The PSP was a real hotbed of innovation for PlayStation, home to some of the company’s most creative and ambitious games — from LocoRoco to God of War: Ghost of Sparta. But no other PSP game has managed to hold up as well as Patapon, a fantastically brilliant spin on the rhythm game that has you controlling your own little army of one-eyed creatures. It’s a game that’s as infectiously fun as its bopping soundtrack, and if you’ve got PlayStation Plus you can finally jump into this classic entirely for free.
If you’ve played any of the games, Patapon 3 is almost exactly the same, just with a few new additions and different levels. If you’ve never played one, however, it’s likely going to take a bit to wrap your head around. Essentially it’s a rhythm-based RPG where you command an army of Patapon by tapping buttons along to the beat.
