A Collider listicle by Diego Pineda Pacheco, published on 8 July 2026, sets out ten video games the author considers "pretty much perfect" — titles so accomplished that they come close to being free of flaws. The piece matters chiefly as an opinion-led celebration of gaming's most acclaimed works, acknowledging throughout that perfection in games is a highly subjective judgement.

The article stresses that producing a genuinely flawless game is rare, and highlights entries spanning several decades and genres. Among those detailed are Tetris (1984), praised for its addictive simplicity and "mathematical perfection"; Super Metroid (1994), credited with properly establishing the Metroidvania formula; Disco Elysium (2019), lauded as a narrative-driven artistic high point; and Super Mario Galaxy (2007), commended for its gravity mechanics, visuals and score. Other titles such as Elden Ring are also referenced as approaching genuine perfection.
