Any recommendations for PS Vita games? (self.patientgamers)

I picked up a Vita recently. So far, Gravity Rush is the only game that I definitely want to play. Any other recommendations? I’m pretty open with genres, as long as it’s something with a story.

Check out the Ys series on PSP and Vita, they are some of the best games I've played through on my Vita. Digitalemelas.com has a lot of really good info on it.

Also obligatory Persona 4 Golden

I see Ys mentioned a lot! I'm a casual JRPG fan (played Persona 3, 5, maybe half the Tales games, maybe 3-4 FF games, Xenoblade trilogy, Bravely Default + both sequels, 2 or 3 Dragon Quest games, and probably a handful of others). Anything in particular that you'd compare Ys with? And do you recommend I play it in any specific order? I skimmed the site and it looks like they're all connected, although not in order, which makes me think of MGS.

I’m just getting started with Ys myself having just finished I&II and moving to Origins. I’m playing on a Steam Deck and using this site to determine my play order.

So far I’m getting the impression that this series is going to be kind of like Zelda, but instead of exploration, puzzles and gizmos, you get storytelling, combat and magical items. There are probably much better comparisons to other popular franchises, but this is just what popped into my head as of starting Origins last night.

Yup you nailed it, think classic top down Zelda but with more fast paced bump combat/hack n slash combat depending on which game you're playing, and less puzzles. Don't be ashamed to use a walkthrough for Ys 1 and 2 as they are originally made in the late 80s/early 90s and have some obscure elements to them (find a boss before getting x item and you will get one shotted/ won't be able to damage him, etc)
