20 PS3 Games You Absolutely Have to Play [2026 Edition]

Vanquish

Vanquish delivers pure power fantasy of being a super soldier with an emphasis on speed and style. Sliding boosts, bullet-time aiming, and aggressive enemy encounters come together to create a combat system that constantly pushes players forward and keeps the momentum going. Levels are tightly designed to maintain that speed, rarely allowing the pace to dip. The signature flair shines through in every aspect of the game – right from the art direction to the subtle mechanics and design decisions that help achieve this high speed without breaking the game. Vanquish may be short, but its high-octane gameplay makes it one of the most exhilarating shooters on the PS3.
