Re: "Bought a PS Vita, looking for game recommendations"
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.
