This is the only game where a tazer is a lethal weapon. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you've never played this game. Besides that, as someone who grew up on the PS1, this was our equivalent of Nintendo's Goldeneye and honestly? I think we got the better game in the end.

This was the first game I completed as a child, it is very entertaining, a good story, a variety of weapons, stealth mechanics and a lot of shooting, it brings back very good memories.
A pre tom clancy game with serious good voice acting for a psx game :D loved it still do bought ps5 version 10 euro still worth it :D ( understanding english now is a plus)
My favorite moments with Syphon Filter were playing this with my older brother. It was such a rich and visually distinctive game for the time. When I think back to 1998-99 me and Billy (1975-2014) enjoyed the dynamic realism to the combat system. The controls were spot on and responsive. The visual style creatively helped open the door for games which would come. The aiming system was well ahead of its time.

Hack
HackThe object of the game is to delve into a dungeon to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor, and perish with as much game points as possible. The player can start out with a different ability set, such as Wizard or Cave(wo)man. The player confronts various monsters: hobgoblins, leprechauns, acid blobs, bats, centaurs, chameleons, dragons, ghosts, imps, trolls, and has weapons, armor, potions, wands, rings and special items to aid in this, e.g. related to fire there is a scroll, a ring, a monster and a wand, and their interplay is to be discovered. There is time pressure because you die if your food runs out, food is scattered around the dungeon. There is a limit to what you can carry, forcing you to leave valuable items behind. The gold and gems you carry when you die increases your score, but it is heavy too. The player must enter Hell to recover the Amulet. Entering Hell for the uninitiated just means that "you burn to a crisp". (In NetHack, Hell is renamed.) The player encounters special rooms such as shops, crypts, and vaults. Other spatial elements in the game are traps and swamps. As your experience grows, so are your abilities, score and the need for food. Retrieving the Amulet doesn't guarantee you the high score. After all the Amulet is just a very valuable gem.
