Since the launch of the origin PlayStation, Sony built up quite a catalog of game series based on original IP, with many revered as some of the best titles on their respective consoles. For example, if you’re going to recommend PlayStation 2 games to someone, the first-party game Shadow of the Colossus is going to come up. So today we’re celebrating everything Sony directly had a hand in, and hope everyone will also suggest other games they loved too.
It’s going back a bit, but I loved the Jak and Daxter series as a kid. The jump from kid-friendly platformer to gun-toting, Sci-fantasy, GTA-clone is a hilariously edgy move by today’s standards, but when i was 8 years old or so it was the coolest thing in the world. I don’t know if i necessarily want to see a reboot or anything, but I do plan to revist the series at some point. -Elliot
No game series has done for me what the two Gravity Rush games did. For a hot minute there, I thought we would never see Gravity Rush 2, but when it came out it was everything I wanted it to be. Flying through the bizarre and enchanting environments accompanied by the amazing music of the series never gets old. Even if we never get another title in the series, I hope Sony can one day release both games on PC, as they have been doing with its recent catalogue. — Daniel.
When it comes to the best Sony PlayStation IP or game series, it is going to come down to either The Legend of Dragoonor the Dark Cloud games. Trust me on this. Dark Cloud, specifically Dark Cloud 2, is so revolutionary and feels so different that other action RPGs, due to the fact that you’re rebuilding as a result of your dungeon crawling. As for The Legend of Dragoon, it is not only one of the best JRPGs on the PlayStation, it is one of the best games in the genre to come out of the 1990s. — Jenni
