What games are just objective masterpieces?

Braid
Cave story -
Wizards got all up in Commander and killed my interest in it.
UB are getting all up in my standard and pioneer formats and killing my interest for them/Magic as a whole outside of "limited" precons.

Not a sequel. Just because it's not Portal 1. The fact that it's second is not the problem. The problem is that the first one was flawless.
Too few promises of cake

There hasnt been yet a game that could replicate the experience I ld had when I played Planescape: Torment
-
Witcher 3 for me.
I had to scroll so far to find anyone mentioning W3... Absolutely insane to me that this isn't much higher and more mentioned.
-
Has seriously no one mentioned The Last of Us? That’s crazy.
I think the second should be included.
As well as red dead redemption 2.
The storytelling is just top tier. Better than literally almost all media made today.
Rdr2 was the only game that I was actually emotionally tied to the characters. It was truly a masterpiece.

We'll see how much is recency bias and how well it will stand the test of time, but I really think Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be on this list going forward. It's definitely one of the best games I've ever played, and I've played a lot of games. It's not perfect, but it's close enough in all the parts that actually matter.
Otherwise there's your usual suspects:
- Disco Elysium
- Portal
- Half-Life 2
- Bioshock 1
- Final Fantasy VI
- Chrono Trigger
- Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- The Last of Us
- Baldur's Gate 2
I still have to play it, but Clair Obscus seems like this year Baldur’s Gate 3, which is rare. A game that came out of no where and is ready to win goty

:::+1 for Beyond Good & Evil.
For those unfamiliar with this game, this was early 2000s Ubisoft when they used to be creative, celebrated, and original.

I know this is a hot take, but: BG3 is a good game. Clair Obscur is a work of art.

Going to have to disagree, especially when it comes to storytelling
I disagree with you. The story is amazingly written.
Dialogue, character motivations, their fuck ups, everything is fantastic. -
Katamari Damacy. It has a reputation for being silly Japanese nonsense, but the gameplay is brilliant, the graphics are timeless, the soundtrack is incredible, and it has some surprising thematic depth.
Na naaaaa na na na na na, na na, na naaaa Katamari Damacyyyyyyy

"Abzû". That's a hill I'm willing to die on. Got to me even more than Journey or Jusant.
Also, thought very differently, "Senua Hellblade" because it perfectly displayed a condition that I could never fit into words.

• Sonic the Hedgehog ( Genesis/Mega Drive )
• Chuzzle Deluxe
• Borderlands
• Baba Is You
Those would be some picks I would say are objective masterpieces, but that's subjective, I guess.

Curious to hear what the criteria for "masterpiece" is, otherwise I think it is just peoples' subjective opinion of what makes a great game that they also think others might agree about being a great game. Genuinely curious, interested in discussion, not saying this to shut down any of the answers here.

I must say you are really getting me hyped to play this game. Bgs3 was a masterpiece, and i also love games like Persona so i am really excited to try a French jrpg like Clair Obscur
