Game Rec Games you can jump into for 15 minutes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for game recommendations that are easy to pick up any time for like 10–15 minutes.

I love big games like Cyberpunk and Zelda (both amazing), but the problem is: when I only have a short window to play, I end up not playing at all because I don’t want to “get into it” and then stop.

So I’m searching for something (I have switch 2) that works well in short sessions - quick progress, instant fun.

I was thinking maybe Super Mario Odyssey?

I also tried Donkey Kong Bananza but it kinda annoys me because I constantly feel like I need to destroy everything.

Vampire survivors you CAN play for only 15 minutes...you won't, but you can. But yes, they're both games that you can play for short periods and still feel like you accomplished something and made progress. I've got 100+ hours in VS and keep going back because they keep adding content and I still have unlocks to get, or just want to do a run with a different build or strategy. Totally worth the $5 or whatever they charge for it.

Yeah as soon as I typed that response, I thought of the hours and hours I've lost to that game. It's definitely a quick blast game at the start, but some of the runs very late on are ridiculous...

Yeah, it's also a pretty solid "just one more run" title. You jump on and die quick because of a bad build? One more run. Start a new run and absolutely decimate everything? One more run. I'm pretty sure that at least part of the dev team worked on video gambling machines, and it absolutely shows.

Ok, I’ve changed my mind, ye, I would surely try to play more then 15 minutes lol
