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.
"World of Final Fantasy on Vita: chibi characters in a Final Fantasy world with a stack monster capture system. Intense FF fan service, accessible and charming. For all FF fans."
"The Sly Trilogy remastered on Vita: all three original Sly adventures in one portable collection. Sly fans who haven't played yet, start here."
"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."
"Soul Sacrifice is a masterful monster hunting action-RPG on Vita. Sacrifice your limbs or enemies to progress. Oppressive dark fantasy atmosphere, excellent cooperative. Essential Vita exclusive."
"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."
