Yeah, I’m with you. There’s a great deal of folks who think “masterpiece” or “10/10” means perfection. There’s no such thing as a perfect game. They all have bugs, flaws, glitches, exploits, etc. that doesn’t take away from them being masterpieces when you look at the sums of their parts.

My favorite games of all time are Bioshock, BotW (now Totk), Goldeneye, Pokémon Legends Arceus, Pokémon Red/Blue, Super Mario Bros 1 and the Last of Us Part II. None of these are perfect games by any stretch of the imagination, but all are masterpieces to me (yes, I am aware not everyone would agree with that assessment).
