The PlayStation Vita didn’t get the love it deserved. The same can also be said about its games, with many charming titles and a handful of exclusives in some of PlayStation’s best franchises making use of the handheld hardware’s capabilities. Here are just 10 of the many (in no particular order) that you should definitely try out if you have the chance!
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
It’s an impressive feat to have a full-sized Uncharted game on such a small console, but Bend Studio laughed at this notion to give us Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Making full use of the front touchscreen and rear touchpad for platforming sections, whilst also letting Uncharted purists stick to using button controls, Golden Abyss always had something new for the player to do (including holding your Vita up to a light source or using its motion controls for aiming) and with a cast of fully voiced characters old and new, this relentless action-adventure is a must-play for any fans of Nathan Drake.
Freedom Wars
Do you like to fight against freakishly large demons for basic human rights, and having some time reduced from your prison sentence of 1,000,000 years, which you got for simply existing? Yeah, me too, which is why Freedom Wars is a surprisingly refreshing take on the “Monster Hunter” style of gameplay and has a satisfying rate of unlocking more rewards, which all make sense within the narrative (want to go to sleep? Best get out there and rescue some civilians!). Add in cooperative play and you've got a sleeper hit that I wish more people spoke about.

MythForce
MythForce seems like the videogame version of all those cartoons you loved as a kid, like He-Man or She-Ra. The game even has its own animated intro and theme song! I was so excited to start playing once I saw this. It was apparent that a lot of time and love went into this intro, so they must have put this much work in, but can it live up?
Gunbrella
Sometimes, a game title tells you everything you need to know about that game in just a word; Gunbrella is an amazing example of this. If youâve ever had thoughts of becoming a lethal Mary Poppins, this is the game for you. The developers at Doinksoft have you playing as a quiet woodsman, decked out in a brown bowler hat and a long white scarf whose life has taken a tragic turn. At the beginning of the game, we see him out gathering mushrooms. In the distance, we see a wooden cabin covered in flames, this is our woodsmanâs home. He runs there as fast as he can, and runs into the burning building. Alas, itâs too late to save his wife. She has been killed.
Astrea: Six Sided Oracles
Astrea: Six Sided Oracles is a deck-building roguelike with noticeable inspiration from Slay The Spire. Despite this inspiration, however, it manages to hold its own incredibly well, even going so far as potentially being one of my favourite deck-builders of all time.
Baldur's Gate 3
Through a litany of modern games mired by microtransactions and shifty live-service releases emerges a shining beacon of light: Baldur's Gate 3. Your buddies at work are talking about it; your favourite Discord servers are awash with videos about it; heck, even Grandma and her bridge club are wittering away about it (probably). The game has quickly become a cultural phenomenon and with my playtime knocking the three-digit mark, I finally feel ready to evaluate my adventure through Faerûn â so letâs dive in.
The Crew Motorfest
The Crew is a series Iâm very familiar with; since its inception back in 2014 Iâve spent countless hours driving across the scaled down versions of mainland America. For the third entry into Ubisoftâs open-world racer series, The Crew Motorfest takes players to Hawaii, focusing instead on a much denser, detailed environment rather than the scaled down âMurica. Whilst not as drastic a tonal shift as The Crew 2 was from its predecessor, can Motorfest provide an enjoyable cruise through one of the world's most beautiful locations?
Fae Farm
Fae Farm is a new cosy farming simulator title by Phoenix Labs set in the enchanted lands of Azoria â a world full of magical issues that begs for your help!
Tevi
TEVI is a bullet-hell metroidvania, developed by Crespirit and was an utter joy to play. Full of fascinating systems, fluid combat, and some fantastic world-building, TEVI is a very interesting title.
Farmer's Father: Save The Innocence
I had the opportunity to preview the survival videogame Farmer's Father: Save the Innocence. Prequel to the farming simulator Farmer's Life, you play as the former protagonistâs father as he, his wife, and baby child try to survive 1945 East Europe. The game begins with the Axis forces marching on your front door, forcing the three of you to flee your burning home to the safety of a nearby bunker. Once safely inside, you sleep the night off, now alone during the middle of winter. In the bunker youâll find: a rifle with 10 rounds of ammunition, a bunk bed, a single lamp resting on a table, a working fireplace/oven, and a chest where you put all of the provisions and items.
Moonlight Peaks
It's no secret that I am absolutely obsessed with spooky themes (what with my name being Spooky_0ne everywhere I sign up!), so when I found out there was a life sim game coming out with vampires, witches, potions, nightshades, etc.... Well, I kind of lost my mind from excitement! Thankfully, the team over at Little Chicken gave me the fantastic opportunity to interview them.
So I Tried... Persona 5 Royal
Each edition of So I Tried⊠I will try a game that I have never tried before. Will I find something new to love? Will I make my âdid not finishâ list one entry longer? Iâll take a full half hour, no matter how bad it gets or how badly I do, to see if this is the game for me. This time I went for a spooky visual novel that is said to be one of the best narrative games you can play: Persona 5 Royal.
