give me your absolute top tier ps1 single player games, games that are a delight even today, that have aged well and that feel refined and polished even some 20 years later.

no jRPGs though, as much as I want to like the ps1 era jrpgs they all shit the bed equally almost.

Pic related is pretty good stuff, 3d worms-like, plus you can permanently lose your dudes and the difficulty gets ramped up as you progress. Framerate is kinda odd but everything else is top notch.
>>
Was a good game. Sadly I was only 7-8 years old when I played it so I got stuck and didn't finish the game.
>>
Einhander - Amazing shooter

Front Mission 3 - Tactics mech game

Ridge Racer Type 4 - Even though it's old it still has great game play and a good story mode.

Wipeout XL (2097)

Klonoa

crash(1-3)
syphon filter(1-3)
mgs(try rankings on expert, not killing anybody on map, stealth way)
spyro 2, Medievil1&2 (if you mind the low difficulty- don't. it's teenager difficulty)
Space police 1
Twisted metal 2(campaign)

That's all I think. I played most of survival horrors on psx, but wouldn't place them in top tier. Out of those, Fear effect 1/2 seemed the most polished one. Try it out if you wish.

>ps1 era jrpgs they all shit the bed equally almost.
What do you mean by that?
>>
>>4090620
Also I agree with hogs of war. Remember one mission is bugged and cant get medal that is visible.

The unholy war is also quite, if not more, hidden gem, like hogs. Try campaign on hard difficulty, very engaging.
>>
>>4090482
Plus Rik Mayall did the voices.

Didn't play it back in the day for obvious reasons but I've enjoyed LSD recently. Tekken 3 is still good fun too.
>>
>>4090620
>>4090620
fear effect is extremely unpolished and VERY trial and error at times, in a bad way too.

RE1/3 aged like fine wine both visually (on real crt tv) and mechanically. its tight and responsive in terms of controls, plus no bugs at all.
>>
Nightmare Creatures, if mainly for the soundtrack, is still enjoyable.
>>
>>4090679
I said out of survival horrors on PSX. Didn't say anything about Fear effect being great.

>RE1/3 aged like fine wine both visually
especially RE1 with it's blood effects(looks like jelly), and blocky characters almost looking like virtua fighter blocks. Voices are crap.

They both have poor replayability, you don't want to return to these games after 15 years. Becouse you'll end up knowing where the ammo is, having no challenge at all, and running mundane courses though halls. It also hurts that you know, that Nemesis fights can be avoided, all except one, so it's no longer scary.

In what ways fear effect is extremely unpolished? It has legitimate voice acting, good controls, and very good visuals for PSX game.
>>
>>4090620
So you put Medievill as well as Spyro in top tier, but you shrug aside all of the Resident Evil trilogy as well as Castlevania SoTN?

Fear Effect 1 is okay and 2 is garbage.

Also,
Ape Escape
Castlevania Chronicles
Ghost in the Shell
Syphon Filter trilogy
Doom/Final Doom
Medal of Honor

Yes, I put Medievil and Spyro far above Resident evil. Even though I have played resident evil a lot and it was my favourite game when I was a teen, can't say objectively that it was top.

Don't know about toy story, but Hercules was one notch above Tarzan. Still they can't compete with abe's odysee.

How about no? Dissapearing enemies bug, obscurity, bad dialogues.Also, some levels are badly designed. Great game, but not top notch like op wants.

Can't say anything about the shmups and Ghost in the shell you have listed, but others seem top, especially ape escape, moh and syphon filter.

What's the point of this board? OP presented true gem, and people post 7/10 stuff, just becouse nostalgia.
>>
>>4092661
What's wrong with medieval stages
>>
I present a cheesy underrated gem with an equally cheesy title - CT forces (has a sequel too).

Basically slow-paced Metal Slug clone. It's therefore a bit more methodical , especially in coop. Has a bit more gameplay variety than Metal Slug too, since there are various mini-game kind of levels like parachuting.

All behave like first stage: very flat, very easy obstacles, very poor, bland design.

Dino, egyptian, maybe arabian stages were good, rest were pretty bland or gimmick stages. I mean, I liked it as a kid, but come on. Are they really that fun? Crash 2 had the best ballance of good looking with mechanically proper. Some Crash 1 stages were too ugly.

Frying somebody with taser is a 11/10 experience.

Picrel is even better with 2 players coop, playing missions and doing objectives together. Salvage points are kind of annoying, and change of look of cars for more futuro with upgrades is kind of cheesy.(flying trash master lol).

Threads of fate was quite entertaining, specially Mint's route.
Also had a great time with Tomba. I started 2 but it didn't get my attention.
Vagrant Story
I have Galerians and Parasite eve ready, should I give them a try?
>>
>>4092878
Parasite Eve, yes. OP here, it's exactly what I described originally, you will enjoy it a lot. A lot of nice little touches in that game, sequel too.
>>
>>4092879
Why is Parasite Eve good? I wouldn't place it on the same tier as holy Hogs of War.

>>4092927
Its far more polished and higher quality overall than HOW.

>NPCs have new lines of dialogues every time something important happens
>free-roam around the city and (some) exploration
>interesting weapon fusing system and variety of weapons themselves
>simple story that doesn't make itself too complex or too convoluted
>awesome OST

Game simply has a bunch of these little parts where you will go "huh I wonder if i can try to do this and if it will work/something will be there/if it will make a difference in something, and it typically does.

The only flaw is that visually its a bit outdated, and was even then. Backgrounds are not nearly as detailed as RE2/3 or Dino Crisis 2. It's pretty much RE1 visual level, although far more colorful.
>>
>>4092739
I would start with the second game though.
>>
>>4092932
>Its far more polished and higher quality overall than HOW.
So is Gears of War or call of duty. That doesn't make it a better game.

>>NPCs have new lines of dialogues every time something important happens
Ummm. Cool, I guess?
>some exploration
Every game aside from sport games ever.
>interesting weapon fusing system and variety of weapons themselves
I agree. But it's about quality, not quanity.
>simple story that doesn't make itself too complex or too convoluted
I agree. So does Spyro.
>awesome OST
I agree, nice.
>>
>>4092936
Well that is nice until you compare it to HoW. And I love HoW so don't get triggered here:

>clunky movement, very hard to make precise one or two steps
>no variation in character models
>no variation in OST, very bland and few tracks
>no variety in multiplayer modes

It's a fun game but it's first and foremost a multiplayer title and as such its forgiven a whole lot more.
>>
>>4092942
>clunky movement, very hard to make precise one or two steps
You can still play very well.
>no variation in character models
I don't care. The races vary enough, as in Helmet types.
>no variation in OST, very bland and few tracks
do not care
>no variety in multiplayer modes
Thread is about single player.


>It's a fun game but it's first and foremost a multiplayer title and as such its forgiven a whole lot more.
Still a better single player game than Parasite Eve, for that few hours of fun it gave.

None of the games I posted are shitty, anything that makes it 7/10 to you is just your own obscure preferences.

Trying to give some stuff here no one else has said yet.
Intelligent Qube
Andventure of Lomax
Megaman 8
Blasto
Legacy of Kain
Soul Reaver
LSD: Dream Emulator

Also as someone who loves third/fourth gen jrpgs I actually agree with you, a lot of ps1 jrpgs are pretty shit. Still, there are some real classics there, not everything is bad anon.
Breath of Fire III
Breath of FIre IV
Suikoden
Suikoden 2
Saga Frontier
Saga Frontier 2
Dragon Quest VII

All fucking fantastic jrpgs that I at least liked enough to complete, check these out anon.

>classic RE games have no replayability? they are some of the comfiest PS1 games dude.
Being "comfy" and having replayability aren't the same thing.
"Comfy" might make you want to return to the game because you like playing the game multiple times, but that's subjective.
Replayability, in strict terms, is not subjective, is very dependent on what the game offers to the players once they beaten it once.

In RE case:
If i replay it, does the game offer different approaches/routes to the same situations? No.
Does it offer different situations, or altered ones? No.
Is the atmosphere given by not knowing how things will evolve part of the gameplay so that knowing things prior will in fact take a lot away from said atmosphere? Yes
By knowing things prior, can I skip parts of the game and/or fights taking away a huge amount of the thrill given by the first play though? Yes.
Is the game still scary by knowing what will happen and when will happen? No.
RE has no replayability, the only choice you have once you replay it is to skim through it knowing things you can avoid and knowing exactly where to go for the things you need(you can't magically pretend you don't know things and go the wrong ways on purpose just cause), the exploration portion is gone, the scare factor is gone, the pure thrill of not knowing how to deal with what you have and trying to find a solution while anything unknown could jump out of nowhere is gone.

It might be "comfy" for you, and if it is, it is because YOU like replaying the same game with the knowledge you have, altering the experience(in a bad way), not because it has replayability.
