I tried Vampire Survivors and despite how fun it was to see the game played, I am not sure I actually enjoy playing it. Then again, I have put quite a few hours on Time Wasters, and that may just be more my jam.

Otherwise? Playing Infested Planet. The control scheme is serviceable, if awkward, but I can also just pick it up whenever which is the use case for the Steam Deck.

Your experience with Vampire Survivors matches mine really well. It did hook me, but soon after, I started to feel like I was in this "ooh, piece of candy" gag on Family Guy. Almost like a gambling-induced dopamine rush, which is when I noticed that I wasn't actually having fun.
