The best action rpg games for ps3

Are they always about playing multiple roles. Well, all of the games below are bona fide RPG titles, and they all bring something unique to the table. From battling goblins to returning the moon to the sky, this list of the best PS3 RPG games of all time could well be the most thought out compendium ever made…. Welcome to the wonderful world of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Five regions, four races, three classes, and one epic fantasy adventure. Play as a human or elf from one of four different races as you explore the once peaceful world of Amalur.

Players control a warrior called the Fateless One. After being awoken by a gnome, you must escape a terrible battle, only to discover that you are the one person alive to have cheated fate. Use all manor of weapons from spells to close-range hackers. Equip different armour, collect loot, and lose yourself in a vast world filled with luscious textures and hidden secrets. Obviously, upping a skill tree plays a big part in the gameplay too.

Never mind…. As always, nothing is as it seems in an FF game. Yeah I know it sounds weird… and it is. So Lightning, aka Kerry, jumps into action in turn based battles on battlefields that only the FF universe could produce. Users just control the one character, with the computer taking the other duties on board. Stack commands and pull off epic chain combos in order to take ferocious enemies twice your size down. Work as a team, cast some epic spells, watch for those hit points, and try not to die.

Few games have won as many awards as Dragon Age: Origins. Well, for starters, everyone loves a Dragon. Game of Thrones has proven it, and so has the Hobbit. Each character brings a different skill or ability to the table. Add nine characters to your party and sit back as they all gain points from battles, even though you can only take four into the fight. Choose from three different classes and discover special skills such as shape shifting or being good with herbs… not the type you put in pasta dishes, however.

Resonance of Fate takes the 12th spot on our list of the best PS3 RPG games of all time, an exciting title that sees humanity moving to a machine city.

The earth as we know it is a toxic mess, so everyone moves to Basel. Charge up attacks and pull them off at the exact right moment to deal the most damage.

Collect bezels to pull off Hero attacks as you take down enemies through this bleak and dreary, yet incredibly interesting, mechanical city. An old demon has been awakened, and now a terrible mist is causing monsters to appear left, right, and centre, causing havoc and stopping people from enjoying their cornflakes in peace.

Like Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, gamers chose from different classes of fighters as they move through levels destroying anything that looks remotely undead. Collect souls and trade them for pretty much everything. The gameplay, exploring two different worlds with two very different characters, was expertly crafted. But for whatever reason, gamers pretty much ignored Folklore.

Sony considered a sequel but refused to officially greenlight it. Game Republic went on to develop the similarly underrated Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom but was forced to shut down soon after. This is also one of the few games of the last generation to have a substantial difference between the PS3 and Xbox versions. Other than that, the games play identically. The gameplay is classic 2D platforming, but you play as a puppet who has his head cut off at the beginning of the game, so you go around collecting different heads you can hold up to three at a time to gain new abilities and make your way through stages, each of which is presented as a play.

With its quirky gameplay, Puppeteer never stood a chance of getting mainstream attention, and even Sony seems to have completely forgotten about the title. The Motorstorm series served Sony well during the PS3 era, but Apocalypse might have changed the tried and true formula a bit too much.

Apocalypse changed the setting from deserts and forests to a beautifully dilapidated urban area and added tons of new vehicles, including supercars and choppers.

Despite its impressive graphics and a simple but fun story mode, Apocalypse was true to its name and signaled the end of the franchise so far at least.

But it would be hard to complain about a new game in 4K or even a remaster. Heavenly Sword could have become an all-time classic but was held back by a few hiccups. The voice acting, featuring the inimitable Andy Serkis, is a high point and the combat is an absolute pleasure.

Ten years on, the game still looks fantastic. But some annoying boss fights, poor puzzles, and a short runtime keep Heavenly Sword from being too fondly remembered. At one point, a trilogy of games was planned, but that never came to fruition, and even if the series were to continue, it would probably be with a new developer at the helm. We complain about dumb shooters with cliche stories like Call of Duty , but that series continues to sell millions.

This is the type of game that will likely always remain underrated and underplayed while those who track it down will be well rewarded with an emotional, unforgettable experience. The racing was solid and there was a ton of online content before Sony pulled the plug on the servers. Unfortunately, ModNation Racers never seemed to find an audience.

Sadly, neither Sony nor Nintendo have explored the customizable karting concept any further since then. Depending on who you talk to, Deadly Premonition is one of the worst games ever made or one of the best. The characters are great, though. Gameplay is a mix of poorly designed open-world exploration, but also decent survival horror action. Plans were in place for an MMO follow-up, but by May of , 38 Studios had defaulted on its loan repayments and filed for bankruptcy.

What if Nintendo never took The Legend of Zelda into 3D with the Ocarina of Time engine and instead kept building on the original 2D gameplay in new and interesting ways? While the environments feature unique 3D voxel graphics, this is old school 2D Zelda through and through, right down to the massive sword your player-created character swings when at full health.

The game is pretty much perfect as it is. If Enslaved were to be released now, it would be hyped to hell and back based solely on its pedigree. Developed by Ninja Theory, written by Ex Machina director Alex Garland, and starring the supremely talented Andy Serkis, everything about the game screams quality. Nearly a decade on, it still holds up as an amazing game.
