After its rocky and barren launch period, the PlayStation 3 started to hit its stride a couple of years into its lifespan, and ended up becoming the home for many beloved gaming IPs.

Developers started to push what was graphically possible and, as a result, many PS3-era games hold up to modern gamers' visual expectations, even if lighting effects and reflections aren't as fancy.
