/r/Vita's Greatest Games of All Time - Results

Hello /r/Vita! About 10 days ago, we ran a poll to determine our console's best games in celebration of 100k subcribers, And now we have the results!

We're using spoiler tags in this post to build anticipation, but if you'd rather see the list without clicking through those our Wiki page has the full, unredacted list. - Spoiler tags since removed, Wiki page still valid.

A final note before the results - we've disabled contest mode on the voting thread so people can see how everything shook out, but we have no way to disable upvoting/downvoting comments. As a result, some of the scores may change over time. The results below are the results as-of the official cutoff time.

Are any of these digital exclusives? ie, going away with the store closing?

Ecolibrium, Stardew Valley, Helldivers, and Crypt of the Necrodancer. MLB 15 also has a "physical" release, but it's a code in a box rather than a game cartridge.

Everything else has a physical English release, though many are expensive and some are import-only.

Am I right that it's only Ecolibrium that's not available on other systems though?

Yes, and all of them except Helldivers have a physical release on those other platforms.

Worth noting, though, that Sony has reversed their decision on closing down the store since my previous comment.
