PSFocus writes: Ubisoft brought some titles to the table during the launch of the PlayStation Vita. Lumines: Electronic Symphony was one of them. And it's a perfect example how a puzzlegame should be: challenging, addictive and the game features a wonderful soundtrack.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Despite its somewhat anaemic lineup of backwards-compatible titles (unusual in light of the genre’s strong pedigree on Sony consoles), Vita’s selection of rhythm games is highly impressive in the modern market with genre favourites like DJMax, Hatsune Miku and Taiko no Tatsujin all present and plenty of quirky oddities like Deemo, Love Live & Persona thrown in for good measure. You’re definitely going to need to try your hand at importing to get the most of the genre here, but that shouldn’t be an issue thanks to region-free hardware and easy-to-grasp gameplay."
The Blade's Will Harrison: As I plan a 20-hour road trip of my own, there are go-to games that I can always rely upon to kill time and make the drive all the more pleasant. As usual, the best game is the one you love.
So, pack some old friends for the long journey ahead. Even if you have miles to go before you sleep there’s always time for one more turn before the batteries fade.
The PlayStation Vita still has some games in it, let's get that out of the way from outset. The release schedule isn't massive, but there's a steady trickle of releases that should keep us going through the console's twilight.
Did the Vita ever get a game that looked better than Killzone? That game looked so good for a handheld game.
Probably the best fps on a handheld ever, actual effort from the developers Guerilla Cambridge compared to the shoddy devs who did those resistance and cod games.
I remember the limited edition psvita soul sacrifice versions (red one) which looked stunningly beautiful.
for my list it's
Persona 4 Golden
NFS Most Wanted 12
Soul Sacrifice
Dynasty Warriors Next
Muramasa Rebirth
Terraria
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Metal Gear Solid 2
Gravity Rush
Ninja Gaiden Σ Plus
A totally decent list. I could add A LOT to it. How about the 2 EDF games? EDF 2017 Portable and EDF 2 Invaders From Planet Space?
Killzone mercenary, uncharted golden abyss, gravity rush, and resistance burning skies were my favs. So sad the vita wasn't more successful it had so much potential
The only one you listed that I consider "best of the system" material is Killzone. Gravity Rush and Uncharted were Eh, but Resistance Burning Skies was decent. I did not like the single player. That portion of the game felt very underdeveloped, but the multiplayer for a time until Killzone came out was probably the best handheld shooter online expeience you could ever have. Tons of dumb fun
