Any great games that I could get on PlayStation that are less than thirty minutes long? Preferably looking for something in the 10-20 minute increment. Open to suggestions from almost any genre.

DREDGE is great and has about 10-20 minute loops before returning to port for repairs and sales.

Plus it's super cheap and has a rediculous amount of content, and cheap dlcs that are also great after that

Roguelikes/lites are the perfect genre for this and there are at least 2 good ones I know of on PS5:

Hades and Returnal.

Cult of the Lamb is also decent (not great but it's fun for short bursts)

I highly agree with your Hades recommendation. I'd also add Enter The Gungeon or Streets of Rogue.

Balatro and dead cells

Been playing the Tony Hawk Proskater 1+2 remake.

Definitely in your time frame

Naw man, the game is great, but not in 10-20 minute intervals

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Awesome game, but I'd feel bad stopping so soon. I'd forget half the stuff by the time I got back to it, I feel

Helldivers 2 has rounds between 12-40 minutes, the longer rounds are often doable faster than 40 mins though. It's pretty easy to join a game already running or lock it down as a solo mission. You can set the difficulty to adjust what you consider fun. I like playing on 4/10 because I find it laid back. It's PvE with squads of up to 4.

Longer than your preferred range, but Helldivers 2 games generally last between 20 and 30 minutes. The absolute maximum a game could possibly last for is 42 minutes.

Dead by Daylight. Each match lasts around 10 mins. Survival horror, multiplayer.

Earth defense force is a fun cheesy simple series played in small burst missions like that
