Skies of Arcadia!! So much of the Dreamcast library is on Steam it's crazy to me they skipped out on this one. Yes I know I can just emulate it but I'd love to see it on Steam haha
Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 as well, as far as I know they've yet to be released from the PS3 prison. I do have some semblance of hope for these ones though seeing as Bandai Namco are pretty good about remasters/rereleases
Mercenaries / 2
So yall don’t just play anything on your steam deck? I have viewtiful Joe on my ps2 emulator And the entire gba library on an sd card
Freelancer. No need for any remastered nonsense, just patched to work on modern systems.
AvP2, same deal.
Id actually like to try the mess of a SimCity game EA put out in 2013, for some reason it's still not on steam.
Are you me?
Freelancer was my jam when it came out and my buds and I used to have massive LAN parties playing AVP, back in the day.
Bloodborne.
Nah, best they can do is Concord.
I've been going fucking wild with emulators lately.
I have Dolphin, Xenia, OpenGOAL, PCSX2 and RPCS3. I have Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes, Sonic '06, all the Ratchet & Clank PS2 games, the Sly Cooper trilogy and Sly 4, all the Jak games, the first two InFamous games, the Tak trilogy, and even more.
I was wanting Sony (or someone) to port at least Sly and Jak to PC, so I got tired of waiting and just got emulators. Old games are super fun.

Same for me on infamous. Come on Sony.
With InFamous, RPCS3 works damn near flawlessly (some games need some tweaking individually to smooth out some kinks, but it's easy to do).
I ran into some issues late-game in the first one where if you attacked a certain enemy with your basic shock attack, it would totally freeze and crash the game, so you need to switch it to the ASMJIT recompiler. Which, if you do that, the game will run almost perfectly aside from minor audio and graphical bugs.
The second one has some framerate issues, but it's entirely playable. I'm on the last mission of my good playthrough now.
Final Fantasy Tactics, ideally the War of the Lions version.
Rumors abound for a remaster of this one, but I'm gonna start thinking it was a casualty of SQEX's recent restructuring if it doesn't surface this year.
Those rumours are a decade old at least. I don't believe stuff like that anymore until its out, lol.
Infamous 1 and 2, I'd love a remake to be honest but I'll take a simple port.
Jet Set Radio Future.
PC or console just give me something!
Have you played Bomb Rush Cyberfunk?
No not yet. It's been on my wishlist since release :/
Go get it RIGHT NOW
Nine a winner. Pay the front line, take the don'ts.
He's comin' out again with a good one. Place your bets now ladies and gentleman.
Soldier of Fortune: Payback. Obviously the best game ever made.
Any sports "video game". I'm sick of the "simulations". I miss games like Blitz the League and The Bigs
Gravity Rush is such a banger I just downloaded the second one on my PS4. I beat the first one on my Vita a while back but I don't really remember how it ends so I might replay that before I start the second one.
Same with me, never played the second one
Crash Nitro Kart. Still stuck in exclusivity hell. Also salty Toys For Bob got canned for no good reasons.
I'm currently scraping the Steam barrel
Steam released 18,825 new games in 2024, beating its previous record of 14,311 last year.
That's a pretty deep barrel. For comparison:
https://www.mobygames.com/platform/playstation-4/
There are 11,274 video games on PlayStation 4. They were released between the years 2013 and 2025.
Yeah, 18k games, but a lot of that is going to be shovelware. Steam has a big issue with shovelware designed to look like a good deal. They’ll release like 25 games, one will be priced at like $100, with the rest priced at like 50¢.
Then they do a publisher bundle, which marks all of those 50¢ games down by like 90%, but doesn’t touch the pricey game. So on the surface, the bundle is marked as like $100 for 25 games, at 87% off. Looks like a great deal. When in reality it’s just 24 cheap games marked down, and one super expensive game. And all of them will be shovelware. But it’ll be enough to fool anyone who doesn’t bother to dig into the actual bundle details.
Viewtiful Joe is a good one.
I think I have an inordinate amount of nostalgia for Metal Arms: Glitch in the System and 007: Agent Under Fire. Both are locked to consoles. The campaign and multiplayer of Metal Arms are all-timers, and while the campaign is fairly basic for Agent Under Fire, the multiplayer, especially with all of the modifiers turned on, is some of my favorite FPS multiplayer ever.
I'd also like a PC version of Soul Calibur II with rollback, please, Bandai-Namco. I don't care if the series stops there; this is really all I want or need from this franchise. Especially if you can just reskin Link and put his functionality in the game alongside Heihachi and Spawn.
Crush, puzzle/platformer only released on PSP and 3ds. It had decent reviews but I guess it didn't make enough money to get any ports. One of my favorites from the PSP along with Joan d'Arc and persona 3.
The PS2 exclusive War of the Monsters
How do you feel about Gigabash?
It's fun but doesn't quite scratch the itch. It's a lot more arcade-y and simpler than War of the Monsters. Way smaller maps and less environmental interaction
Puyo Puyo Chronicle, the last good installment in the series, don't @ me. I'd like Sega to make a proper new game, but they're clearly never ever ever ever gonna do that, so the next best thing they could do is port a good one. What I need most is a game that's on all major platforms with crossplay.
