During the seventh generation of consoles, my gaming hobby depended entirely on my parents, so I had to be extremely careful with my choices.
Money was tight, and I consider myself lucky enough to have received a new video game once a month, but this made me a very selective player.
How long it was, how good it looked, what people were saying about it, how well it would age, how many times I could play it… I asked myself numerous questions to filter the options, and it was a system that functioned wonderfully for me.
However, I should clarify that it worked out well not only because it allowed me to choose many outstanding games almost flawlessly, but also because it gave me the authority to invite you to read this list of the ten best PS3 games with high replay value.
10 Splinter Cell: Черный список
Sam Fisher’s Best Version
Although I wasn’t very familiar with the series, since Splinter Cell: Убеждение was my first experience with it, choosing Ячейка Сплинтера: Черный список turned out to be a very wise decision.
Firstly, because the stealth games of the era focused heavily on offering replayability through incredibly deep level design that provided an ideal environment for approaching each mission in different and highly engaging ways, ensuring no two playthroughs were ever the same.
But secondly, because it featured a split-screen multiplayer mode that allowed you to experience a separate campaign with a friend, which I must admit was among the best cooperative experiences I’ve ever had.
I know the genre isn’t the most popular, especially now that it has declined so much, though Ячейка Сплинтера: Черный список is a breath of fresh air if you want to experience a game whose campaign you can complete up to three times, always seeing something distinct.
9 Массовый Эффект 2
A Galaxy to Save
While I can say Mass Effect was fantastic and holds some of my fondest memories from its generation, I can also say that what Mass Effect 2 does is absurdly superior.
BioWare gifted us one of the most refined sequels of all time, with an ability to draw the player into its vast universe and connect with them through its stories and characters that seem otherworldly.
The game makes you feel part of the events by placing you in situations where your decisions completely alter the course of events, causing everything from the death of your companions and the extinction of a robotic race to the destruction of years of biological weapons research.
From this, it’s easy to understand why Mass Effect 2 has such high replay value. Add to that the fact that it’s also an RPG in a gameplay sense, with numerous classes that change how you play, and you get a product you’ll have to finish multiple times if you want to experience it to the fullest.
8 Deus Ex: Революция человечества
Testing Your Morals
I’ve realized many of my favorite video games are those that force me to rethink my worldview, which is why I never tire of mentioning Deus Ex: Human Revolution среди них.
However, Adam Jensen’s adventure isn’t on this list solely for its incredible ability to instill moral doubts, but for doing it so profoundly and in such varied ways across numerous attempts to unravel the narrative fully.
Since the game is an immersive sim, allowing you to be a juggernaut who destroys everything in sight, a hacker who pits every living (or inanimate) being against each other, or a thief who slips away undetected, believe me, it’s delightful to find excuses to replay it with a new playstyle.
I’ve played through the game four times, each time with a different philosophical approach to dialogue and decisions and a different mechanical approach to gameplay, and they truly felt like four separate video games, which is the biggest testament to Deus Ex: Human Revolution«s мастерство.
7 Темных Душ
A World of Secrets to Discover
I must admit that my first time playing Dark Souls felt like a horror game, as I was terrified of losing my souls or encountering a boss that would finally make me quit, so I had to play it a second time almost immediately.
Now that I knew where everything relevant was, I allowed myself a more relaxed experience, until I realized how much I’d missed because of tunnel vision that only allowed me to see straight ahead.
Secret areas, a completely new type of weapon, spells, NPC questlines, endings… My second playthrough of Dark Souls was the realization that I hadn’t actually finished the game, but had only reached the credits.
Overall, I think it’s frankly impossible to explore all of Lordran in a single playthrough, and that holds for all FromSoftware games. To say that the true Soulsborne experience begins in NG+, or when you’ve created your fourth pink character with huge eyes and ears, might be an exaggeration, though considering the path they’ve followed over time, maybe not so much.
6 Пограничные земли 2
More Weapons Than You Can Imagine
Borderlands 2 was my first introduction to the looter shooter genre, and the experience was so vast that I feel like I could have never played another one and still feel like I’d seen it all.
Even if I disregard the fact that you can play it with up to three friends, which easily triples the game’s lifespan, it’s still an exceptional title even for those who prefer to play solo.
You have four characters with their own skill trees and builds, dozens of areas with hundreds of enemies, a huge amount of endgame content, Claptrap, and a weapon arsenal as impressive as it is creative, so I don’t think anyone would judge you if you did what I did and played nothing but Borderlands 2 на целый год.
At one point, I even had three parallel characters: one to play with my brother, another with my best friend, and one on my own. I wouldn’t say it was a unique experience in each case, but that doesn’t change that I was playing the same campaign three times simultaneously, and I never got bored.
5 Диабло 3
Prepare to Forget About Your Family
Every single thing I just said about Borderlands 2 is curiously applicable to Diablo 3, only from an isometric perspective instead of an FPS.
Having the same addictive quality, its dense loot system, and gameplay loop that works wonderfully thanks to each class’ depth and the sheer amount of content, it’s the kind of game that, once it hooks you, won’t let go until you play its sequel and repeat the process.
I lost count of the number of characters I created and builds I tried because the mere act of experimenting and trying to be creative was fun, and the fact that the combat was excellent, along with the story and cinematics, was just the icing on the cake.
I know its release was controversial and most die-hard Diablo 2 fans don’t hold it in such high regard, but for me, it’s by far among the purest and most uncomplicated video games I’ve ever played.
4 Догма Дракона
You’ll Never Look at RPGs the Same Way Again
As a fan of the fight choreography in ’90s anime, I grew up with a pretty specific idea of what was epic, but it was difficult to find a video game that could evoke those same feelings.
However, one of the first and most vivid reminders of this was Догма Дракона, which went far beyond what I’d seen in games of its time like Dragon Age 2 or The Witcher 2, delivering some of the most impressive spectacles I’ve ever witnessed instead of just some flashy colors and sword swings.
Being able to summon meteors, unleash beams of light, or execute hundreds of sword strikes in a second, depending on my class, while fighting fantastical, gigantic, and climbable creatures like chimeras or ogres, was simply ahead of its time and remains so today.
Regardless of the length of its campaign, each playable specialization is so unique and impressive that I find it almost impossible not to want to at least maximize the abilities of half of them, because the power fantasy that Догма Дракона gives you is something without comparison.
3 Dragon Age: Истоки
Mastering the Art of Deciding
I’m fully aware that in the previous paragraphs I complained about the lack of spectacle in the series relevant to this entry, but Dragon Age: Origins is simply legendary.
Is the gameplay one of the clunkiest out there, almost to the point where you wish it were a game without combat and focused purely on its narrative? Yes, it is, and yet I’m completely sure I should place it this high on the list.
Точно, Dragon Age: Origins is masterfully written, with dozens of memorable characters within a sublime plot whose worldbuilding rivals the best in video game history, so it’s entitled to some leniency on the matter.
I was so delighted by all the possible outcomes of each main and side quest that I tolerated being bored without much trouble during combat sessions, since the entire story made it completely worthwhile.
For today’s audience, I understand playing Dragon Age: Origins might sound like torture, but if you’re one of those players who prioritize narrative above all else, I can’t think of many better alternatives than this marvel.
2 Опозоренный
You’ll Never Repeat a Playthrough
Roguelikes aside, Dishonored is by far the single-player game I’ve finished the most times in my life, as I’ve seen a dozen times the credits roll on Arkane Studios’ masterpiece.
Since each mission has numerous ways to approach it, whether due to its inexplicably interconnected level design or the presence of side quests that alter the objectives’ outcome, simply discovering what’s possible and what isn’t is magnificent.
Even though the skill tree and weapons aren’t extensive enough to say it has builds, it’s certainly perfectly curated to suit the type of gameplay you want to experience, with combinations that have allowed me to be stealthy, aggressively combative, or a maniac who possesses everything in sight to avoid ever engaging in confrontation.
However, I insist, the magic lies in Dunwall itself. Having the opportunity to see how the city transforms based on our choices, leading us to discover new gameplay routes and narratives for each important point in the campaign, makes every playthrough truly unique, because there will always be a change.
If I were to list all the things I’ve done to beat the game in entirely new ways, I’d never finish, which I think is enough to understand just how deep and replayable Dishonored на самом деле.
1 The Elder Scrolls V: Скайрим
A Medieval Life Change
In any case, based on my overall experience with the PlayStation 3, I don’t think there’s a title with the same level of replayability as Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
It’s no coincidence that it’s the single-player game I’ve sunk the most hours into, to the point where loading screens became endless due to the size of my save files, as it’s the game with the most engaging content on the entire platform.
With its complex and extensive skill tree system that allows you to create pure archetypes like mage or thief, but also fused ones like illusion archer or elemental warrior, coupled with its massive size and countless characters, quests, secrets, enemies, dungeons, and more, it’s impossible to see everything in a single playthrough and in less than 300 hours.
Whenever I’m asked which game I’d choose if I could only play one for the rest of my life, I always pick a multiplayer game because I’m not crazy, but Skyrim is the second permanent option that will always be there for me to answer these hypothetical questions.
In fact, I think a big part of why this generation is my favorite is thanks to this title. It was the reason I started joining online forums and writing about video games, so there’s little more I can say to attest to what an unforgettable and captivating experience it is.
