Gamers often debate what defines the best games. Is it story? Gameplay? Innovation? For many, the 138 answer lies in a combination of all three—and PlayStation has long been a leader in delivering that balance. From emotionally driven sagas to innovative mechanics and genre-defining titles, PlayStation games are often held up as the gold standard for what gaming can and should be.
Look at The Last of Us, for example. It’s not just a story about survival; it’s a game that redefined how emotion can be conveyed through interactivity. Then there’s Bloodborne, which challenged players with unforgiving difficulty wrapped in masterful art design. These PlayStation games didn’t follow trends—they set them, making them some of the best games of all time.
The same can be said for PSP games, which carried the torch of innovation into the handheld space. Games like Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together showed that complex mechanics and mature storytelling weren’t limited to home systems. The PSP created a home for games that were ambitious yet accessible, providing players with deep gameplay while on the move.
Ultimately, greatness in gaming isn’t about visuals alone—it’s about how a game stays with you. It’s about that moment when gameplay and narrative align perfectly to create something unforgettable. And time and again, whether on a massive screen or a small handheld, PlayStation and PSP games have delivered those moments in abundance.
