Does anyone here have experience with this console? I recently bought one because I was looking for a secondary handheld (Steam Deck is great but there's no way I'm fitting that in my purse or pockets).
Probably going to be using it mostly for homebrew but since I have it I was wondering if there was any good native games for it? Especially looking for exclusives or games that don't work well on Linux.
(wasn't sure whether to post this in retrogames instead or not, it's in a weird spot)

Gravity Rush is one of my all time favorites. There's a couple Sly Cooper games on the Vita that are really good. A large collection of PSP games were officially downloadable for Vita, but using homebrew software you can sideload pretty much any PSP game.

@sugar Thanks, I heard good things about Gravity Rush so I guess I have to play it. The PSP compatibility is I big reason I got it, it seems you can even emulate the entire OS so worst case this will be an OLED PSP which is really cool on it's own.

I definitely second Gravity Rush. A really unique and wonderful game, one of my all time favourites too!
I would also recommend Killzone Mercenary - I don't play many first-person shooters, but Killzone Mercenary is far and away my favourite of the genre. The multiplayer servers have been shut down, but I think they made the DLC that lets you play the multiplayer maps against bots free, and it's the single player campaign that really stands out anyway (with free-form maps that reward stealth and exploration and incredible graphics for the system).
Tearaway is also a must-have in my opinion. They made a PS4 remake that's still good, but the original was really designed around the Vita, using all of its features without being too gimmicky. It's a really charming adventure.
On the homebrew side, these days I mainly use my Vita to play homebrew GameBoy/GameBoy Color games from itch.io using the 'Gambatte' emulator in Retroarch.
