This concludes my retro game eShop series, as suitable console selections dwindle. Saving the best for last: the PlayStation. Sony's debut console exceeded expectations, boasting a legendary game library, with titles still re-released today. Here are ten personal favorites (in no particular order):
Klonoa, a standout 2.5D platformer, follows a charming, floppy-eared creature through a dream world to thwart a looming threat. It features vibrant visuals, tight gameplay, memorable bosses, and a surprisingly impactful narrative. While the PlayStation 2 sequel is slightly weaker, the collection is a must-have.
A landmark JRPG, Final Fantasy VII captivated the Western audience, propelling Square Enix and the PlayStation to new heights. While the remake exists, the original remains a classic, showcasing its impact despite its dated polygon graphics.
Metal Gear Solid revitalized a dormant franchise. Though later entries became more eccentric, the original stands as a thrilling, action-packed adventure, less philosophical and more reminiscent of a G.I. Joe episode. The PlayStation 2 sequels are also available on Switch.
G-Darius successfully transitioned Taito's classic shooter into 3D. Its charming, chunky polygons, vibrant colors, unique enemy capture mechanic, and inventive bosses make for a compelling experience.
While overshadowed by Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross is a visually stunning RPG with a large, albeit unevenly developed, cast of characters and one of the best video game soundtracks ever created.
Among the Mega Man X series, X4 stands out for its polished design and balanced gameplay. The Legacy Collection offers a chance to experience this and other titles in the series.
A unique platformer with adventure game elements, Tomba! from the creator of Ghosts ‘n Goblins, offers a deceptively challenging experience.
Though originally a SEGA Saturn title, the PlayStation port forms the basis of this HD release. Grandia, spiritually akin to Lunar, offers a bright, cheerful adventure with a satisfying combat system.
This collection includes the first three Tomb Raider games, showcasing Lara Croft's early adventures. The original game is arguably the strongest, focusing more on tomb raiding than action.
A unique, deconstructed RPG, moon offers an unconventional, sometimes challenging, adventure with a thought-provoking message.
