I’m looking something to take up the time I’d normally spend scrolling reddit.
Something that’s reasonable to play for 2-5 minutes or for over an hour.
My current go-to is Alto’s adventure or doing laps in Assetto Corsa Competizione.
My go-to is Vampire Survivors! Default runs are 30 minutes long but you can make them as short as 15 iirc all the way to endless. Mindless enough that you can zone out but you can get more involved if you want.
Slay the Spire

Also on android and those I phones
Vampire Survivor and Brotato.
The Binding of Isaac.
Pixross.
Tetris Effect.
Gunfire Reborn.
Spin Rhythm XD.
Bloons TD 6.
Brotato and Vampire Survivor are the best time wasters.
I have been playing way too much of Isaac since getting the Deck. A perfect game, my brain is rotting and I want all the unlocks. Please help
+1 Vampire Survivors
Instead of Tetris, I’ve gotten into PolyCube. Definitely my go-to “mindless” game.
I second Brotato.
Honestly solitaire https://github.com/TobiasBielefeld/Simple-Solitaire
Or frozen bubble’s https://github.com/videogameboy76/frozenbubbleandroid
Both of these have been my jam for months now.
Backpack hero and Peglin are ones I do for any amounts of time!
I like playing 2048 if I need to kill time, though I’m not sure if it’s what you’re looking for.
Since you like driving games, Beam NG is great fun for 2-5 minutes of random crashing, or over an hour of fiddling with things to do 2-5 minutes of random crashing.
Should also check out Art of Rally for a smaller scale driving game
- Turmoil, you can play either a campaign or a one-off match
- lowkey Rimworld, if you play on the easier difficulties just for colony building
- Forager is pretty mindless
- Vampire Survivors, very VERY fun, and games are either 30 minutes or 15 minutes (you have to unlock this), or earlier if you die
- Hidden Folks if you want a where’s waldo type game
- Terraria, mostly the mining, or trying to grind for rare items
I definitely recommend Dave the Diver, easy to pick up and play for 5 minutes or for hours.
+1 on dave the diver. This game has a comfortable vibe, and great characters. You can either take things easy by diving only in the shallows or go really deep into the dark depths of the ocean, and then to top it off there’s a “sushi cooking” game to cook up what you found. It’s a fantastic game, and great for steam deck since one “level” is 10-20 minutes.
Luck Be a Landlord and Peglin are both neat roguelite games that are easy to pick up and put down, but are still interesting enough to play for long periods, too.
Peglin looks fun but I’ve been waiting on a good sale now for months.
I managed to snag it for 20% off in February. Normally I don’t go in on games until they’re out of early access, but it’s been fun seeing lots of new relics, orbs, and random events get added each patch.
Any “survivors” type game - Brotato, Vampire/Soulstone Survivors, Nordic Ashes, etc.
Roguelikes (I like Noita these days).
Card based games - Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Guild of Dungeoneering, …
Darkest Dungeon.
I’ve played noita for probably 6 hours and still have no clue what’s happening. Cool game though
Honestly the beauty of the stream deck imo is that a lot of games become great for short play sessions when you have a convenient sleep function.
I love the goddamn sleep function I wish PCs had it by default
Snow Runner!
Truck through mud and deliver crazy shit
And get stuck. So you rescue the first truck. But the second truck ran out of fuel so you grab another…
It’s so good
My current strategy is to tether two trucks together and then pull something so that I’ve got two motors pulling things through the mud 😎
Hot Wheels unleashed for driving.
I like problem solving games. Stray was amazing. I really loved Figment and enjoying Inside right now
@Dj_brown_sugar I’m a big fan of Vampire Survivors. Halls of Torment is also a good game.
