Would love to own a real PSP, always adored 2000s Sony hardware. But I often emulate Ridge Racer and SSX on Tour!

Try Crimson Gem Saga if you are into JRPGs.

Pretty obvious, but FF Tactics for sure, even though I'm not a fan of the War of the Lions translation. Unless you can emulate it, then play the PSX version with The Lion War mod. It has all the PSP changes but doesn't use the new script.

Work Time Fun.

I would just play 5 Finger Filet most of the time 🤣

If you like music games, those DJ Max titles are awesome. And the PSP version of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is one of the best puzzle games ever made

• Obscure The Aftermath
• Test Drive Unlimited
• Silent Hill Origins
• Brandish The Dark Revenant
• Coded Arms
• Fate Extra
• Jeanne D Arc
• Metal Gear Acid/Peace Walker/Portable Ops
• Rengoku
• Dantes Inferno
• Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
• Warriors of the Lost Empire
• Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
• Gods Eater Burst

I like Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. It's a turn-based RPG with a fighting game combat system. I enjoyed playing through the multiple paths of the narrative.

Not sure why everyone skips a generation back to the PSP when the Vita was backwards compatible.

Uncharted Golden Abyss was a pretty decent Uncharted game, and even offered motion controls in some useful ways.

I’ll probably get some hate from the pure JRPG community for this comment (and I don’t disagree either)…

I loved Lunar: Silver Star Harmony when it came out. I didn’t play the originals, I’d just moved to the states and was living on a couch at my mom’s place and honestly things weren’t great for me… but I did bring my PSP with me and picked up Lunar.

I fell in love with that game, the music, anime cutscenes and I also really liked the art style (the comment that will piss off a lot of ppl) because I didn’t have the nostalgia. I was able to put my headphones on and escape for a bit!

I recently got the Lunar Remastered Collection on Steam and it didn’t hit the same way as it did on the PSP. That game got me through some tough times!

Oh and GTA: Chinatown Wars is phenomenal!

All the usual suspects are already mentioned, but I have to shout out one of the most unique and addictive strategy games I have ever played, What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord?

Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilmaniis a really good rogue like, that actually plays like rouge (the original game), but has a lot of nice gameplay additions, a crazy anime story, permanent upgrades and enough depth to stay interesting

There's a disturbing lack of Phantasy Star Portable 1 & 2 in this thread.

Also want to second Rock Band Unplugged because it has similar gameplay to the ps2 game Amplitude.

No one ever talks about it, but Ratatouille game on psp was really fun, seemed superior to the home console versions in terms of fun

I always had a great time with Field Commander. Before my PSP broke it was basically the only game I played.

SW:BF2 was also really nice because the autoaim made it a really nice power fantasy.

Now I want to play it again. Anyone know a good PSP emulator?

NFS: Underground rivals, you can launch your car into the city sky at like 280mph, the nitrous refill in that game is way too generous. It also has Thank You For The Venom on the soundtrack. War of the Lions is 2nd.

I still have my PSP on my desk, on who knows how many battery replacements. I come back for:

• Burnout Legends
• Locoroco
• Lumines & Lumines II
• N+
• Echochrome
• Guilty Gear XX
