Thanks, duly noted. Got any hidden gem recommendations btw? You seem like someone who knows their stuff in terms of lesser known games worth checking out. |
Depends on your tolerance of B games. 2 games I can say avoid are Ninja Blade & Onechanbara. Ninjablade is all QTE's pretty much with some boring basic combat. Might be the worst From Soft game I played. Onechanbara is just flat trash lol. That said.
El Shaddai is a pretty cool game.
WET is a fun TPS as is Stranglehold.
Binary Domain is great but best played on Series X with BC
Space Marine is an excellent game.
Killer is Dead is a Suda 51 action game I quite enjoy but not everyones favorite.
If curious about Armored Core then AC For Answer IMO is the best in the series.
Lost Planet is pretty fun tho maybe a little dated. Not 360 but the Japan only spin off is on PS3 super import friendly called EX Troopers
Conan is a rough but fun game.
Now if you can tolerate some performance issues, Splatterhouse is fun but again has some rough edges. Then again most B games do.
Some good Shmups on the system. Raiden IV. Espgaluda II Black Label. Mushihime-sama Futari. Akai Katana. Deathsmiles.
Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey are great RPGs from Mistwalker.
Knights Contract another rough around the edges but can be fun game.
Majin & The Forsaken Kingdom is just a flat out great game. It's an adventure/puzzle game where you use a giant monster to help you solve puzzles. Some combat.
I am not outright suggesting this one as I never got far myself but worth looking into. It's a game with a steep learning curve. Resonance of Fate. RPG.
Way of the Samurai 3 if you want a more in depth game about Samurai's.
Metal Gear Rising of course.
VanQuish I would suggest the modern ports over 7th gen versions. It is BC tho.
Anarchy Reigns. Not PGs best game but the closest we have to a God Hand successor.
Asura's Wrath which is also BC on X.
Eternal Sonata is a solid RPG. Really pretty game.
Not obscure but Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed which is also BC
Transformers Fall of Cybertron is the best of the two but War is pretty good as well.
I did nto suggest ZOE HD collection because it's rough. While it is the best way to play ZOE 1. ZOE 2 is best played on PC or PS4.
The Darkness 1-2. 1 is more Deus Ex and 2 is more straight action game with a cel shaded look. Solid FPS games but I like 1 the most.
I enjoyed Lords of Shadow 1 a lot. 2 has issues but not as bad as people say. I found it ok.
These are only avail on BC now but some good SEGA classics on there with Guardian Heroes. Hunstar Heroes. Fighting vipers. Daytona and more.
