Just got a Steam Deck and looking to emulate more PS2 games any recs on what I should emulate?

‘Nuff said.
Advos_467: Mascot Platformers hell yeah
SpeculativeEinstein: My god you’re a person of culture!! I could not have said it better myself
SwirlyT: So fucking based
Halga84: Fyi: There are some HD texture packs for PS2 games, which you can use on the SteamDeck without getting a performance hit: https://gbatemp.net/forums/pcsx2-hd-texture-pack-group.549/
Makegooduseof: Ace Combat 4 and 5. I’m waiting for my newly purchased Deck to arrive just so I can play those in bed.
SesameAbundance: Ace Combat 4 is one of the all time greats.
Hotmouth23: Got a few favorites! Here’s a little list:
Shadow of colossus, red ninja: end of honor, jak 3, ghost in the shell: SAC, Sly cooper, star ocean tteot, monster rancher, Hit and Run, ATHF ZNPA (doesn’t work great on deck), DMC 3, Crash tag team racing, LOTR ROTK, Viewtiful joe, Kingdom hearts

JotaPePe15: ATM I have installed Futurama, MK Shaolin Monks and DBZBT3
jamescodesthings: SSX 3 still.
Cookie_Doodle: - Beyond Good & Evil
YourcommentisVstupid: The X-men legends games. They were ahead of their time and a butt load of fun. It was my entry point into the X-men world.
yukeake: Super Robot Wars Alpha 3
Most of my other favorites have alreay been mentioned, so I figured I'd go for one of my more obscure favorites. Unfortunately you'll either need to be able to read Japanese, or use a guide, since there's no translation patch. If you're familiar with the SRW games in general, and the storylines of the various mecha shows involved, you can easily muddle your way through, but some of the stage objectives can be obtuse. (You'll also miss out on some of the best inter-series interactions - like Noriko fangirling over the Getter, or the classic Super Robot pilots taking Shinji under their wings to give him better role models)
flower4000: King Kong (this game is way ahead of its time, like ps3 immersion)
Shadow of the Colossus (nothing like it yet tons of games who wish they were it)
Dark cloud 1-2
Tony hawk american wasteland (best map fight me)
Kingdom hearts 1(the rest of the series is fun but the first one is a different game, the puzzles and secrets are just better)
Sly series
Ratchet 1-3 + deadlock
Jak 1-3
Simpson hit and run
Gauntlet dark legacy
Psychonaughts
Rayman 2
Vexx (weird generic ps2 story, but the combat and mobility moves are fun as hell)
ThirstyTurtle328: Gran Turismo 2
viscrivodallufficio: First thing I did with my deck was emulate Ratchet Gladiator (Deadlocked for the NTSC friends).
Someday I will play the trilogy back to back, R&C3 (Up your arsenal?) is my favourite.
JYPXunderground: Re4, mgs3, legaia 2, shadow hearts 2, wwe hctp, svr 06 and 10, fight night 3, nba 2k6 up to 8, hitman blood money, max payne 2, freedom fighters, mk shaolin monks and others I have forgotten
limt__: Timesplitters 2
pauloyasu: I can't believe nobody said Shadow of the Colossus
PCuser3: Tekken Tag Tournament
Aggravating_Ring_714: Kingdom hearts 1 + 2, gow 1+2, dragon quest vii, gta vice city stories, mark of kri, rogue galaxy, champions of norrath, fallout brotherhood of steel
kagataikaguri: Persona 3 FES
ArsRegia23: Vice City.
Hot Shots Golf 3 & Fore.
OutRun 2006 Coast to Coast
Yonrak: Time Splitters 1 and 2
sometipsygnostalgic: Budokai tenkaichi 3 is great!
Devil may cry 3 is the best one ive played, but you should probably play the switch version of that game if you can.
porkybrah: Played DMC3 on my PC great game.
merlineatscake: GOD HAND
GOD HAND
and I should probably mention:
GOD HAND
Fit_Antelope3200: Has anybody tried a True Crimes games
PheDii: Mortal Kombat Deception
eggbunni: * Parasite Eve
Really wish I could think of others right now.
Dull-Industry-5873: Not a deck owner yet but I lurk a lot on here in preparation...
My fav games are Black and God Hand, how do they play on the deck?
GamingRobioto: Final Fantasy X
NitroHatrick: NFS Carbon, Gow 2, Midnightclub 3, MK Deception
just_hating: I've played Nocturne a few times.
SnooPeanuts9263: Tony Hawks Underground
MrAwesome: Zone of the Enders. Nice short Kojima game with pretty visuals and tight controls
Yonrak: Unfortunately has a lot of visual bugs (related to some special effects) and poor performance when there are a lot of enemies on PCSX2. Ironically the PS3 HD edition runs a lot better via RPCS3 and also draws less power in my experience.
PapiCats: Either time splitters 2, Jak and Daxter the precursor legacy, or metal gear solid 3
finlopes1997: It's borderline criminal that no one has mentioned Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2 in the US) yet. Classic dungeon crawler RPG with a charming story and neat inventing and town building aspects. Should work great on the Deck, perfect pick up and play RPG.
the GOAT of PS2 RPGs is Dragon Quest VIII though, but that's already been mentioned. It's one of the best in the series, and is a tonne of fun.
Me, personally, I'm a survival horror freak. It's not everyone's cup of tea but here's some essentials if you're into the genre in no particular order (leaving out some of the obvious ones like Silent Hill 2 which has already been mentioned here):
cderry: Another huge thumbs up for Dark Cloud 2. Love that game!
Taido_Inukai: I prefer Dark Cloud 1 but yes, the DC series is golden!
finlopes1997: I liked Dark Cloud but prefer the more streamlined gameplay of the second game, and also prefer the characters and story. The story in both games is pretty generic but I found the delivery more charming in the second one..
porkybrah: Im a big fan of Survival Horrors too.I put Silent Hill 4 on my Deck only played about an hour of it so far.
finlopes1997: I can wholeheartedly recommend Silent Hill 3, Forbidden Siren 2 and Clock Tower 3 as well. They're probably my favourites of the bunch.
porkybrah: Silent Hill 3 is my favourite.Heard a lot of good things about Forbidden Siren.
BitingChaos: #Amplitude
KnackeredParrot: Absolute banger
foxxx509: One of the first things I did with my deck when I got it, is set up PCSX2. I have the Jak & Daxter series, TimeSplitters series, Medal of Honor Frontline, Maximo Ghosts to Glory on it as those were my favorites when I was younger.
Taido_Inukai: RPG: .hack GU (three games, Google it)
Fighter: Soul Calibur 3
Platform: Jak 1,2, and 3
Skate: Tony Hawk Underground
Mech: Armored Core 4
Star Wars: SW Battlefront 1 and 2. DO NOT BUY THE RECENTLY RELEASED REMAKE.
officialchunkyfox: Jackass The game
NovicePro_: The prototype games
loriffic: Star Wars Jedi Starfighter.
Advos_467: Ratchet and Clank trilogy and deadlocked
Neo_Techni: MGS3
neddoge: Not really great on emu because of the lack of pressure sensitive face buttons.
Neo_Techni: touche
astrotunt: Katamari Damacy
Dynasty Warriors 3 is a runner-up
Seibitsu: How does DW 3 stand up in today's standards? I started my journey back then with 4 but played 3 and was fun. Might end up playing it on the deck.
astrotunt: It is definitely dated, but I have so many fond memories of switching off with my brother when we were kids that I don't mind. That kind of hack and slash is also just timelessly satisfying.
snowarrior: Rogue galaxy
tellitothemoon: I’ve been playing a lot of Wipeout Fusion (looks amazing in hd widescreen) and Culdcept.
yosoyez: Kingdom Hearts
KnackeredParrot: I think God of War 2 is the pinnacle but Shadow of the Colossus probably my top spot
drck_89: nfsu2
Time_Hater: San Andreas was the game I grew up with but I played Max Payne 2 on the deck recently and it's definitely my favorite PS2 game now.
Strutterer: God Hand, please this game needs more attention
