20 Cult-Classics Trapped On Old Consoles

13. Folklore

Seen as an underrated gem on the PlayStation 3, Folklore is an action role-playing game set in the mystical land of Ireland (yes, you read that correctly). You get to play as two different characters, Ellen or Keats, who have their own unique stories that eventually intertwine. 

Developed by Games Republic, Folklore is the love child of Kouji Okada (known for producing the Shin Megami Tensei series) and Yoshiki Okamoto (known for producing Final Fight and Street Fighter 2) and has been trapped on the PlayStation 3 ever since its release in 2007 and with the game slowly becoming more sought after, the price of the physical game is only going to rise to match the demand. 

Due to low sales, the game never saw a sequel, even though Games Republic originally imagined this as the start of a trilogy. So who knows, maybe a remaster or just bringing this game back to online storefronts will spark the interest of gamers enough to get this trilogy finally finished.

Hey, I’m Matt. I work full-time at WhatCulture's neighbours, MyVoucherCodes. I first joined MyVoucherCodes as a Deals Expert, scouring the internet, leaving no stone unturned in finding the best discount codes, sales and offers for our customers. Moving into my first home during the worst possible time (during lockdown), I understand the necessity of saving money when the purse strings are tight. Outside of saving money, I’m into video games, movies, books and music. I host and edit a video game podcast called The Retry Hard Podcast, where my friend and I go through news, reviews and video games in general. I love movies and watching how they’re made, and I’ve worked as a set decorator for a few months on His Dark Materials season 3, which gave me a massive insight into how it all comes together. I also put out music as a solo artist named Matt Kiano, where I won the award for Best Male Artist of 2025 for Radio Wigwam and have been nomiated for Best Live Act at the 2026 Radio Wigwam Awards.
