Let’s take a look at some of the best PS3 games of all time below!
1. Uncharted 2 among Thieves
Uncharted Drake’s Fortune II by Naughty Dog stands as one of the finest action/adventure games ever created. Nate and company embark on an incredible global journey that spans from snowy mountaintops to crumbling cities – and back again!
Cinematic set pieces in this game are truly breathtaking, while gameplay is both engaging and addictive. Additionally, its multiplayer component stands proudly among top shooters available – making this title an absolute must-have for Playstation owners.
2. Far Cry 3
After being released from pirate captivity, the protagonist of Far Cry 3 takes up arms against an army of slave-trading pirates led by Vaas Montenegro and sets out on an adventure to retake Rook Island from them.
This game boasts an exciting open-world gameplay and captivating storyline, along with three distinct skill trees, an assortment of activities, and a stunning map. Graphics look beautiful even on lower spec PCs while gameplay runs smoothly; however there may be technical flaws like screen tearing that cause issues during game play.
3. Dark Souls
Dark Souls, the spiritual successor to Demon’s Souls, is an incredible game about perseverance in an often cruel world – which may explain its immense popularity.
FromSoftware prioritizes respecting their player’s time by not using unnecessary shortcuts to speed up gameplay. An example would be when enemies using giant axes revert back to staffs upon being defeated; rather than immediately switching out for staffs as soon as you kill them.
Memory will be key in order to defeat bosses like Undead Burg’s first skeleton. You must memorize certain tricks and patterns if you wish to defeat it successfully.
4. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 3 was an enormously influential game that set a new standard in open world stealth action games and added an air of authenticity that even today can only be rivaled by war-ravaged Middle Eastern cities or vast underground tunnels. Small details like Snake rubbing his back or climbing staircases provided just as much atmosphere than dark underground passageways or war zones.
The Remaster offers massive visual upgrades, 4K resolution support and features such as Virtual Range for honing shooting skills. In addition, it provides 16 player online multiplayer play, offering both Team Deathmatch and Sneaking modes to experience online play.
5. God of War 3
God of War 3 is an instant classic! Packed with fast-paced action and epic boss battles with gigantic bosses, its remastered version must-be played by fans of this series.
Remaster delivers stunning visuals with its resolution and frame-rate locked at 60fps for smooth gameplay even when engaging hordes of mythological creatures.
Players assume the role of Kratos, an ex-Spartan warrior looking for revenge against an evil Norse pantheon. The game draws its inspiration from Greek and Norse mythology.
6. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
Skyrim finally delivers on all of its predecessors’ promises; day-night cycles, dynamic weather patterns, and NPC routines all contribute to creating a realistic world which exists without being controlled by you directly.
Few games offer such an expansive world and immersive appeal as Battlefield Hardline does, yet few can match its sheer immersiveness. Unfortunately, however, it does have its own set of problems; controller responses in dense crowd areas tend to lag terribly.
7. Mass Effect Trilogy
BioWare has finally unveiled Mass Effect for PS3. Requiring a mandatory install and boasting improved frame rates during cutscenes, texture pop-in is virtually nonexistent and there’s no screen tearing – an impressive accomplishment considering Mass Effect’s original release five years ago.
The three main missions have all been visually remastered, with uniform front ends and “tens of thousands” of up-ressed textures, models, and visual effects – as well as your decisions carrying over between games in the trilogy.
8. BioShock Infinite
BioShock Infinite builds upon the success of its predecessors with fast-paced action and impressive AI set within an imaginative floating city environment. Its captivating narrative explores multiple themes such as American exceptionalism, racism and prejudice, free will versus religion and time and space theory.
From a technical perspective, both console versions of BioShock Infinite are extremely similar, with performance being the deciding factor rather than image quality. PC gamers, however, benefit from superior image resolution due to an absence of v-sync artifacting and tearing issues.
9. Burnout Paradise
Burnout Paradise Remastered marks the 10th anniversary re-release of an open world racing game that set out to challenge cookie-cutter design in 2008. While much of its inaccessible design remains, graphics and performance improvements offer welcome relief to players looking for speed while being distracted by user interface elements.
Uncharted 2 among Thieves offers engaging storylines, breathtaking set pieces and refined gameplay mechanics; Dark Souls is an action RPG renowned for its difficulty; while Metal Gear Solid 4 series provides immersive sci-fi storytelling experiences.
10. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Deus Ex: Human Revolution delivers an engaging sci-fi experience, complete with captivating storyline and memorable characters. Set in a futuristic world characterized by technological progress hinted at through electronic books and newspapers, Adam Jensen gets embroiled in an international conspiracy involving powerful augment technology that threatens global peace.
Other notable PS3 titles include Dead Space, which delivers spine-chilling sci-fi horror; Metal Gear Solid 4 blends stealth action with cinematic storytelling; Journey offers mesmerizing artistry and emotive storytelling; as well as Batman Arkham Asylum, XCOM Enemy Unknown, and The Walking Dead Season 1. Each of these games boast stunning visuals and immersive gameplay!
