And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#10. Lost Dimension
- Release Data: FuRyu, 2015
- Genre: Adventure » General
Lost Dimension isn’t a game for the impatient.
Learning the combat system and paying attention to every line of dialogue requires a large amount of focus but can feel rewarding when you get it just right.
Those willing to invest will find that the lovable characters and attractive art style provide more than enough incentive to replay the game multiple times.
#9. Norn9: Var Commons
- Release Data: Idea Factory, 2015
- Genre: Adventure » Visual Novel
Norn9: Var Commons blends its otome/dating sim elements and science fiction plot with a good deal of skill, creating a visual novel that can be enjoyed by a broad audience.
It’s a bit uneven in its pacing across its individual character arcs, and the overall story isn’t original, but there’s more than enough to get visual novel fans hooked.
#8. Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma
- Release Data: Chime/Spike Chunsoft, 2016
- Genre: Adventure » Visual Novel
Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma is a game everyone absolutely must play.
If you haven’t played the previous games in the series, drop everything and experience them.
Even though the artistic direction is a misfire, ultimately you’re looking to a game like this for the narrative, and it absolutely delivers something intelligent and meaningful there.
#7. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
- Release Data: Spike Chunsoft/NIS America, 2014
- Genre: Adventure » Visual Novel
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc‘s biggest mystery is deducing how to put the game down.
Featuring a colorful collection of memorable characters, some sweat-inducing gameplay, and a narrative that has a lot of twists, this bloody tale of high school life will keep you engrossed from start to finish.
#6. Steins;Gate
- Release Data: 5pb, 2015
- Genre: Adventure » Visual Novel
It’s quite a long visual novel, but Steins;Gate is, like a good book, hard to put down.
It’s subtle, but it plays into all the strengths of the interactive game medium and uses them to enhance its narrative in such a way that the story it tells wouldn’t be possible in a book.
#5. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
- Release Data: Spike Chunsoft/NIS America, 2014
- Genre: Adventure » Visual Novel
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, like the other Danganronpa games on this list, emphasizes narrative and choice.
If you like visual novels, you need these games.
That said, the conceit can start to wear thin after a while if you’re not into murder mysteries.
#4. Code:Realize – Guardian of Rebirth
- Release Data: Otomate/Idea Factory, 2015
- Genre: Adventure » Visual Novel
A classical fairy tale in form, Code:Realize – Guardian of Rebirth is a visual novel that puts you in the role of Cardia who wants to find her father while escaping from people who have ill intentions.
You’ll almost think you’re watching a really dark Disney movie, but you’re playing one of the best visual novels on the PS Vita.
#3. Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward
- Release Data: ChunSoft, 2012
- Genre: Adventure » Visual Novel
Escaping from a mad man that wants you to solve puzzles in an abandoned warehouse never gets old.
Just think of this game as the movie Saw without the body dismemberment.
The real magic of these visual novel games is in how they wrap you up in the story and this game is no exception.
#2. Grim Fandango Remastered
- Release Data: Double Fine Productions, 2015
- Genre: Adventure » 3D » Third-Person
This Day of the Dead themed adventure game was a flop when it initially released for PC back then but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a critical darling.
Easily combining some of the best of games like Zork and Myst, Grim Fandango Remastered is also brimming with personality.
This in combination with its great story make it a winner even now.
#1. Tearaway
- Release Data: Media Molecule/SCEE, 2013
- Genre: Adventure » General
This game is a platformer adventure game that takes advantage of every ounce of the Vita’s hardware.
Playing in a world made entirely out of paper is a notion few people would come up while in a sober state.
Tearaway, however, is quite the sobering experience as its beautiful veneer belies its deeply challenging gameplay.
Are your favorite games on the list?
Deciding which PS Vita adventure game is the best is no doubt a never ending topic, but it’s fun to do!
