[@ThePugman64]

You have the best retro video gaming on the internet ,thank you. Brings back the good old days I've already gone to eBay and ordered three games because of you again thank you

[@socialistprofessor3206]

I'm letting my PS Plus lapse next year. There are excellent titles from the previous systems, like these, that I want to experience.

[@kaphasibad8369]

I feel u no Maximo 1& 2 no Contra Shattered Soldier or Neo Contra ,no Rygarr ythe Legendary Hero these are Classic Ps2 Exclusives that have fallen into obscurity and the deserve to be preserved in gamers Libraries ,Nintendo & even Xbox have fully embraced their Classic library at a game price nevertheless it's available ,I mean yes we got Sly Cooper 1 just dropped nevertheless Ps. Is sitting on tons of games that can be introduced to the new generation of gamers while simultaneously appeasing the Nostalgia of Ol school gamers, I thought from a company perspective it was about making capital what the deal?

This vid was awesome. Thanks so much for putting this together. So many games I need to go get now

[@jimmymackinnon8474]

I like that you included Dr. Muto because it is my favorite video game of all time. I play through it once every year or so

[@RiVer-Parish]

That's for posting another great video.

[@FriendlyBatDoom]

Shadow Hearts 2: The Covenant is my favorite PS2 game of all time. It sucks that the studio Midway Games was closed because now we can't get a remaster on PSN and PS5. Yuri Hyuga is the GOAT 🐐.

[@nickwest932]

A lot of the people involved with Shadow Hearts is making a game called Penny Blood, a spiritual successor.

[@FriendlyBatDoom]

@@nickwest932 thank you for letting me know that. I will definitely look into the game now. 👍

[@ramrodbldm9876]

​@@FriendlyBatDoom if that is your favorite ps2 game it must of been the only ps2 game you played, or you're just a loser with an L take and and bad taste. Either or that game isn't even top 50 in the ps2 library. And that's not subjective, that's fact

I hope that I did a fair job of getting some truly overlooked video game hidden gems that covered not only multiple regions, but also single regions as well. Now, if my list has some obvious hits, and/or titles that I missed, then please let me know, as these 310 video games were not easy to find information on, to be honest. There is a lot of shovelware, as there were between 3,000 to 10,000 official Sony PlayStation 2 video games that were made (and who knows how many homebrew video games), but there is also a lot of really good hits if you know where to look online. Wikipedia has a lot of information, as it has A to K, and L to Z, lists for the Sony PlayStation 2, and Metacritic, and Gamefaqs will fill in most of the other gaps. I also tried to get as many video games as I could to have a 70 or above ranking overall, though some video games are around 65 or so, as they had truly innovative, and/or revolutionary, features that honestly changed the game when it came to video games, thus I could not overlook those titles. Also, you can use your browser (hopefully DuckDuckGo), to type in the words, "the best ps2 hidden gems" in order to get more suggestions for the video games that you all might want to play with in the future. Thank you for your feedback and constructive criticism, and remember, I can translate your comments from other languages, thanks to Google Translate, so I hope that my translations to my comments in response to your comments also makes sense to you all here.

Crimson Tears didnt review or sell well unfortunately but You can really tell that the bones are very solid and a sequel with more budget could have been amazing Its also a genre that really didnt get the chance to find itself

[@Livingtree32]

I saw Shadow Hearts: Covenant on the thumbnail and I’m a bit confused 😅 How is that “ultra hidden”

[@lurkerrekrul]

Micro Machines V4 - Who thought it was a good idea to make a race game where you're constantly stopping??? That one "feature" destroyed any appeal this game might have had for me. The Thing - When i first heard about this game, I desperately wanted to play it, however I didn't have any of the systems it was released for. Then my desire to play it pretty much died when I learned that the developers intentional broke the whole infection mechanic by having it be scripted at set points. Why even bother to put in the whole testing system if it's completely pointless?
