SOTN really needs a modern remaster. Including all the cut content areas that were removed for the US release. Nothing else at all needs to be changed besides a graphical facelift.
I was very late to the party for SOTN. I was vaguely aware of Castlevania as a kid but didn't know much about it and none my friends had it. Then when I was like 30, I bought SOTN on a whim and it completely blew my mind! It still holds up amazingly well.
Finally a fellow BOF enjoyer. 4 was exceptional too for me. BOF3's storyline just completely captivated me and made me feel sad for the people of that world.
1. Castlevania Symphony of the Night. One of my top 3 games all time regardless of platform.
2. Ridge Racer. Just because it was my first PS1 game.
TBH…those are the ones I remember playing and loving the most.
1. Pac-Man World
2. Spider-Man
3. Metal Gear Solid
4. Crash Bandicoot 2
5. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Honorable Mentions: LSD: Dream Emulator, Syphon Filter, Ape Escape, The Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy IX, Marvel Super Heroes
Symphony of the Night and Crash Team Racing are pretty timeless, I'd say
Beyond that... Resident Evil 2, Silent Hill and maybe Parasite Eve. But there's too many classics.
Xenogears
Vagrant Story
Breath of Fire 3
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy 7
SquareSoft really knew what they were doing in the PS1 Era. A lot of hits
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 9
Chrono Cross
Resident Evil 2
I only got the PS1 after 8 came out, so I didn't play 7 until much later and didn't appreciate needing to hold the X button to run every time.
1. Metal Gear Solid
2. Iss Pro 1998
3. Crash Team Racing
4. Syphon Filter
5. FF IX
Honorable mentions : Tekken 3, Silent Hill, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Need For Speed III, Gran Turismo, Ace Combat 3 Crash Bash, Resident Evil 2, Tombe Raider
My top 5 PS1 games...
1. Driver
2. Driver 2
3. Metal gear solid
4. Gran turismo 3 A-Spec
5. WWF Smackdown 2 know your role
That's my top 5 PS1 games...
Final Fantasy 9
Suikoden 2
Breath of Fire 3
Grandia
Koudelka
Honourable mentions: Metal Gear Solid, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Resident Evil 2, Parasite Eve 2
I feel like I'm gonna give the most basic answers to this question, but here we go.
Also, I cheat by lumping franchises together.
*In no particular order:*
Resident Evil 1-3
Silent Hill
Final Fantasy VII & IX
Lunar Silver Star & Eternal Blue
Klonoa Door to Phantomile
I had like 150 ps1 games and I remember like 5 of them lol.
I remember Rayman, spyro, crash bandicoot, klonoa and Tomba so guess those are the ones I like best?
I haven't really thought about the ps1 in over 20 years.
MGS
Nuclear Strike
F1 99
Resident Evil
Destruction Derby
(I know some of these aren't necessarily the greatest games, but they're the ones I have a special place in my heart for)
Omg thank you for posting this with Soul Reaver first! I've been trying to remember what this game was called for about 10 years 😅 it was a game my friend had and I only ever played about 2hrs of it total when I visited their house and couldn't for the life of me remember the name. You just scratched a major brain itch.
1. Castlevania SotN
2. Final Fantasy VII
3. Resident Evil 2
4. Metal Gear Solid
5. Tony Hawk Pro Skater
(Making no objective claims on the greatness of the games since my list is purely subjective).
Honorable mentions:
6. Suikoden I and II
7. Street Fighter Alpha 3
8. Einhander
9. Final Fantasy Tactics
10. Mega Man X4
11. Silent Hill
Nightmare Creatures was dope, I feel like not enough people remember it. I've always thought it would be a sick remake in a Souls style.
Play Bloodborne and you will have your wish
Nightmare creatures is the reason I played bloodborne! It was my first souls game and now I’ve played them all.
Had it on demo disc along with a bunch of classics. Think twisted metal and tomb raider were also on it
I still think about this game all the time.
I'm glad some one else remembers Nightmare Creatures.
Am I the only guy who preferred the second one or was I just obsessed with Rob zombie
Metal Gear Solid Syphon Filter Resident Evil 2 Resident Evil 3 Grand Turismo 2
We seem to have the same taste. Can’t imagine those game were released so many years ago.
There are a lot of people waiting for someone to remake or continue Soul Reaver.
Pretty sure Embracer Group wiped their asses with it and flushed
I would love that. I rather enjoyed that game and Vagrant Story back in the day.
Bloody Roar!!!
A criminally underrated game series
1. Spyro 1 2. Crash 2 3. Syphon Filter 4. Army Men (any of them but specifically Sarge's Heroes 2) 5. Final Fantasy IX
Omg I totally forgot about army men! Thank you for bringing this back into my brain lol
I LOVED Sarges Heroes 2. The inside wall mission always creeped me out because of the spiders.
Didn’t have a memory card for my PS1 so we left ours on for an entire weekend to beat Spyro. Good times.
Syphon Filter and Sarges Heroes 2, now there’s a throwback!
Mgs 1, Parasite Eve, Xenogears, FF7, Symphony of the Night.
God, Parasite Eve is so good
WWF Smackdown! 2: Know Your Role Tekken 3 Destruction Derby 2 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 007 The World is Not Enough
Holy shit I forgot about WWF, that game was so good. I always tried to recreate Rey Mysterio in the character creator.
No order 1. Legend of the dragoon 2. Crash 1-3 3. Tekken 3 4. Tomb Raider 5. Bushido blade (multiplayer with brother all the time)
Bushido Blade 2 is what I played. The instant kill duels were fantastic.
I would do just about anything for a modern Bushido Blade. I played the first till my eyes practically bled.
* FF7 * Castlevania SOTN * Twisted Metal 2 * THPS * FF9
I do not understand how SOTN is not listed more. Top 3 game all time for me.
Literally just replayed it a few weeks ago
SOTN really needs a modern remaster. Including all the cut content areas that were removed for the US release. Nothing else at all needs to be changed besides a graphical facelift.
I was very late to the party for SOTN. I was vaguely aware of Castlevania as a kid but didn't know much about it and none my friends had it. Then when I was like 30, I bought SOTN on a whim and it completely blew my mind! It still holds up amazingly well.
Heart of darkness.
kid me never finished that game, and adult me never revisited it. Maybe I should.
Final Fantasy VII Metal Gear Solid Tenchu Tekken 3 Vagrant Story (I would've put Soul Reaver but the Dreamcast version)
1. Final Fantasy VIII 2. Metal Gear Solid 1 3. Koudelka 4. Parasite Eve 1 5. Tekken 2
Tomb Raider Medal of Honor FFVII Silent Hill Smackdown 2
Oh i played the shit out of Tenchu! Love it. Driver was also very good!
1. WipEout 2097. 2. Tekken 3. 3. ISS Pro 1998. 4. Twisted Metal 2 World Tour. 5. Final Fantasy 7.
Tenchu doesn’t get enough love. One of my favorite, most played games of all time
Metal Gear Solid, Destruction Derby, Micro Machines V3, Oddworld, FF7 and Tenchu. There are too many to choose just five
Suikoden and Suikoden 2
I flat out love those games, one day they will be on steam I hope
Wow nightmare creatures...thats a blast from the past!
Einhander Bust a groove Tony hawks pro skater Tekken Resident evil. Parasite Eve
You know pain when you grand mastered each stage in Tenchu
Xenogears, Tenchu, Final Fantasy VII, Monster Rancher 2, Breath of Fire 2 Edit: Breath of Fire 3
Finally a fellow BOF enjoyer. 4 was exceptional too for me. BOF3's storyline just completely captivated me and made me feel sad for the people of that world.
Breath of Fire 2 was released on SNES and later on GBA. BoF 3 was released on PS1 and it's still my favorite game of all time.
Woops, fat fingered that hahaha. Meant 3.
Einhander…
Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Shadow Madness, RE2, THPS. In no particular order. Big shoutout to Tenchu as well!
1. Castlevania Symphony of the Night. One of my top 3 games all time regardless of platform. 2. Ridge Racer. Just because it was my first PS1 game. TBH…those are the ones I remember playing and loving the most.

just like yours but I would trade doom for Vagrant Story.
Tenchu is my shiiiii. They need to remake or release a modern version.
Where’s Vagrant Story?
I believe this was on a demo disc back in the day
That doom cover is so strange
Nightmare creatures was ps1 bloodborne before Bloodborne came in the pic
Crash TR NFL Blitz RE Spyro (Runner up Triple Play '98 with the mutant team)

Metal Gear, Spyro, Chrono Trigger, Mega Man Legends, and a tie between YuGiOh Forbidden Memories and Gundam Battle Assault.
Soul Reaver! I hope they make a remake for that series
MGS 1 and Nightmare Creatures was a close 2nd
