My wife just surprised me with a new PSP battery after listening to me moan about not having one ever since reading PerfectDark's most recent PSP article. After messing around with broken USB cables and jumping through hoops to un-spoof my old prome-2 firmware version for too long last night, I finally got ARK4 running and had a blast playing Wipeout Pure.

My favourite PSP game back in the day was probably Monster Hunter Freedom Unite... so many late nights spent playing that with friends in my freezing flat. There was something special about LAN parties with handheld games. I remember putting serious hours into Peace Walker and Dissidia too.

Now I want some game recommendations... tell me which games you loved on the PSP! I might even have a look around for some UMDs!

There are plenty of good titles already mentioned here so I'll go with something less popular.

  • PangYa: Fantasy Golf - it's a golf game, as you can guess from the title. It has simple but really fun gameplay with customisable characters (outfits and equipment, the latter affects character stats). It also has a story mode to get you started.
  • Puzzle Quest - RPG with match 3 gameplay for combat. Really addictive in a "just one more quest" kind of way.
  • Ridge Racer 2 - it's Ridge Racer. Riiiiiidge Racer! Tons of content, bunch of modes, fun to control - it's great! Might be my favourite handheld racing game (and definitely one I spent the most time with). It's pretty much a celebration of the franchise until that point, especially the classic era.

Puzzle Quest! Man, I was way too addicted to that game!

It's so easy to just keep going. It's great!

+1 for Pangya!

What a fun and silly story this has! I have spent countless hours playing this! Overall my favorite game on the PSP.

Honestly the only real negative is the gotcha system for getting most of the accessories.

It's been so long since I played this game I genuinely forgot about the gacha store. Shows how much I interacted with it (maybe I was just lucky enough to get by with what I got). At least most other things can be bought normally.

Golf game with a story mode? That sounds interesting!

[–] Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's a silly and light hearted romp about a golf tournament, with a cast of weirdos as your rivals. It's pretty fun as long as you don't mind anime aesthetic and tropes (it's not egregious or anything, I just know some people are allergic to anything anime adjacent).
