A lot of people are quick to put aside the PS Vita since handheld gaming really isn’t Sony’s forte. Nintendo has much of a foothold in the industry of handhelds way, way back with the GameBoys and Sony is practically a newcomer in comparison. There are some good games on the Vita if you are willing to give it a proper go. Here are the 4 games that I would like to start you off with.
While obviously not as beautiful as its console big brother version, Uncharted Golden: Abyss brings some of the best graphics available on handheld. A mini Nathan Drake adventure you can take with you on the go. The platforming, the story, and the action are top-notch.
Telltale’s The Walking Dead Season 1 and Season 2
If a more emotional ride is up your alley then you have to check out the Walking Dead games. It puts you a perilous ride in the zombie apocalypse where you aren’t a badass killer. Not everyone can be a Daryl Dixon. This shows the human side of the apocalypse and boy is it good.
Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward
Another story driven game on the Vita that puts you as one of nine survivors in a deadly game of last man standing. You make heavy decisions that make you question your own humanity just for the sake of self-preservation. A story full of twists and turns is worth your attention.
Yes, I am an absolute sucker for Japanese RPGs and Persona 4: Golden is a one of the best available. A hardcore RPG that puts you in the shoes of a High School student doing battle against outwardly beings. This is a game that can absolutely draw you in. Oh, and don’t forget to study for your midterms (in game). When was high school ever this hard and awesome?
