Guardian's Crusade for the psx.
PS1 PS1/PS2 Hidden Gems?
- Thread starter TheImmortalP
- Start date
it not the most hidden game but all the ace combat games are fantastic
<-- *not from ace combat*
Valkirie profile 2 on PS2 and also the Ys games in general, in PS2 you can play the sixth game. Also the dot hack games for PS2, Gungrave and Zone of the enders (everything is for PS2 ?)

I feel like AGDQ has made this one more popular lately but No One Can Stop Mr. Domino has always been a childhood favorite. Tobal 2 is one of my favorite fighting games on the system, and for puzzle games I really like Tall infinity and its sequel tall - twin's tower
oh right, for PS2 there's mawaza, really weird puzzle game about connecting dots to make shapes then rotating them by each corner to slam them into other shapes. Road Trip and Choro Q are both fascinating racing game RPGs in the same franchise set in a world where cars are just alive. Flipnic which is this surreal pinball adventure with the most wild graphic design I've seen in a game of that era.

Seems like a dupe post, but I'll again mention Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 or My Summer Vacation 2.
I don't hear this game mentioned often outside of places like this, so just to make sure it's out there, since it's an absolute goddamn masterpiece: Alundra, for the PSX.
Pretty much the best top-down Zelda game that's not a Zelda game. Highly, highly recommend it.
And while I'm at it, here's a random, overlooked action game that deserves way more attention: Rising Zan, also for PSX.
Man, now I'm remembering tons and tons more - I'll limit myself to one more recommendation, since I don't want to flood this thread: Racing Lagoon, a street racing JRPG, also for the PSX.
Games like this are the reason people like me still consider the fifth console generation the most interesting. Genuinely weird ideas realized with an actual budget (for the time). Great stuff.
(Great Youtube channel btw - plenty of other recommendations on there as well)

Aight, for the PS2 we have some options:
These are pretty good, and all from The Repo, enjoy.

Oh hell yeah, I was meaning to play Racing Lagoon and entirely forgot about it. Might be my night tonight now

Way of the Samurai series is my suggestion for the thread, also!
I think he meant exclusively for the PS1 and 2, but these recommendations are too good to be ignored, nice!

I second these, though I feel Infinite Space is way too large in scope for the DS; I feel it would have been much better realized on the PSP, Vita or 3DS. It is also very buggy.
The Metal Max series definitely deserves to be played, and most of the games have excellent translations at this point.
On my end, I can recommend a few. While none of them are groundbreakingly incredible, I feel they are low key great games that never got much fanfarre:
All of them are tactical RPGs so your enjoyment will be predicated on your opinion of the genre.

Everyone loves suikoden 2 but I gotta shill the rest of the series when I can
I'd recommend Tsugunai: Atonement if you're heavily invested in the RPG genre. Numerous RPGs shown above are games I'd recommend before this one (Shadow Hearts especially). It features great music from Yasunori Mitsuda and an interesting dodge / parry battle system.
Another general game to recommend would be Skygunner. It looks visually awesome, sounds great, and has a decent flight system to boot.

I realize now that I've been remiss on showing a PS2 example, sorry. Here it is.

Thousand Arms for the Playstation 1,one of the greatest underated Hidden JRPG gems ever made and very overlooked,at first glance,it may appear like a typical average Basic turn-based RPG,but this game also incorporates alot of halarious comedy gold dating sim/simulation style gameplay to it where the main character meis can date one of the Girls to powerup his weapons/abilities,and not to mention that this game has a kickass soundtrack and an incredible opening intro by legendary jpop artist "
Ayumi Hamasaki" ^^

I remember playing this one only briefly and I admit I was quick to dismiss it, but it's nice to know there's more to it than meets the eye! I'll give it another go.
I am LOVING the suggestions! You guys are legends! More would not be amiss, even if you believe them to be more known.
