8 PS3 Era Hidden Gems You Probably Haven't Played

[@dexocube]

Good list!

[@Platchums]

Thanks!

[@kristoferwarren1749]

Just played The Saboteur after finding a near mint copy and I love it. Castlevania is on my back catalogue to finish, another excellent gem. I was considering getting the second one, but don't know much about it.

[@Platchums]

Awesome Kristofer! Great find. I never played LoS2 but it definitely wasn’t received as well as the first. It’s available on PS Plus Premium now if you wanted to give a go (if you are ok with the PS3 streaming!)

[@hubster316]

Lords of shadows is fantastic, one of my fave plats and the music is excellent!! I own the game of thrones rpg, just haven't played yet loading up the ps3 is tough when you own a ps4 and 5 lol

[@Platchums]

Absolutely agree on LoS! Also agree about the PS3, it unfortunately feels so slow after coming from the PS5!

[@motokompa7319]

I have The Saboteur and Castlevania sitting in my shelf waiting to be played. I'll check out those other ones, mini ninjas looked neat. Great video, Dan 😁

[@GuyFarruski]

You were right... I've only played 2 of these games on this list. Enslaved and Castlevania. Great Video!

[@Platchums]

Thanks a million, appreciate it. Hope you're keeping well, man - Nate

[@unknown........]

ye i haven't played any of these, great video dan

[@Platchums]

Thanks a million unknown! I tried to pick ones that weren’t showcased too often out of the games I own! :)

[@LeechyPlayStation]

Awesome video this one lads really enjoyed it! Mini Ninjas was awesome when I played it as a kid proper little hidden gem!

[@Platchums]

Dan always said it's a completely underrated game - must play it myself one day. - Nate

[@slippingjimy]

Majin and the foresaken Kingdom, lollipop chainsaw, 3d dot Heroes, Godfather 1 and 2, asuras wrath, Deadly premonition, splatterhouse.. all underated and still plattable.

[@davea8487]

We don't talk about the 2nd Lords Of Shadow game, Dan! In seriousness good video though 😅. PS3 game I really loved I never see much about was Shank & Shank 2, made by Klei who ended up doing Don't Starve. Loved the artstyle and the gore

[@Platchums]

😆I didn’t play the sequel haha! Thanks Dave, and wow, Shank looks really cool. They are really great suggestions!

[@Aeneiden]

Managed to pick up Folklore for about 50$. Haven't had time to play it though, but I look forward to it

[@Platchums]

Nice one! I hope you like it, it’s a great game to have for the collection :)

[@jjjjhhjhhbhhhhh]

Just going through my PS3 backlog now, so thank you for this video, that will add more lmao

[@Platchums]

Very best of luck with the backlog! I still have some outstanding stuff too, must get around to it! 😅

[@jjjjhhjhhbhhhhh]

@@Platchums the struggles of being a completionist is real 😂

[@ZXEL86]

Never heard of a couple of these. Thanks guys 👌

[@dazzafett-gaming]

Another great video guys. Castlevania is on my backlog cleanup to do list but I will be checking into the others although Folklore is just ridiculously expensive to buy now so will most likely never get to play that one even tho I have wanted to for a long time.

[@Platchums]

Yeah Folklore is pricey if you can find it! I bought it back in the day purely because of the Irish thing 😅 a shame it has no trophies

[@joshuajohnson4352]

This was a great vid and I look forward to checking some of these out! Would you consider doing a hidden gems on ps plus premium? Would love to see that!

[@radiate_plat]

Even as a guy with 400+ games in his PS3 collection i still found one on that nice list, i didnt have yet 😍 (game of thrones… i always thought this was a telltale game for some reason haha) great recommendations, thanks! keep on going party people 😇

[@zvas2962]

Castlevania LOS is in my top ten games no doubt. Its got such a lovely vibe.

[@Platchums]

Yeah they definitely captured the Castlevania magic while transitioning into a completely different type of game! The voice acting and narration were top notch :D

[@zvas2962]

@Platchums 100%! Great video by the way, really enjoyed your narration! 💗

[@Platchums]

@@zvas2962 you’re too kind! Thanks 🙏

[@juanpineiro4507]

Nice video 👍, LOS definitely a great game and the sequel is good as well . An honorable mention for me is Vanquish , that is one awesome game .

[@juanpineiro4507]

Congrat deez nutz

[@Sivrn-Val]

Whenever I see one of these lists, I always know White Knight Chronicles won't be on it... sadness.

[@Dootslay4rX66]

I think you forgot Splatterhouse, it was criminally underrated but very fun

[@Platchums]

I never played it but that looks like a lot of over-the-top violent fun :D

[@Dootslay4rX66]

@@Platchums dude, its a very fortunate surprise and THE gem of hidden gems, because the console is a disaster in its entirety but packed with awesome games. And Splatterhouse the Remake for the PS3 is awesome, but i must say its performance is not that great, its a over the top violent fun but clunky, i say its a feature instead of a issue lmao

[@Slumberpartytime]

One game that definitely proved me wrong was The Bureau Xcom Declassified. The damn game was just sitting there on my shelf until I forced myself to play it for a second time. One of the few games that I was actually sad to plat because that meant I wasn’t going to play it anymore. Really addicting

[@josemoreno-bo5iu]

Amazing video, got them all

[@Platchums]

Awesome work, man, sorry we couldn't recommend any new games for you! But great work getting all the platinums - Nate

[@mikgenta]

Enslaved was really slept on!

[@Platchums]

Absolutely, it was ambitious and unique!

[@nottoday9182]

Playing through "The Darkness" games and damn they are cool! A real bummer 2k has the rights to it.

[@Platchums]

The Darkness was a game one of my best friends loved! I remember the Darkness 2 was pretty cool as well :) ahead of its time I think

[@PeaTearGames]

Fantastic video guys! Folklore is one I've wanted to grab for a while but like you said it's quite rare and therefore expensive! Maybe one day haha

[@Platchums]

Thanks a million man! Yeah I got lucky and picked it up years ago when it was cheap. You might spot it for a good price randomly one day, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 😆

[@PeaTearGames]

@@Platchums haha I wish I'd picked it up 😅 or maybe just not gotten rid of my OG copy of it! Thank you I appreciate the assistance 🤞😂

[@Coincollector81]

I picked up folklore when the game launched and still have it.

[@graymars1097]

0:09 so here’s this giant enemy crab 🦀 great 👍

[@aviajay6]

what the fuck I thought I was watching some 300k+ views video that showed up on my recommended...your editing is so good man

[@Platchums]

Haha you’re way too kind! Thank you 🙏

[@craigt2192]

Some interesting looking games, The Saboteur looks good

[@Platchums]

Thanks Craig :) yeah the saboteur is one that’s ironically aged well considering that genre has stayed pretty static 😂

[@azez6799]

Enslaved and Hunted... so cool, brings back so much nostalgia. I can't believe I'd forgotten them until now. But I guess that's why they're hidden gems, and not cult classics.

[@Platchums]

Yeah it was a bit of a nostalgia trip picking the games for this list! The distinction between cult classic and hidden gem is one I hadn’t though of 🧐 very interesting 😄

[@clarityice]

One game I played last year that’s a hidden gem is El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron. I absolutely adore the visuals and the combat is solid. The platinum is challenging but doable with enough practice. Definitely worth a play-through!

[@Platchums]

That’s a hidden gem if I ever saw one! Must try and find a copy of this myself, thanks :)

[@Coincollector81]

Another video of ps3 hidden gems that I own. The list is meager and doesn't scratch the surface of the ps3 hidden gems. I really need to do videos of my collection.

[@Platchums]

I'd love to hear some recommendations, always love being put onto some new games - Nate

[@Coincollector81]

@Platchums My personal recommendations are. Lego the hobbit Lego the lord of the rings Lego marvel super hero's Lego batman 2 Toy story 3 Cabelas outdoor adventures Cabelas big game hunter 2009 Smackdown vs raw 2009 John woo presents stranglehold Katamari forever Way of the samurai The atelier games Puppeteer Eternal sonata Afrosamurai Wet Enchanted arms Overlord raising hell The godfather the Don's edition Kingdoms of amular reckoning Kingdom hearts 1.5 and 2.5 Gta V Fallout 3 and NewVegas Marvel ultimate alliance Naruto ultimate storm games Almost all of the HD remasters Ninja Gaiden sigma 1 and 2 Saints row 2 and 3 Final fantasy 13 Ar tonelico Just cause 2 Ratchet and clank Yakuza titles Dark souls Demon souls Assassins creed 2 Batman arkham asylum goty edition Batman arkham city goty edition Mafia 2 definitive edition Golden axe Beast rider Elder scrolls iv oblivion goty edition Elder scrolls v skyrim legendary edition Spiderman games Legend of heroes trails of cold steel games The incredible hulk Jo jos bizarre adventure Spyro the dragon One piece pirate warriors 1,2 and 3 Shrek forever after Folklore The Simpsons game

[@nefarioussness]

Folklore is one of my favourite games of all time. It deserves a port to other consoles.

[@patmosis4258]

Great list. Have only played Enslaved. The collectibles were a bit much, but grand game. Always wanted to play Saboteur, but the nudity dlc made me embarrassed for the industry.

[@Platchums]

Haha I remember seeing the dlc was available but never played it, mainly cause it didn’t have trophies 🤣 I had no idea that it was that type of dlc 😯

[@mikeross5836]

Have all these except Hunted love them all

[@Platchums]

Hopefully on the next list we can find some more games you haven't played! :P

[@trewth2002]

Enslaved: Odyssey To The West, Castlevania Lord Of Shadows and Mini Ninja look good, but the rest are all the 2 genres I’m not a fan of, open world games and action RPGs (they’re both starting to bore the shit out of me). One hidden gem I’d recommend is Saw. A survival horror take on the splatter film franchise, it has plenty of puzzles that feel right at home with the series and enough resource management to be tense. The platinum’s quite easy but it’s still a fun game you don’t see many people talking about

[@Platchums]

Oh Saw! Nice call out man, yeah I remember hearing good things about that game. I used to like the movies but my wife is literally terrified of Jigsaw so I haven’t seen them in years 😂

[@trewth2002]

@@Platchums hahahaha yeah some of the films are great. The game really does them justice

[@joshifan29]

I have all of these and they are great.

[@Platchums]

Dan is a man of fine taste. - Nate

[@emanuelferreira2117]

You forgot about the Hannah Montana game,most underrated game on that console

[@Platchums]

That game is in a different tier of excellence, wouldn't have fair to other games to include it.

[@bettosanchez1909]

Castlevania is a great game but the 110% trophy is horrible

[@Platchums]

Yeah great game with some tricky trophies! That kinda difficulty used to be standard, PS3 era was a different time 😂

[@metro9640]

what game is 1:08 ?

[@dc7981]

Saboteur is def underrated

[@Platchums]

Remaster when??? 😎

[@samthemadman5000]

You forgot Shadows of the Damned, that game is ridiculously funny too... I think there was a gane called Lair that was decent at the time it came out
