Let’s be honest, this is totally a Zelda-inspired game. It’s an RPG puzzler with a lost boy as the lead, with dungeons and monsters to beat back.Ĭollect items, learn special attacks and spells, and upgrade to reach new levels.

Grandia, one of the best looking RPGs of all time, kickstarts this list of the best PS1 games of all time!įor starters, any game that has over 80 hours of gameplay under it’s belt is a winner with me. So many games are over too quickly, but Grandia gives real value for money, especially if you’re picking up a sealed copy from the internet!Ĭhampioning the skill development of characters and a superb magic system, this game is a credit to the genre. Not only that, but there’s a healthy amount of standard and turn based battles in this game so nothing ever feels samey or stale.īut what is Grandia all about? Well, players follow a dude called Justin. Like all kids, he wants to be an adventurer, and after chancing on a clue as to how an ancient presence vanished, he sets out on an epic quest.

The graphics in this game make it one of the best on the console, and the battle system is intuitive while giving lots of freedom for the player to attack in their own style.
