Best Games for Quick Breaks on a Steam Deck?

-

I have a Steam Deck and only 20-minute breaks during my job, so I’m looking for games that are perfect for short sessions. What would you suggest for quick gaming bursts?

If you’re into roguelikes, Slay the Spire and Hades are great choices. They have short runs, and you can always pause if you need to. Vampire Survivors is also solid for quick games. Just be aware that unlocking Hyper mode lets you finish runs in around 15 minutes instead of 30!

Seconding Hades! Each room lasts just a minute or so, so it’s easy to squeeze in a run.

Stardew Valley can fit perfectly into your breaks since each in-game day takes about 14 minutes, so you can actually complete a full day on each break. It’s a nice, chill experience! Plus, it’s relaxing and can brighten up your workday.

But it might feel a bit frustrating just doing one day at a time, right?

ChillMaster777 -

Totally agree! A quick Stardew session might make everyone a bit more relaxed at work.

You might also want to check out Cloudpunk for some storytelling and quick deliveries. If you prefer a chill experience, Unpacking or FTL can be played in short bursts too. They’re fun and fit into your break time easily!

FTL is great, but remember to save often if you’re handling it during breaks!
