The PS3’s best games according to Reddit

What are the best PS3 games?

We all have our favourites, whether it’s Killzone, Uncharted, or Resistance, and we’re sure that many of you are still clinging onto your PlayStation 3s, despite all the talk about the PS4 and next gen.

Well, it’s been 13 years since the PlayStation 3 launched, and we thought it’d be a good time to take a look at what users on Reddit think are the greatest games that you can still play on Sony’s last and most successful console. We’ve also included some other suggestions, including some of the best PS2 games, as some users mentioned that they’re picking up a PS2 to play alongside the PlayStation 3 to get the best of both worlds (backwards compatibility and a cheaper price).

Here are the best PS3 games according to the comment section on r/PlayStation:

Resistance

The first game that most people mention is Resistance and, of course, the first one is the best one. Many also recommend getting a cheaper/newer PS3 and a PS2 instead of a backwards compatible PS3, as there are some potential issues that you should be aware of.

The PSN store still works, but it’s expected to shut down soon, but you can still run almost all PS1 games. Others are considering getting a PS Vita, but are unsure about the lifespan of the servers.

Here are some other great games that were mentioned:

• Killzone
• Uncharted
• Resistance trilogy
• Motorstorm

The age of the PlayStation 3 is acknowledged, but it’s clear that nostalgia keeps you all holding on. Metal Gear Solid 4 is also praised, with many talking about the emotional story.

Some of you also mention the PS2, with SSX Tricky being a fun game to play, but it’s worth noting that the controllers aren’t compatible.

Here’s the full list of games mentioned in the comments:
