These are some of the best PlayStation 2 games available now.
Dark Cloud 2
Second, the game features a new story mode that is set in a world where the sky is falling and the world’s governments are collapsing. In this mode, you play as one of several characters who try to save the world from an impending doom. Lastly, Dark Cloud 2 introduces a new combat system that is more action-packed and strategic than ever before. You can now use your environment to your advantage, by using ramps, bridges, and other obstacles to your advantage.
The Dark Cloud 2 trophy system offers players more than 100 hours of gameplay, and now it also includes uprendering to make it look just as great now as it did when it was first released years ago. It is included with the PS Plus Premium subscription, but you can also pick it up for just $14.99 if you don’t want to pay for a subscription service. ..
Shadow of the Colossus
The game is incredibly punishing, with enemies that can kill you in a single hit. It’s also one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have in a video game. The puzzles are clever and challenging, and the environment is constantly changing to keep you on your toes. Shadow of the Colossus is an amazing game that should be on everyone’s radar.
Shadow of the Colossus is a game that is unlike anything else made before it was first released. It’s worth a revisit now, especially if you consider video games to be art pieces in and of themselves. If you played The Last Guardian, it owes much of what it is to Shadow of the Colossus.
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy X and its spin-off/sequel Final Fantasy X-2 are available as part of the PlayStation Plus Extra tier. This is the upgraded PS4 version of the game, which maintains the original spirit of the PS2 version – it just looks better.
In this final installment of the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy series, explore the world as Tidus and experience the glory of the Sphere Grid as you fight to defeat Sin. It’s a touching story with genuinely excellent music. If FFX isn’t your favorite, you can also play the original Final Fantasy VII as part of the PS Plus Extra tier.
Rogue Galaxy
Rogue Galaxy is a space pirate game set in an open world environment. You play as a character who must travel through the galaxy in order to find treasure and defeat space pirates. The graphics are anime-style, and the gameplay is very similar to Treasure Planet: the Game. This game is definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for an exciting space pirate adventure.
If you’re a fan of JRPGs, Rogue Galaxy is a must-play title. Combat is real-time, and there’s no loading time between exploration and combat. Everything flows seamlessly from one to another, and the Revelation Flow system is reminiscent of the Sphere Grid in many ways. Oh, and the cartoon visuals make it a unique experience that ages better than more polygonal titles. ..
This one is a cheat, but it’s worth it for the Jak and Daxter games. They’re from the era of mascot platformers that dominated the early 2000s, but they’re also some of the best Sony-exclusive titles. This isn’t a game you’ll not find on Xbox Game Pass.
The Jak Trilogy is a mix of puzzle solving and sci-fi action games that are well worth spending a weekend playing. The games are well written and have an interesting story line.
Devil May Cry
Dante’s journey began with the classic action game, Devil May Cry. This game paved the way for modern action games that are unlike anything before them. It was this game that introduced the player to fast-paced gunslinging and exploration. The other games in the Devil May Cry series followed suit and gave players a lot of what they loved in an action game: a strong protagonist, a well-done story, and some great gameplay mechanics.
The first three games in the Devil May Cry collection are great games that you should definitely play if you haven’t played them before. They’re about seven hours long, but they’re really fun and will leave you feeling satisfied. If you’ve never played Devil May Cry before, then give it a try and see how you like it. The next two entries in the series are also great games, so don’t hesitate to check them out!
Wild Arms 3
The game has been around for over 20 years, and it’s still one of the most popular on the market. It’s set in a desert planet with western motifs, so if you’re looking for a break from the usual fantasy, this is one you don’t want to miss. One of the unique elements is the map. Rather than opening up as you find new locations, you have to ask and search using a built-in GPS.
There’s a lot of content to the game, with a 30.5-hour main story and plenty of side content to explore. If you’re a fan of RPGs, you’ll love this one. ..
The PlayStation 2 was home to a lot of indie games, but modern gaming lacks the big name titles that it once had. The good news is that you can play them all on your PlayStation 5 through the new PS Plus tiers. Make sure to take advantage of this opportunity!
