Vita doesn’t have too many good original games, though it works well as an emulator of PS1/PSP/SNES etc. that also has a few bangers. I’m currently playing through the remake of original XCOM, which is great except the interface was obviously made for the faster PS3.
There’s a shitload of visual novels for some reason, though.

I had to google this because I thought for a moment that you meant there was a remake of the original original XCOM on Vita. As in “X-COM UFO Defense” (known as “UFO: Enemy Unknown” elsewhere).
Had me excited for a moment there.
Not that the rebooted series isn’t good in its own right. But the original game was so good and would be amazing with some QoL improvements.

I mean, Wikipedia says that the 2012 ‘XCOM: Enemy Unknown’ is a ‘reimagining’ of that first game, however my memory isn’t so good as to remember what the original was like in details. I can say, though, that probabilities <40% do result in hits sometimes, which is a definite upgrade.

Yeah it gets a little confusing.
But looking at screenshots of the Vita title, it’s the remake not the original original. That is, not the one that came out in 1994.
This is the actual original game I’m referring to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO:_Enemy_Unknown
This is the 2012 remake which is the basis for the Vita version (still a good game, but I prefer the original. Could be nostalgia): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XCOM:_Enemy_Unknown
