Good PS1 games that weren't made in Japan? (lemmy.world)

I do like myself a good Japanese game every once in a while, but right now I'm looking for other PS1 games made outside of Japan that are still very fun to play.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and the sequel Abe's Exoddus. Easily one/two of the best games I've ever played. They're available on PC and other systems these days, but they're still the definitive Playstation game for me. Unique and one of a kind and even today, absolutely great to play.

I also give a vote to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Medievil. Surprised no-one's mentioned Oddworld though.

Edit: Ooh I have to add, Rayman! And if you have a friend to play with - Team Buddies.

I think that game was probably my first real critique of capitalism. I played it at a young age and just fell in love with the anti-consumerist and liberation philosophy, though I didn’t have those words to describe it into much later in life. I really recommend the original Oddyssey and Exoddus over New m Tasty and Soulstorm. New n Tasty covers the same story points, but loses a lot of the environmental storytelling in the process, and Soulstorm is just a completely different game to Exoddus entirely.
