YAKUZA 2 (RESTORED).

The Kiwami version is kinda lame.
Shinseicho was deleted from the remake.
Substories cutted.
And it's strange to get used to Yakuza 6's combat if you come from 0 and kiwami 1, especially considering that Yakuza 3 follows a scheme more similar to PS2 duology.

Rogue Galaxy, Mark of Kri, Haunting Ground, God Hand, Shadow of the Colossus, ICO, Rise to Honor
 
Ace Combat 4
Soul Calibur III
Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner

All 3 of them are arcade-ish so they don't take too much time to finish and have great replayability
 
I'm surprised you left out Final Fantasy X, X-2, and XII, and Persona 3 and 4, given the amount of heavy hitters on that list
 
Kuon
all splinter cell games
all prince of persia games
the punisher
manhunt 1 and 2
all tales of games
ghost rider
forbiden siren 1 and 2
arcana heart
twisted metal black
marvel ultimate alliance
the thing
just cause
darkwatch
rogue galaxy
shin megami tensei devil summoner
soul calibur 2
bloody roar 4
the suffering 1 and 2
