Featuring the best endings not only of the series but in my opinion of any game ever made, it was a delightfully macabre title that still holds up today.

The first demolition derby game made it on the PlayStation Classic, but not its storied sequel. With the top-down action games like Blood Omen having a renaissance and Shakespearean narratives never more popular, it’s weird that these cult classics aren’t available on current generation systems. Legacy of Kain was the best thing in video game vampires until the tall Resident Evil chick captured our hearts and other blood-filled organs. Likely, we’ll eventually be getting either a set of remakes or a classic bundle, but until then grab what you can. The original Dead Space and its sequel remain worth playing through, but they are missing from the PS4 and PS5 store. I’m still kicking myself for not re-downloading Super Mario RPG before the Wii store closed.ĭead Space 3 is widely regarded as the low point in the franchise, a money-grubbing cash grab that latched onto a horror series like a parasite. I would get these now because there seems to be a reticence from Square to make these titles available. These includes much of the old Square Enix library such as Final Fantasies III – VI, Chrono Trigger/Cross, and Parasite Eve. Unfortunately, you still have to track down a physical copy of The Orange Box if you want to try the original Portal.Ī lot of classics are missing from the current PlayStation library, but still easily available from the PS3 (so much that we recommended a buying spree there instead of the PlayStation Classic). When the PS3 is gone, it will once again be impossible for PlayStation fans to take Chell and GLaDOS through the ruins of Aperture.

It’s slightly janky, but the engaging cyberpunk story and inventive combat system will make you glad you picked up this underrated gem.ĭespite being one of the most meme’d games in existence, Portal 2 is surprisingly hard to find on consoles. You play as Nilin, a woman with the ability to hack memories and program her body for different martial arts. If you found yourself disappointed with Cyberpunk 2077, there is no better cure than Dontnod’s first and best foray into the action genre. Here is a pretty basic list of titles worth grabbing while you can. Unlike Nintendo with the Wii, Sony will still allow you to download purchases made prior to the shutdown, which means that you have a few months to round out your collection before some titles disappear from sale for the foreseeable future. As someone that still plays their PS3 regularly, this is a sore blow, especially because there are still a lot of games on the system that have not been added to the PS4 and PS5 stores. Sony has announced that they will be closing down their PS3 online store on August 27.
