Steam Deck “quick play” games?

[Samwise.Gamgee]

Evening,

I’m on the lookout for some Steam Deck game recommendations. We have just had a newborn, so my gaming time is pretty limited these days! I’m after something I can pick up and put down quickly without needing long sessions. What are your go-to “quick play” games?

Wallworld was cool

Vampire Survivors

Came in to say this. Gets quicker as you progress too

Balatro. Although you'll need some self control.

Essential Steam Deck games...

I've not delved into Steam in a long while, however as counter intuitive as it may seem we've just had a baby, so I picked up a Steam Deck because I'm not going to be busy enough :cry: Looking for games that fit the deck format well, that you can pickup periodically, but aren't just mindless...

Just started playing celeste. It's bonkers hard, but you can have a quick blast. In the early levels where I am at least, it saves pretty often.

VVVVVV is also a great quick play platformer

Bit trip runner , for a quick dash.

Definitely Slay the spire. There also the excellent downfall community expansion for it, but controller support was a bit broken last I tried it.
