Here’s Why The PS Vita Is One Of My Favourite Consoles Of All-Time

It Has A Phenomenal Indie Line-Up

I can’t understate how magnificent the indie library is for the PS Vita. It’s got a tremendously vibrant and a remarkably eclectic ecosystem of indies that would satiate only but the most curmudgeonly and cantankerous of gamers.

Bitesized indie titles lend themselves well to on-the-go gaming and there’s the odd occasion where the PS Vita is the best place to play them. A full fat version of Mojang’s sandbox indie phenomenon Minecraft is a notable highlight, while twitch arcade murder-em-up sensation Hotline Miami, the addicting rogue-lite action platformer Rogue Legacy and Red Hook Games’ brutal perma-death D&D-inspired Darkest Dungeon all spring to mind as titles that really shine brightly on the handheld platform due to all the convenient benefits that on-the-go gaming brings to the table.

Add to this the fact that the PS Vita frequently runs these smaller indie titles with parity in comparison to its way more technologically beefy home console siblings, and you have a fully-fledged pocket-sized indie machine that fits snuggly in your coat pocket.
