Greetings to all gamers of this nice community, today I want to share with you what are my favorite games of all the PS2 generation considering that I had this console from 2006 to 2014 with very few responsibilities and many free hours to play my titles, I remember having a big drawer full of games, anyway, without further ado let's go with the top and a brief description of why I think they are the best games of this console.
This top includes sequels of sagas in all their aspects, you can call it fanservice nostalgia or whatever you like, but for me these games were really good so much that I could still play them again rather than dedicate hours to a new game.
ONIMUSHA 3
This is a Hack and Slash game with RPG progression oriented in feudal Japan, this video game was released April 27th 2004 developed by Capcom and distributed by Ubisoft together with Capcom, this game was really innovative in a lot of aspects because hack and slash games until now didn't have very deep mechanics, this was an ambitious game for the time winning awards even for its cinematics and staging, onimusha 3 is a continuation of the story of the first onimusha where our protagonist was fighting with an invader of the throne which had kidnapped the princess of the kingdom but for some reason a portal opened during the fight sending the protagonist from the year 1500 to the year 2004 in France.

Disoriented and unable to speak French our protagonist makes his way through the intricate problems of the future and the enemies that want to take him down.
GOD OF WAR 2
It is the continuation of the history of Kratos a Greek warrior that when being about to die he asks the gods to give him the power to finish with his enemies, being Ares the god of the war who grants him the powers placing in his arms some chains that tie him to the swords of the chaos weapons forged in the Olympus and of which he cannot free himself, In this second installment Kratos tired of receiving orders from the gods is revealed, as they had promised to release him from the curse that was imposed on him, having to repeat the death of his daughter and wife in his dreams.

The goddess Athena to see that Kratos is angry takes away his powers, is when Kratos must rise again, this time with the help of the titanic giant beings who attacked Olympus many years ago and were locked up by Zeus, in this way Kratos seeks revenge on all Olympus for betraying him.
FINAL FANTASY X

This is not my favorite Final Fantasy or much less but for this console did not come out many, despite this this was a great game, with a well told story, it's about Tidus a professional player of "Blitzbol" a sport of the future in which you play inside a sphere of water with a ball, the goal is to score a goal in the opponent's goal, Tidus meets Auron, someone he knows because he was a friend of his father's, who helps him to get out of the city, but Tidus is swallowed by the hole and transferred to the future where machines are frowned upon because they killed humanity years ago.
Tidus must venture into this past to try to return to his time while meeting people who will help him improve and understand his past, as well as learn about the exploits of his father who treated him badly during his childhood.
This game comes with a lot of traditional JRPG content, but with animations that made it look amazing.
RESIDEN EVIL 4
After playing all the previous installments on the ps1 I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play a new Residen Evil but something changed from the tanky control mechanics and fixed camera to a third person shoulder camera making it feel more personal when the zombies attacked us, This is a mission that Lion Kennedy, a former member of the Ricon City police force, was tasked with. This time it was an extremely important mission, the President of the United States, Lion's friends asked him to help find their daughter who had been kidnapped by an extremist group from Spain.

The city seemed to be full of peasants in the town where Leon visited but it turned out that the people were contaminated with a new strain of T-virus called the PLAGAS. These control the user while alive causing discomfort until a huge parasite lodge in the brain and kills the host taking total control of the body.
Leon must find and get the president's daughter out of Spain and additionally detect where this new virus is coming from.
METAL GEAR SOLID 3
Metal Gear Solid 3 is not a direct sequel to its second installment Metal Gear Solid 2 song of the Liberty In this one they relate the past of Big Boss, with the key code of Naked Snake father of Solid Snake protagonist of the previous installment, it is a mission to recover the legacy of the philosophers a database that has a huge amount of economic resources, that were kept by a group of powerful people who intend to manipulate the system to shape it in their own way, the legacy of the philosophers is in the hands of Volger a military armed to the teeth, along with a group of mercenaries with special skills, Snake (Big Boss) must recover the legacy of the philosophers and take it back to the United States.
