Nowadays, the amount of artistry and minimalism injected into video games is at an all-time high. If we were to look back to two short decades ago, we would notice that the peak of video games’ artistic creativity lay with the smiley faces plastered on every cloud in the Super Mario Bros. franchise. Luckily, since then we’ve played games like Journey and Limbo. With their lack of dialogue, simple control schemes, and emphasis on atmosphere, they are the Lex Luthor to Call of Duty’s Superman. Or vice-versa; whatever floats your boat.
Those games, however, were not the first to put more effort on mood than gameplay. Team Ico was known for that very thing, years earlier. First with Ico in 2001 and then Shadow of the Colossus four years later, they proved that less can indeed be much more. Their subtle yet highly emotional take on storytelling truly laid the groundwork for gaming as we know it today – or at the very least, indie gaming as we know it.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
The PS2 is one of the most celebrated consoles of all time, and what makes it better is that a lot of its games have managed to age better than most.
As PlayStation celebrates its 30th anniversary, let's explore the best PlayStation games Sony has to offer.
There's too many games to choose from
No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?

No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head
PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.
30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.
Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.
I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!
EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!
Truly a masterpiece
ide rather play this on a wiiu gamepad from the comfort of my car, than on a cramp causing vita that dsnt even rumble from any where on the planet.
