PS2 Europe and Europe+Japan exclusives (mostly-all-English games that weren't released in America)
List extracted from https://l-lists.com/en/lm.php?l=wo9z8c.html
default sorting is "User Order", but I encourage you to switch the sorting to "Avg Rating" or "Popularity" to prioritize showing you good games instead, or to "Trending", or "Alphabetical"
I encourage you to sort through the shovelware! There's a lot of garbage on this list but also a lot of insanely unique and interesting titles that were localized from Japan but considered "too weird" for America, often with misleadingly boring covers, so look into these games! It's a really interesting library
personally probably my favorite is Gregory Horror Show
also check out my similar PS1 PAL-exclusive English game list (https://www.backloggd.com/u/PZT/list/ps1-europe-and-europejapan-exclusives-all-english-games-that-werent-released-in-america/)
and my PS1 Japan-exclusives with low-language-barrier + fan translations list (https://www.backloggd.com/u/PZT/list/ps1-japan-exclusives-with-low-language-barrier--fan-translations/)
and my Sega Saturn Japan-exclusives with low-language-barrier + fan translations list (https://www.backloggd.com/u/PZT/list/saturn-japan-exclusives-and-pal-exclusives-with-low-language-barrier--fan-translations/)
sadly a list like those but for the PS2 Japan-exclusives with low-language-barrier may not be possible due to the lack of any kind of existing list, no Champion Collection exists or anything, but I'll do some brainstorming on how to assemble a list like that, even if it's incomplete and compromised it'll still be hundreds of good, interesting titles
