Best Games for Each PlayStation Generation
We all have our own opinions on the best games for each PlayStation console, whether it's classics like Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty or recent hits like Marvel's Spider-Man. While this question can be subjective, there are undoubtedly some titles that are regarded as genre-defining and revolutionary. Let's explore the best PlayStation games for each PlayStation console.
PlayStation 1
Silent Hill
Released in 1999, Silent Hill was a leap forward for survival horror games. It introduced the series' now-iconic protagonist, Harry Mason, and his daughter, Cheryl. The story focused on Harry's search for Cheryl as he encountered a series of nightmarish creatures and environments.
God Hand
Released just one year after the PlayStation 2 landed in Japan, God Hand was a unique beat 'em up game that required you to manage your health and battle the environment as well as your enemies. God Hand is often referred to as one of the best PS2 games, but this could be due to the fact that it was never released outside of Japan.
PlayStation 2
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is not just one of the best PS2 games, it is also one of the best action-adventure games of all time. The story follows Nathan Drake as he attempts to find a lost Ottoman treasure, while also being pursued by a secret organization. Uncharted 2 is undeniably one of the greatest games of the PS2 generation and one of the best PS4 games.
God of War
God of War is yet another PS2 exclusive game that is often regarded as one of the best PS2 games, even though it was released after the PlayStation 3. The story of Kratos's quest for revenge against the Gods of Olympus is one of the most iconic in gaming, and God of War's gameplay is still as satisfying as ever.
PlayStation 3
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is the third entry in Naughty Dog's Uncharted series. As usual, the game centers on Nathan Drake as he embarks on one more treasure hunt, this time for the lost fleet of Marco Polo. Drake's Deception is an improvement on its predecessor, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, with better gameplay, a longer story, and an unforgettable ending.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the conclusion to the Uncharted series, with the story ending on a bittersweet note. While it is not as polished as Drake's Deception, A Thief's End is still a great game that is often mentioned alongside other PS4 exclusives like Spider-Man and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Persona 5
Persona 5 is the fifth main installment in the Persona series and the first to appear on the PlayStation. The gameplay is similar to previous entries in the series, but it introduces a new theme: being a runaway criminal.
