5.Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Golden Abyss launched exclusively on the PS Vita back in 2012, and quite honestly served all the purposes Naughty Dog intended for it. A handheld version of the popular series, it brought new elements by utilizing the Vita’s abilities. Overall, Golden Abyss proved one thing – that a PS Vita version of Uncharted could be worthy, even though larger counterparts existed on consoles. While there was still room for improvement, Golden Abyss did sell well and gave a little more story for Nathan Drake.
Developed by Bend Studio, Golden Abyss acted as a prequel to the first game in the series, Drake’s Fortune. Working with an old friend, Dante, Drake finds himself in the middle of chaos once more. This time, he’s looking to protect an archaeological dig site under attack by a scandalous warlord, who wants to use antique treasures to fund his evil empire. Many of the features included in the main games were brought to the handheld version, with a few new mechanics such as drawing your climbing route with the touchscreen and the rubbing the Vita screen to solve puzzles.
