At number 6 in Top 10 All Time Best Playstation Games is Red Dead Redemption.

The Last of Us was one of the last PS3 exclusives to come out and it was that game which made the entire PC and Xbox community feel jealous of the PS3 owners because they couldn’t play a game which probably is one of the best games ever. With a really moving storyline it featured a brutal and realistic take on the end of the world scenario. All ready a stellar game, the Remastered edition for PS4 further improved the experience.

4. Suikoden 2

At number 4 is Suikoden 2. The rule of gaming industry is simple, “Make a great game and it will sell itself”. But sadly it wasn’t the case for Suikoden 2. When it came out on Playstation, it received very less notice because the world was already spellbound by Final Fantasy and since both were JRPGs, Suikoden was pushed into shadow. However those few people who bought and played it know what a true masterpiece it was. The fact that you take a heroic quest to save the world and can recruit 108 other characters is in itself intriguing, add to that an epic story filled with twist and turns, politics and betrayals like Game of Thrones and you have yourself a must play game.

3. Shadow of Colossus

At number 2 in Top 10 All Time Best Playstation Games is Shadow of Colossus. Despite the game having a really large open world with hardly any NPCs, very few dialogue and no enemy except the 16 giants that we are tasked to kill, this PS2 gem has gone down in history as one of the greatest games ever created. As it is said, less is sometimes more and this game follows on that. It delivers a vague sense of distraught and helpless as it pits you in that large world without a soul to interact with and these huge and imposing enemies to fight off. The game delivers a story that must be experienced by everyone.

2. Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain

At number 2 in Top 10 All Time Best Playstation Games is Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain. Taking the top spot in our list is none other than the Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain.

The game gives its players a never seen before amount of freedom to approach a particular mission and is a benchmark for action/adventure/stealth games to come in the future. The apart from the gameplay, it had a great background 90’s score, great voice-acting and some of the best graphics for any game on the PS4.

1. GTA 5

At number 1 in Top 10 All Time Best Playstation Games is GTA 5.The best selling game on two generations of PlayStation (PS3 and PS4). The game was a winner when it came out on PS3 and was easily one of the best games on that console but that was not that game’s full potential. Everyone waited for the PS4 version with better graphics and a first person mode and it really delivered. The game was especially memorable for giving control of three characters to the gamers each with his own personality and storyline.
