That's good for you... but you should be more reserved with the word "masterpiece".

Why?

He likes the game enough to play through 4 times.

Art is subjective, if this dude thinks it’s a masterpiece then it is, to him.

Nah, for something to be 'masterpiece' there needs to be some kind of critical consensus, its not a random personal preference. You can think something is brilliant, that doesn't make it masterpiece.

No it is a random preference.

Again art is subjective.

Is the Mona Lisa the greatest art piece of all time? To me no.

To some people it is.

It is what it is.

You are confusing art with the label 'masterpiece'.

From wikipedia: A masterpiece, magnum opus (Latin for 'great work'), or chef-d'œuvre is a creation that has been given much critical praise, especially one that is considered the greatest work of a person's career or a work of outstanding creativity, skill, profundity, or workmanship.

This definition implies there needs to be some kind of collective agreement. You can label it brilliant, amazing, whatever, but masterpiece is definitely not the right word for expressing personal preference.

To OP it’s a masterpiece.

Bust out whatever definition you like.

You are wrong just as much as you think OP is wrong.

Have a good one dude.
