Sony has added a handful of beloved PS2 games to its PlayStation Plus Classic Games Catalog such as those from the Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter franchises.
The first game especially was so ahead of its time. You could explore the entire overworld without any loading screens while running at a smooth 60FPS.
Having played the first game a little late, I rushed off to spend my savings on the sequel as soon as it came out. I was not ready for the dark turn it took. It was like someone had snuck GTA 3 into a kids game without any one noticing, going from a cute but kind of dirty kids game to a dark city with cars and guns where you could run over people and get into a fight with the cops.
Jak and Daxter was incredible. Still holds up to today, too.

That blew my mind at the time. I replay it every few years and it still brings so much joy. If only they still made games like that!
Jak 2 fucked my 13 year old brain up.

Fine, I’ll play them.
