One of the best RPGs on the PS2, aside from Rogue Galaxy and Dragon Quest VIII, is undoubtedly Dark Cloud 2. That is objectively true. This should excite PS4 owners who might have missed out on this Action-RPG gem back in the day because the game will be releasing as a PS2 classic on January 19th!
Dark Cloud 2 is the sequel to an already pretty great ARPG which is also available on PS4 as a PS2 Classic, but ramps things up significantly in a lot of ways. This time around you have two protagonists to play as, the graphics are gorgeously cel-shaded, and you have a ton of weapons to develop and wield. Did I mention there's also golf?!
The coolest part is that you'll frequently travel in time between the present and the future. The game has a building mechanic where you continually build up a settlement. You can then travel to the future and see how the buildings you placed look. It's a pretty cool feature for a PS2 game!
Forget any other game coming out soon, and get this game!
