Long-running Japanese video game publication Famitsu recently ran a poll for its readers to select their favourite PlayStation games in celebration of the brand’s 30th anniversary. Over 4000 votes were submitted, allowing the magazine to compile an impressive list of 30 best PlayStation games across all systems.
The list includes a mix of classics and modern hits, but surprisingly, not even a single PS5 game made the top 30.
Key Points:
- Top Game: Final Fantasy VII
- No PS5 Games Among Top 30
- PS1 Dominance: Multiple titles from the PS1 era topped key positions in the ranking
What do you say is the best PlayStation (PS1-5) game?
I am surprised that Symphony of the Night isn’t on there.
Was that big in Japan?
I like the old Arc the Lad games and I always forget that Japan just loves them.
It’s in my top three PS1 games personally, so I agree, but this list is full of interesting biases.
Best one? Final Fantasy X
Best one not listed? inFamous 2
In case you didn’t want to go to Twitter, here’s the list:
Thanks a ton!
They are also on Bluesky. GDL’s a great follow if you’re interested in Japanese gaming trends.
An article based on twitter post based on screenshot of a spreadsheet. 🤢
Honestly, I’m surprised Crash Bandicoot & The Last of Us barely squeaked in at the bottom of the list.
Japanese people really like Japanese devs.
I didn’t realise dynasty warriors was so popular.
Still can’t believe that (spoiler for Astro Bot)
Tap for spoiler
there is not a Cloud or other FFVII character Astro Bot among the 301 rescue able bots in the entire game
… :(
I love seeing Xenogears so high on this list.
I’m surprised to see Arc the Lad voted so high. I thought I was the only person who liked that series.
