To me it boils down to if the game was fun and kept me coming back for more. Some of my favorite games this generation are Earth Defense Force 2017, Nier, Super Meat Boy, Resistance series, the Halo's, Ratchet and Clank, Ninja Blade, Alan Wake, Bayonetta and Vanquish. All these games have different qualities and there is no set thing that makes me love a game. Gameplay is first and foremost the most important aspect of all the games listed so gameplay is important to me.

Now Graphics, Story, Music don't impact me too much. I like the Uncharted games but only for the stories and they don't suck me in very much. I thought the gameplay was meh. I liked them just didn't love them. Then you have a game like God of War series which I love but I didn't have that feeling inside that makes me want to go back to the game when I quit playing simply because I don't like Kratos as a character but everything else is great.

I guess what I'm getting at is that for me there is no set definition of perfection because the games I like have differing qualities and can't simply be summed up into categories. I fell in love with the stories in Nier and Alan Wake and that was the reason I loved them but games like Vanquish had a crappy story but I loved them just the same. It boils down to does the game suck me in.
