Technically stunning but poorly supported, the PS Vita became a cult console, a haven for JRPGs and indies: Persona 4 Golden, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, Tearaway. This Top 50 gathers the best of Sony's handheld, re-tested and re-ranked by RomWize, each title with its re-evaluated score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value — a value on the rise.
"Thomas Was Alone on Vita, Mike Bithell's minimal narrative platformer with coloured rectangles. Simple but poignant storytelling. A touching indie game about friendship and identity."
"Everybody's Golf on Vita: Sony's accessible and fun arcade golf. Cute characters, varied courses, multiple game modes. The reference for relaxed golf on portable."
"WipEout 2048 is the best racing game on Vita. Anti-gravity ships in a 2048 future with a masterful electronic soundtrack. Stunning speeds, magnificent visuals. Essential."
"Killzone Mercenary is the reference FPS on Vita. Breathtaking visuals for the portable, satisfying mercenary gameplay. The Vita exclusive that proves portable FPS can be excellent."
"Sly Cooper Thieves in Time on Vita with the thieving raccoon and friends through time. Accessible and charming stealth platformer, well adapted to portable. A must for Sly fans."
"Street Fighter X Tekken on Vita: the historic Capcom vs Namco crossover with 2-fighter tag teams. Impressive roster from both franchises. Deep fighting for fans of both universes."
"Minecraft on Vita: absolute construction freedom on portable. Create, explore and survive in an infinite block world. The Minecraft experience perfectly adapted to portable sessions."
"Dragon Quest Builders blends Minecraft and Dragon Quest: build a destroyed world in the DQ universe. DQ's story and missions make construction more guided and narrative. Excellent."
"MLB 13 The Show on Vita rolls forward the formula with updated rosters. The simulation is still rigorous, but few changes are noticeable compared with the previous edition."
"Remastered Jak and Daxter trilogy on Vita. Naughty Dog's Jak adventures in their best portable version. Excellent platforming and storytelling, three games in one. Excellent."
