Love the PS2 and don’t know what to play? Check out these often forgotten and overlooked titles on Sony’s most successful console ever.
Indigo Prophecy: David Cage’s breakout title, it made many of the games he’s made after possible. To this day, it has amazing cinematography and a top-notch story.
The Mark of Kri: One of the PS2’s prettiest games and a heck of a ton of fun thanks to a great combat system.
Mister Mosquito: It’s weird, but you’ll love it.
The Thing: Talk about awesome survival horror games- this one deserves so much more love.
Dead to Rights: This one had it all- a fun noir story, satisfying shooting and an excellent cover system.
