What are your favourite PSP games?

2026-07-23 06:37 UTC

My wife just surprised me with a new PSP battery after listening to me moan about not having one ever since reading PerfectDark’s most recent PSP article. After messing around with broken USB cables and jumping through hoops to un-spoof my old prome-2 firmware version for too long last night, I finally got ARK4 running and had a blast playing Wipeout Pure. My favourite PSP game back in the day was probably Monster Hunter Freedom Unite… so many late nights spent playing that with friends in my freezing flat. There was something special about LAN parties with handheld games. I remember putting serious hours into Peace Walker and Dissidia too. Now I want some game recommendations… tell me which games you loved on the PSP! I might even have a look around for some UMDs!

    Yeah, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite was probably also the game I spent most time on my PSP. It depends in what games you Mike, but I loved Persona 3 Portable and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. If you liked Monster Hunter, you could also try God Eater. It is a really gold Monster Hunter Like with a good story!

    The only game I remember was the FF7 one. I’m such a nerd for the story, I can’t even remember if it was good or not. I do remember that by the end I was so OP that the game had to force the ending cut scene of the main character being all beat up, even though I was still full health, or near enough.

    Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters. Played through that sucker more times than I care to admit to.

    I’ll probably get some hate from the pure JRPG community for this comment (and I don’t disagree either)… I loved Lunar: Silver Star Harmony when it came out. I didn’t play the originals, I’d just moved to the states and was living on a couch at my mom’s place and honestly things weren’t great for me… but I did bring my PSP with me and picked up Lunar. I fell in love with that game, the music, anime cutscenes and I also really liked the art style (the comment that will piss off a lot of ppl) because I didn’t have the nostalgia. I was able to put my headphones on and escape for a bit! I recently got the Lunar Remastered Collection on Steam and it didn’t hit the same way as it did on the PSP. That game got me through some tough times! Oh and GTA: Chinatown Wars is phenomenal!

    Well, there’s no competition. It’s Danganronpa. Oh and the Parodius collection is also great.

    I got a PSP exclusively to play Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. Would not recommend lol

  • All the usual suspects are already mentioned, but I have to shout out one of the most unique and addictive strategy games I have ever played, What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord?

    Brave Story is a great RPG that doesn’t overstay it’s welcome and that I’ve enjoyed a lot. The enemy design was what really got me into it at the time, but the fun story and quality of life features kept me going

    Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilmaniis a really good rogue like, that actually plays like rouge (the original game), but has a lot of nice gameplay additions, a crazy anime story, permanent upgrades and enough depth to stay interesting

    I’m not going to lie even when it was brand new I thought the PSP’s graphics were lame for 3D games and never wanted one. But it might have been the prevalent art style.

    No one ever talks about it, but Ratatouille game on psp was really fun, seemed superior to the home console versions in terms of fun
