Not picking Shadow of the Colossus or Devil May Cry 3 or God of War for 2005 is a straight up crime

The first God of war came out of nowhere, it was so epic. I instantly was a fan. 😁

I'm glad someone finally recognizes Sly's existence. Edit: Thanks for all the likes!

The PS2 still has the best library of games. There was something for every type of gamer. 😊

So glad to see FF9 get some recognition. Truly a great game I can still replay today

Uncharted 2 really blew me away . At the time I didn't know what to expect when I bought it

Very surprised to see Final Fantasy X not make the list although it’s nice to see MGS2 getting some recognition on this list

God of war 3 is one of my favorite games for so many reasons. Definitely lived up to the hype!

Having owned a PS1 since childhood, I grew up on these games and remember them fondly. Love my PS games!

What i like about Tekken 5 was the Prologue's from the story and the voice actor who lend his voice in it.

I love uncharted 2

Kratos: “Tell me, do you bleed?” Sephiroth: “You will not be the next.”

Final Fantasy 9 was truly a Masterpiece, not Final Fantasy 7 Level but a Great RPG to end The Playstation's Era.

Great list. Now do Top 22 BEST Nintendo games of each year. (2000 - 2021)

Man, the Jacksepticeye reference surprised me! Also, Ghost of Tsushima is the best game I've ever played.

I'm so glad I played Journey, such a beautiful game and the music was soothing.

2002: ‘Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.’ My 2nd most favorite GTA video game.

"Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy" and "Spyro Reignited Trilogy" are the best PlayStation remaster videogames of two classic as they are my favorites.

Was not expecting to see Blood and Truth but am happy it made the list. That game was fantastic.

I was hoping you’d put this list together. Next you must do Best Nintendo Games of every year!

Wild Arms 2 definitely needs more attention, so underrated

Good call on Journey. Felt like a spiritual experience.

Ahh I miss the good ole days when The PS3 had a diverse exclusive lineup🥲

I like playing Final Fantasy IX on my PlayStation 1.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games of all time! The combat is really fun, especially with all the different strategies to take out your enemies. And that last duel tho 😢

Its incredible just how far games have come in 22 years. How did time just fly by? Only feels like yesterday i was sitting at my friends house playing new games like Devil May Cry 1 and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 on PS2? For 2005, Resident Evil 4 should be on the list. It was one of the most celebrated games of that year.

PlayStation Consoles have so many fantastic titles!

I love Sly but I loved Sly 2. Great pick.

I just love that FFIX got some recognition.

Sly Cooper is my favorite PlayStation Exclusive Character and my favorite games in the franchise is Band of Thieves and Thieves in Time.

I still play Journey. And I still love every minute.

The last God of war has almost 4 years! Man time flies

I'd personally take Jak and Daxter 2 over Going Commando.. but just classics! PS2 had amazing games at its time

Snake eater..... my favorite game of all time.... I miss it

It's a felony in 7 countries to not list Shadow of the Colossus for 2005.

2020 was such an exceptional year for PS. Sure we had Ghost of Tsushima and Last of Us Part 2 as headliners but Final Fantasy 7 Remake was just as good. We also had the launch of the PS5 with Miles Morales, Sackboy, Astro and more. What a year.

FF 9 is such a great game. Really underrated. ❤

Kingdom Hearts: “Hey! What about me?”

Wasn’t kingdom hearts exclusive to PlayStation with the mainline games? I feel like that should have been in there.

Can you do Top 22 Best Nintendo Games of Each Year (2000 - 2021)?

2000: Spyro: Year of the Dragon 2001: Devil May Cry 2002: Kingdom Hearts 2003: Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne 2004: Sly 2: Band of Thieves 2005: Kindgom Hearts II (one of the best years in gaming with Sly 3, Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 3) 2006: Scarface: The World is Yours 2007: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2008: Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon 2009: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 2010: Heavy Rain 2011: Batman: Arkham City 2012: Resident Evil 6 2013: The Last of Us 2014: The Wolf Among Us 2015: Witcher 3: Wild Hunt 2016: Uncharted 4: Thief's End 2017: Middle-Earth: Shadow of War 2018: Red Dead Redemption 2 2019: Devil May Cry V 2020: Hades 2021: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

Honestly at least 1 Gran Turismo game should be there

Do you have an Xbox List too? I think this is a great idea instead of one large al time list

Man this is actually a great list, I ain't never realized how many PlayStation games that I played and beat

I definitely agree with Watchmojo on Ratchet and clank rift apart, it was definitely worth $70 for the ps5 💯😎🙏😭

The fact that God Of War was mentioned three times during this countdown proves how intrinsic the series is to PlayStation, much like how Mario is intrinsic to Nintendo. Also, I'm glad Persona 5 was picked over Horizon Zero Dawn. All due respect to Horizon Zero Dawn, but when I first played Persona 5 back in 2017, it was the best turn-based JRPG that I had played in the past 15 years.

Returnal should be the game for 2021, absolutely fantastic gameplay and a story that gets better the deeper you dive into it.

I'm so happy to see you rate Ghost of Tsushima over TLOU2 for 2020. It was unlike most games and very refreshing as well as entertaining. My pick for Game of the year. Was sad to see last of us win :(

I love resistance series ..I recently finished resistance burning skies on ps vita 😍🥰

After ages I went back to ghost of tsushima and I'm loving it all over again as I didnt bother with all the side quests.... the background music and sounds when walking around or on the horse just sucks you in

Kya and The Dark Lineage. A Highly Underrated Playstation 2 Classic.

Thank you for choosing GOT over tlou2

Yay Final Fantasy 9! My fave one, go Vivi!

If anyone has the playstation plus premium membership you can get sly cooper trilogy and partners in time on the ps5 in the classic games. I've got both sly cooper games on my ps5.

I love uncharted 4 but unfortunately it's not a playstation exclusive anymore

No way does Resistance 2 end up as a better title over Metal Gear Solid 4 in 2008

2000) Spider-Man 2001) Jak and Daxter 2002) Ratchet and Clank 2003) Jak 2 2004) Metal Gear Solid 3 2005) Sly 3 2006) Resistance: Fall of Man 2007) Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction 2008) Metal Gear Solid 4 2009) Uncharted 2 2010) ModNation Racers 2011) Infamous 2 2012) Uncharted: Golden Abyss 2013) The Last of Us 2014) Infamous: Second Son 2015) None 2016) Uncharted 4 2017) Horizon: Zero Dawn 2018) Marvel’s Spider-Man 2019) None 2020) Ghost of Tsushima 2021) Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

I was so hoping to see some love for ape escape 2 or 3.

Soon Im gonna play these games. Im a Playstation fan just like all of you.

resistance 2 over mgs4??

Being born in 85 the first console i remember is the Nes and the SNES is where I really fell for videogames so Nintendo is irreplaceable to the point where it's hard to even rank the company cuz through my whole life and still to this day they continue to give me experiences i can't get anywhere else..i remember in 95 and the first half of 96 i wanted a Ultra 64 more than anything..in the game mags they had these puzzle contest where u send it in for a chance to win a entertainment system with the new "Ultra 64" and being pretty poor at the time I figured it was my best way o get it so I kept sending em in until i played my best friends Playstation that is and it didn't take long at all before i damn near completely forgot about the 64..thank the gaming gods that Nintendo stood Sony up cuz as much as i love Nintendo the PS2 and PS1 remain my all time favorite consoles with the SNES in 3rd place...there was just so many damn amazing games including what remains my all time favorite game after almost 25 yrs: Final Fantasy VII of course...lastly I understand u probably don't want to put Metal Gear on here too much but No Way Resistance 2 is better than MGS4...it's my least favorite Resistance game though i still like it but it's not even close to MGS4... Insomniac only letting u carry two weapons at a time still irritates me..shooters should never do that

1:09 The Legend of Dragoon. Yes.

Love the sly entry. Super slept on franchise these days

Thought kingdom hearts would at least get a shout out

Can you do top 10 episodes of Season 1 of the Sonic Boom TV show?

MGS4 Guns of the Patriots for 2008 for me and Love seeing Ghost of Tsushima instead of TLOUP2

12 and 13 year old me hated sly and ratchet but rest of list is great

love All these games

Oh man I remember playing metal gear solid 2. There is a part that I thought the game is broken or the tv or the PS2 it self, I was so worried then I realize it's all part of the game. Damn that was some good prank

I love infamous second son

I knew god of war games would be on this list but I didn't know how many they would take

Fun fact. Yesterday was sly coopers 20th anniversary 🎉 cheers 🍻

Finally a list that puts ghost of Tsushima over last of us 2 👍 as it should be

I think what sets Persona 5 apart is the music and the confidant system.

"Stealth missions that drag down" -> Me who literally was a stealth player: I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS SLANDER!!

Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Arno_Stark Iron Man?

Not seeing Resident Evil 2 for 2019 hurts me, unless it's cause it wasn't an exclusive, but surely that could have been overlooked

Chrono cross would be best of 99

2008 - Metal Gear Solid 4 or Motorstorm Pacific Rift, but not Resistance 2

Persona 5 Royal is my Favorite JRPG and it’s in my Top 5 VideoGames of All Time

Tekken 5 over Shadow of the Colossus? I'm... I'm sorry. That just does not compute.

Hol up....where's SOTC??? That was the first game that I played that really made me stay to consider games to be art.

I certainly enjoyed Last of Us when it first came out. Also, the remastered edition is just as decent. 2013 was a tough year as GTA5 was released and also was just as fun.

A PSVR game over Death Stranding? Yup. We're on Dipshitmojo alright.

Final fantasy IX hell yeah!!!!!

FFVII Remake wasn't on the list? Thats surprising considering the attention it garnered during release

Can you do this list with Xbox games and Nintendo games?

I Really think red dead redemption two should be on this list😮

Yes or no I have or haven't played any of these classics on the PS3 or on the PS4 or on my switch and like and my favorite is 2003 Ratchet & Clank Going Commando and 2007 God Of War 2 and 2009 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and 2010 God Of War 3 and 2011 Little Big Planet 2 and 2013 The Last Of Us and 2014 InFamous Second Son and 2015 Bloodborne and 2016 Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and 2018 God Of War and 2020 Ghost of Tsushima and 2021 Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart

What about rise of honor it’s was also a great ps2 game also jet did the fighting choreography for the game

There's a lot of games here I haven't even heard about

Not even a mention of Demon's Souls? For both 2009 & the remake in 2020?

I can't believe that any of the Dynasty Warriors didn't make the list

For me, 2014 goes to Driveclub, it may have had a rocky launch but the game itself was beautiful and fun to play, it got a lot better until Sony shut Evolution Studios

finally watchmojo puts out a video that i 100% agree with!!!
