While the franchises may have been forgotten by time, one can hope that with a bit of patience and good luck – these three may see a new title some day.
Tired of grinding through dungeons non-stop? Want to take a break for once in your life? No worries. Check out the best PS2 action RPGs.
Didn't expect to see Drakengard in a list like this, considering the awful gameplay. Still, it's the best terrible game I've ever played. 10/10 would recommend
Would love to see a remake one day, but only if they don't censor the fucked up story and characters. That and a Drakengard 3 remake, of course.
Drakengard made it onto the list mainly because Nier gave it a cult following later on. Honestly, it wouldn't have made the cut for any ACTION RPG list on its own. The characters are cool, the story is mess up in a good way, the lore is confusing and great, but the gameplay alone kill any chance of it being a recomended ACTION RPG.
Would love a remake of the series with updated gameplay. Drakengard 3 with Automata's hack and slash would be gold.
Some absolute gems on this list. Wholeheartedly agree with Rogue Galaxy, Dark Cloud 2, Radiata Stories, Odin Sphere, and Devil Summoner 2.
Some others, I can't comment on because I've never played or I didn't feel particularly strongly about them.
But hot take: I don't think Kingdom Hearts II really survives the test of time.
I cannot recommend Rogue Galaxy enough. It is on PSN+ as part of the subscription, so definitely check it out.
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
A trip down the nostalgia lane, or a historical journey the games that gave birth to the hack and slash genre. Here are the best ones.

turok, like the ones on n64.
shadowman series
manhunt series
nightmare creatures series
crash bandicoot series
drakan the ancient gates series
soul reaver series
timesplitters series
Bushido blade had a spiritual successor wich didnt sell , so i doubt its on the horizon .
ANd there will be a Dark could 3 someday i bet , Lvl 5 just like trying new ips , through various degrees of success (or unsuccess) . i'd rather have Rogue Galaxy 2
Chrono series. Shadow of Destiny. Summoner. Drakan. Tomba. Road Rage.
So basically Eastern games. Would have liked some variation in the list. I don't know why Dark Cloud hasn't seen a new game yet. It was a pretty popular series.
I know it kind of has but the original idea for Spore.
The idea was so good but the execution was severely lacking, I am of course aware of Darkspore but that didn't have the same main concept behind it, I feel that with a team that actually knows what they are doing it could really flourish well!
