Just because PS4′s here doesn’t mean it’s over for PlayStation 3 in 2014. In fact it might actually be a good thing as next-gen ideas and tech filter down on to Sony’s old faithful. With that in mind here’s Official PlayStation Magazine’s 10 best 2014 PS3 games.
As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.
Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.
And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.
I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.
Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.
Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.
You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.
The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.
Fanatical has launched its new Explosive bundle, and this one can help you save big on a collection of Steam Deck-compatible titles.

THE list:
Dark Souls 2
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2
Child Of Light
Destiny
The Evil Within
Middle-earth Shadow Of Mordor
Watch Dogs
Wolfenstein The New Order
Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes
Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2 is looking epic, can't wait to pick that up. LRFFXIII demo was surprisingly fun, but i can see it being a bargain bin game pretty quickly, so i'll wait on that.
Destiny looks amazing, but i can't see it running well on the old consoles without a significant downgrade, i rather wait until i buy a PS4 and experience the game at 100%.
Seeing this list makes me glad I went with Xbox. I'd say 2015 will bring some great ps4 and xclusives though
No persona 5?? Blasphemy!
I love my PS3.
