Even better is that it’s included with a PlayStation Plus membership as standard. There are some levels which are simply awe inspiring and really show what the system is capable of. Originally a PS3 title, Gravity Rush was shrunk down onto the Vita yet is no worse for it. The twin sticks make flying through the city of Hekesville a breeze as you fall with style onto towering spires and through dazzling dreamscapes. Gravity Rush is an open world title with the twist of protagonist Kat being able to control her centre of gravity. One of the initial wave of titles, and still one of the most visually impressive games available on the system. Play it in the dark all alone with headphones on for the scariest experience. Jasper Byrne’s superbly creepy Lone Survivor has pretty much its definitive version on the Vita.

Mike Bithell’s Thomas Was Aloneand Phil Fish’s Fez have found their natural home on the Vita. Although virtually all the Vita’s indie titles also launched on the PC, they really feel more suited for the pick up and play nature of Sony’s handheld.īinding of Isaac, for example, is a perfect fit due to the twin analogue thumb sticks and bright screen. Although initially touted as a full console experience on a handheld, surprisingly, the Vita has found itself the ideal home for indie titles.
