          It actually is directly tied to the movies. The character who first gives Furiosa a chassis to build from isn't quite as hunchbacked as in the game but he is credited as "Chumbucket!"

                    For me it's Journey. That game gave me an emotional experience I've never had in any other.

                          Super Hexagon

                          It's about as simple as a 'modern' game can be (I read there was even a port of it to Commodore 64.) but it's a finely tuned machine. When you lose - and you will, a lot - it feels like mostly your own fault and not the game's.

                          The difficulty levels very accurately start at Hard for the easiest one. There are 6 total levels, the next 5 difficulties are Harder, Hardest, Hardester, Hardestest, and Hardestestest.

                          With much time and luck I can beat the first level (unlocking the 4th). On a lost save I had unlocked the 5th level by completing the 2nd, and have only ever seen the 6th in videos from other people. I would have to beat the 3rd to see it myself, and that's not happening.

                          The criteria to beat a level is "last for 60 seconds".

                            The Spyro the dragon trilogy for me is just an absolute masterpiece.

                            Final Fantasy VII, IX and X are three master pieces

                            Metroid prime and fusion

                            Fatal Frame trilogy on the PlayStation 2, Forbidden Siren, Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 2 are amongst the best of the best

                              In my opinion, Portal 2’s difficulty curve was off. It started in a good place and ended in a good place but was too easy for most of the game.

                              The two player section was fantastic though.

                                Super. Hexagon.

                                It's hard to explain the relief I felt upon beating the last level. I can fairly easily survive for 300s in the first one, but I've never gotten close to beating the last one again.

                                The most important tip I can give: if you have a 60Hz monitor, turn off VSync. Makes a huge difference.

                                There's also a "spiritual successor" called Open Hexagon that's extendable by the community if you want more, though I haven't played it myself.

                                  This game will forever live in my heart as an absolute masterpiece. I cry every time I play it because something about it just completely sucks me in.

                                    Zelda Breath of the wild for me. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Tears of the Kingdom but breath of the wild scratched a perfect itch for me. Especially master mode. Well over 1000 hours played.

                                      Sid Meier's Pirates.

                                      Either version.

                                        None. There's no such thing as an objective master piece. Games are art which is, by definition, subjective.

                                        Edited to add, well this was way more controversial than I thought it would be.

                                        Games are not Art, they are Games.

                                        Videogames can also be art, but they are also games and 'games' (note: not 'videogames') are not art.

                                          I was going to say Sid Meier's Civilization, but both of them qualifies really.
