Ranking Every PlayStation Classic Game From Worst To Best
12. Syphon Filter
A third-person shooter with stealth action and a scientific conspiracy that spawned a successful franchise? No, it's not Dino Crisis. Like a few of the games on this list, Syphon Filter makes you realise what the PlayStation Classic is missing as much as what it has.
Not that this should be held against it too harshly, of course. Syphon Filter can't be anything other than Syphon Filter. Fans could sit all day and pick out various titles here and replace them with their favourites, but Syphon Filter has definitely earned its place. The plot is more immersive than many games of its time, and the creative gameplay applied a great blend of stealth and action exploration.
The story focusses on a series of missions aimed at stopping biological terrorist Erich Rhoemer. The jet-setting story with complex twists is vintage '90s, and could easily fit in the likes of The X-Files, Mission: Impossible or Pierce Brosnan's over-the-top James Bond movies. Whether players are completing this game all over again or diving in for the first time, Syphon Filter is not one to be missed.
