Not as good as what followed it, but very close to the definition of perfect. Length is just right, and no part of it is boring, really.

I can't think of a single game where I didn't wish an element would have been reworked. Even the supposedly tight games fall under this. Portal 2's humor became grating, Inside had pacing issues, Edith Finch has a lackluster ending, and so on. When you combine so elements like narrative, mechanics, scaling, feel, and interaction, then obviously something will come up short. In that light, I suggest that the games where several elements are focused upon and honed to absolute precision best fit the question.
- Baba Is You
- Gorogoa
- Tetris
- Doom
I haven't played the second game in decades, what was the racist easter egg?
Probably honestly my answer too. Enjoyable game from top to bottom. Might not have reinvented the wheel but it was an incredibly solid experience top to bottom.
Paying money to the priest makes Megaman brighter, reducing shop costs (and I think shopkeepers say nice comments). Kicking a pig in a certain continent over and over will make Megaman darker in color which increases shop costs, makes shopkeepers say rude comments, and a weapon part dealer (that emphasizes on shady) sells a certain weapon part to you if you're dark colored.
i love halo 3, but it's the last thing i'd think of for this thread because the whole cortana level very conspicuously sucks
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition was a gift that kept on giving, even after completion. My favorite Dragon Quest entry yet.
Halo 3 campaign? Even the Flood are fun to fight in this one, being weaker to melee and easier to take down with precision shots, they stop being zombie bullet sponges.
Plus every other mission fighting covenant is unreal, by Halo standards. I feel it's a shorter campaign than 2, but every bit of it is gold.

Maybe the only level that is not that good but still makes up for it with a great story moment, art and just more enjoyable to fight flood
Every time your movement slows down so Cortana/Gravemind can talk at you is a bad part.
That was an excellent first post. Portal 2 is basically the perfect video game.
Dark Souls is one of my favourite video games of all time but the first half of the game is a lot better than the second.
The sex minigames and the one lady getting crushed by that chain would qualify as pretty bad parts to me.
Nope. And in some of those games, 5h are between 50-80% of the total length.
Era, the usual hyperbole.
Trolling right? Even most people who love the game will admit that Chapter 3 is a mess.
Inside.
Was gonna say Bloodborne but is the unseen village bad? 🤔 the atmosphere there is a high point both if you get taken and after beating Rom. I used to dislike it but recently played through again and didn't feel that way.
Others off my head: Journey, Tlou2, Sekiro, Returnal, Half Life 2.

I don't mean to sound insulting, but there isn't a single second of Halo 3 that I remember.
Personally I think the series that has the most consistently good gameplay, or parts, for me is the Super Mario platformer series. That certainly doesn't apply to all games, but I find a significant number of them enjoyable from start to finish with very few, if any, bad parts.
Muramasa the Demon Blade is what I'd consider a pretty great game with no bad parts as well. From start to finish it was simply a very enjoyable visual spectacle.
