10 Upcoming PS Vita Games That We Can’t Wait For

Want me to let you in on a little secret? Here it goes… the PS Vita is not dead. Okay, now repeat that again, but this time with feeling. I know that the Debbie Downers out there will be shaking their collective heads right now, but they’re mistaken — Sony’s plucky handheld console is still valiantly trucking along against all odds, especially in regards to software releases. Sure, it’s nearing the end of the console’s life-cycle, having launched in the West way back in 2012, but it still hasn’t gone the way of the dodo… not just yet anyway.

A genre that’s slightly under-represented on the Japanese giant’s portable are Zelda-like action-adventures, but Oceanhorn: Monster of the Uncharted Seas is set to help plug that very specific gap. Much like its inspiration, the game’s a 3D isometric action-RPG with light puzzle-solving, real-time combat and Metroidvania-style upgrades that unlock new areas of the map.

Our very own Chad Goodmurphy reviewed the title on Xbox One and surmised that despite “lacking in originality, this game still manages to be quite good. Sure, it doesn’t live up to Link’s name, but it’s polished, interesting and enjoyable enough to be worth a gander.”

Even though Oceanhorn loses marks for creativity, the general discourse surrounding the game is that it’s a fun and very well-made Zelda-like that will keep Vita enthusiasts happy and scratch an itch that fans of the genre have been hankering for since the console’s inception.
