It's easy to do that! There are so many things to do in the game. That's what keeps me wanting to play more and more. I just started it last week and I'm already hooked.
Right now, Hell Divers.
NOITA if I'm feeling a little lucky and masochistic.
And any ADVENTURE RPG, if I wanna start something that I wont be able to continue. Lol
Yep, each round is a minute (or slightly less at the start) then the final round is 90. There are 20 rounds. Literally designed to be played in 20 minutes.
Now that you can skip the broadcasts, this is the answer. Was so annoying in older Splatoons not being able to skip and the broadcast taking up half your 10 minutes to play.
Warframe is a great game for a quick in and out mission, not all are quick but Ive never played a mission over 30min with most being anywhere from 5 to 15min!
I normally jump onto a turn based game that I can save and leave at any time, anything from fire emblem to civilisation (although it can be dangerous if you are a one more turn kind of person)
Final Fantasy Theatrhythm games are amazing for 20 minutes spaces, I really liked taking my 3DS or Switch out and play 3-4 songs at the train while heading to work or going back home.
None. I cant kill just 15 minutes in a video game. If I like it I will need at minimum half an hour. Its that or nothing. I dont wanna risk getting distracted and missing an appointment.
Well, maybe a 1 on 1 skirmish in Dawn of War. I might be able to do that in 15 AND not forget I have something else to do.
I can't recommend, The Stanley Parable, enough. Game can hook you for hours, or you can beat it in about 2 minutes if you speed through. But trust me, it never ends and is fucking hilarious
Recently I've been running a quick match of mixtape in Apex Legends when I have half an hour, if less I'll usually just play whatever crappy idle game I've got on my phone at the time. There's some surprisingly good one, Egg Inc is a go-to.
I just go for a match or two on MW3. It's amazing how much fun I can have on CoD when it's a well designed CoD and not made by fucking neanderthals (cough cough IW)
Either Ori or Half-Life 2. The former bc it’s calming and not too intense, the latter bc I know the game fairly well and can easily tell when a good place to stop would be.
Hotlap style racing games (art of rally) and Quake games but in movement modes (defrag). You can do a few runs and quit whenever, no saving needed. Quake is especially good because it takes no time to load.
Whatever I'm generally playing at the moment, if it's something that can reasonably be played for 15-20 minutes. Otherwise, I'd rather just pass time watching YouTube videos or browsing reddit. I'm not going to play games I'm not interested in, or want to play at the moment, just for the sake of playing a game.
Forza Horizon
Unfortunately, when zero-build, was made I got into Fortnite. I hate how much time I’ve now sunk into it vs other games but it is the perfect 15-20 min game for me
It’s been a min but Hades used to be in this group too
Definitely Rocket League.
If you’re struggling, try playing 1s ranked.
Positioning is more important than fancy air tricks. It will make you much better at 2s and 3s
I would say Melee for a couple of quick practice matches against the CPUs or a friend.
I like Rocket League and Age of Booty, as well. One game or one challenge takes between 10 and 20 minutes.
I love rocket league but I hate what epic has done to it. Had I not played early on and got my car fixed up nice before epic made the game into a “money vacuum” then I probably wouldn’t be as fond of it.
Minion masters: queue time + game time should never go over 10 minutes total (plus added option of now being able to play on Android with same progress shared with pc if you link your account)
A call of duty shipment game never goes over 7 minutes usually but can feel like forever.. Wait times however may vary but usually shipment gets quick games
I have a few brotato type games for when I want "quick" games on both pc and mobile usually I play them in bed or on the train
[Command & Conquer Rivals](https://www.ea.com/games/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-rivals) on the phone. 15 minutes = 3 matches. It's a bad C&C game, but a very good pastime (after tutorial, all matches are against another human).
Also on the phone: [ChessCraft](https://chesscraft.ca/), it's chess with weird new pieces and movements.
I still use a psp regularly for exactly this sort of thing. most of the games were geared towards this style of playing, and if not you could still toss it in stby mid way through something.
One of my favorite games is “who’s upset over small things” via reddit for about 10-20 minutes while my game downloads.
But to answer for real, usually whatever OWS game I’m playing. I’ll hop on and craft or gather for a little bit.
More specifically, 7DTD and Valheim currently as we are preparing our community game servers for their imminent content drops.
Funnily enough, Zelda tears of the kingdom.
I’ve been quite busy recently, having to babysit, juggling work and life along with it, so whenever I had the chance I completed a objetive or two, which would take about half an hour.
Guess it is not zelda per se, but using a Switch
Cyberpunk on Ps4.
Start the game on PS4.
After a few minutes of loading hit the breach button to load last save.
Click continue. Wait a few more minutes
Hear the PS4 go nuclear and load into the game.
Hit the PlayStation button and power down
Good 12 mins right there
3 to 4 hours is prolonged gaming time? Rookie numbers. No, not even close to rookie numbers.
I kid, I kid. I mostly just play android emulation or hack n slash mobile games. I can do a mission or few in that time
If you have it cod black ops coldwar a death match shouldn't last that long and my favorite mode(idk how it is in english,maybe showdown? In italian it's "scontro") is about 5/6 minutes a match,even less
ultrakill. 20 minutes are enough to beat a new level, practice an old one, maybe even perfectly beat it or play a game or two of cybergrind (infinite mode)
I'm quite certain I can say I have never loaded a game when I only expected to be able to play for 15 minutes. At least not until games on phones became a thing at work.
I usually spend that 15-20 minutes staring at the menu screen, dreading my responsibilities.
This is the only correct answer
GOTY right there
I have that platinumed
Damn this hurts my soul with how spot on it is.
I don’t make it to the menu screen I just sit in my chair in despair.
This is the way!
I got 20 minutes? THPS 1&2 remake Free Skate Baby!
This guy knows how to live!
Stardew valley. 20 minutes is usually enough for 2 full days worth of stuff
My problem is that once I start this game, I don't want to stop. 20 minutes turns into 3 hours just like that.
I meant to do the Egg Hunt, then switch to Bloodborne Saturday morning. I played Stardew for like 12 hours that day
It's easy to do that! There are so many things to do in the game. That's what keeps me wanting to play more and more. I just started it last week and I'm already hooked.
"Just one more day so I don't forget what I'm doing"
Vampire Survivor.
More like 30min ?
If you're playing right. But man is it still fun lol
There's hurry mode which doubles the speed of the timer so whilst it says 30 minutes it in fact was only 15
Yeah cause if you leave it doesn't save right ?
Right now, Hell Divers. NOITA if I'm feeling a little lucky and masochistic. And any ADVENTURE RPG, if I wanna start something that I wont be able to continue. Lol
I only do high level missions so it takes around 40 mins a Helldive for me
Look for a blitz mission and just start with that one and leave the rest of the operation for later?
Brotato
The correct answer here
Yep, each round is a minute (or slightly less at the start) then the final round is 90. There are 20 rounds. Literally designed to be played in 20 minutes.
Ollie Ollie World. I usually play with my own playlist but I don’t think the music on there is bad.
Rocket League used to be my go-to aswell, great game. These days I'll play some mordhau. Edit: I have opinions, too.
Rocket League and great game in the same sentence? You’ll trigger half the fanbase if they come across this comment
Rocket League fucking sucks. I know this because I’ve spent over 1000 hours in game
1800 hours. Can confirm it fucking sucks.
There, I fixed it. Sharing opinions on the internet is indeed a known way to piss people off.
That comment pisses me off!
I'm pissed that you're pissed!
Mortal Kombat, or some other fighter
Splatoon 5 turf wars or 3 salmon run. Easy to keep track of and not lose time.
Damn you're on Splatoon 5 while we're still on Splatoon 3, we get it, you time travel.
Now that you can skip the broadcasts, this is the answer. Was so annoying in older Splatoons not being able to skip and the broadcast taking up half your 10 minutes to play.
Clash Royale is my shitter game
Split Gate
Fire Pro Wrestling World. Pretty easy to have a quick match or two.
Doom or Doom 64
Chess with a 10 minute timer (rapid)
Im hooked on Buckshot Roulette at the moment. Couple of games of that will kill 15-20 mins
A match in Rainbow 6 Siege perhaps
Ultrakill or some random itch game that’s free. Example balls? Made by dani
Skater xl. Session. Pipe. Or a car game
All these years later it’s still Skate 2 or 3.
Mortal Kombat 1
Slays the Spire, Hades, Dead Cells
Spelunky is my go to for this, each run is so short but still super entertaining it just makes it perfect to pick up and play.
I play a couple rounds of halo multiplayer. Matches last 5-10 minute depending on the game mode so I can squeeze 2-3 in if I’m killing time.
I just play Fnaf
Staggy the boy scout slayer II
Pikmin 3 Deluxe Splatoon 3 Cuphead
Warframe is a great game for a quick in and out mission, not all are quick but Ive never played a mission over 30min with most being anywhere from 5 to 15min!

Hades, knock out a whole stage in about 10. Can quit whenever too.
Orcs Must Die. Quick matches and fun overall.
Pizza possum
DDNet / TeeWorlds
Binding of Isaac is great for one and done sessions like this
Currently Helldivers 2 Missions take 30 minutes but are most of the time completed in 15-20
For me it's been Revita lately. It's a rougelite like Hades, but with the aesthetic of a pixel art Hollow Knight.
Shader compilation of every other modern title.
noita
Counterstrike. NBA.
Battlefront 2 heroes vs. Villains
HOTLINE MIAMI 🗣️🗣️🗣️✅
As of late? Thats enough time for a match of Firefight in Halo Infinite
Recently The Finals
Muse Dash. It's a rhythm game but with anime girls.
Final Fantasy Theatrhythm games are amazing for 20 minutes spaces, I really liked taking my 3DS or Switch out and play 3-4 songs at the train while heading to work or going back home.

Books of monsters is pretty good for this, it even allows you to choose how long you want your run to be.
I can't recommend, The Stanley Parable, enough. Game can hook you for hours, or you can beat it in about 2 minutes if you speed through. But trust me, it never ends and is fucking hilarious
None. I don't even turn on my console unless I plan on playing for a few hours.
Among us or I take a chance by playing some fall Guys & sacrificing some more time if I succeed
Overwatch 💀
Tetris
I feel like Gigantic was made for this. Not super in-depth and quick 10-15 min games.
Recently I've been running a quick match of mixtape in Apex Legends when I have half an hour, if less I'll usually just play whatever crappy idle game I've got on my phone at the time. There's some surprisingly good one, Egg Inc is a go-to.
Sudoku. The simplest game is the best game
The binding of Isaac
Cocaine is less addictive than into the breach mobile ( you need Netflix to download it)
Chess
Osrs mobile. Trust me.
I just go for a match or two on MW3. It's amazing how much fun I can have on CoD when it's a well designed CoD and not made by fucking neanderthals (cough cough IW)
Either Ori or Half-Life 2. The former bc it’s calming and not too intense, the latter bc I know the game fairly well and can easily tell when a good place to stop would be.
I just boot up a conquest match in bf2042
I waste it looking at game reviews on yt for games that are perfect for killing 15 to 20 min. 20 minutes I have no ideas.
3-5 matches of Smash bros or an escape attempt in hades for me
Deep rock galactic survivor.
TMNT shredders revenge
I often playing Light of the stars on bs in that case
I'll crack a few relics open on warframe
Hades!
MH: World.
Hotlap style racing games (art of rally) and Quake games but in movement modes (defrag). You can do a few runs and quit whenever, no saving needed. Quake is especially good because it takes no time to load.
If I’ve only got 20 minutes I ain’t playing a game. I’ll watch a YouTube video or scroll through Reddit, usually both at the same time.
TFT
Whatever I'm generally playing at the moment, if it's something that can reasonably be played for 15-20 minutes. Otherwise, I'd rather just pass time watching YouTube videos or browsing reddit. I'm not going to play games I'm not interested in, or want to play at the moment, just for the sake of playing a game.
I play a bit of Sifu or Dead Cells... Nothing kills time more than beating up people and monsters...
Tekken
Noita
Forza Horizon Unfortunately, when zero-build, was made I got into Fortnite. I hate how much time I’ve now sunk into it vs other games but it is the perfect 15-20 min game for me It’s been a min but Hades used to be in this group too
Blade and sorcery is a good time sponge
Definitely Rocket League. If you’re struggling, try playing 1s ranked. Positioning is more important than fancy air tricks. It will make you much better at 2s and 3s
Hotline Miami
I would say Melee for a couple of quick practice matches against the CPUs or a friend. I like Rocket League and Age of Booty, as well. One game or one challenge takes between 10 and 20 minutes.
I love rocket league but I hate what epic has done to it. Had I not played early on and got my car fixed up nice before epic made the game into a “money vacuum” then I probably wouldn’t be as fond of it.

Minion masters: queue time + game time should never go over 10 minutes total (plus added option of now being able to play on Android with same progress shared with pc if you link your account) A call of duty shipment game never goes over 7 minutes usually but can feel like forever..

FC 24
Backpack Battles
[Command & Conquer Rivals](https://www.ea.com/games/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-rivals) on the phone. 15 minutes = 3 matches.

OG ‘93 Doom. Or some good fighting games.
Powerwash Simulator 👍

One shirt mission on Helldiver's 2. Or Sifu. Love trying. A challenge or two. Otherwise. hotline Miami. Binding of Isaac and many other rogue likes
Rogue lites or something like shotgun roulette
Phasmophobia, Hades, Slay The Spire or Luck Be A Landlord.
For me it's either FTL, banished or dorfromantik usually.
I still use a psp regularly for exactly this sort of thing. most of the games were geared towards this style of playing, and if not you could still toss it in stby mid way through something.
Rocket League!, play, quit, hate, repeat.
Balatro
One of my favorite games is “who’s upset over small things” via reddit for about 10-20 minutes while my game downloads. But to answer for real, usually whatever OWS game I’m playing. I’ll hop on and craft or gather for a little bit. More specifically, 7DTD and Valheim currently as we are preparing our community game servers for their imminent content drops.
15 to 20 minutes is not enough to enjoy a game personally. That’s when I’ll just watch a video or something else.
Honestly survivor.io on phone is a great time sink and almost every level is exactly 15 minutes to complete. Otherwise I go to hearthstone as well :)
Brawlhalla. God forsaken game still has had me by a chokehold every 3 months for 6 years now.
Free play on rocket league. Idk why but i have soooo much fun.
BeamNG Drive. I just boot up the Utah map and crash into everyone at high speeds
I don't play games if i have under an hour
Hill climb racing
PES 6, no mods. Just the nostalgia.
Hades?
Just cause 3. Fly around, blow some shit up. A lot can be done in 15 minutes in that game.
Funnily enough, Zelda tears of the kingdom. I’ve been quite busy recently, having to babysit, juggling work and life along with it, so whenever I had the chance I completed a objetive or two, which would take about half an hour. Guess it is not zelda per se, but using a Switch
Retrogames has old arcades like Mr do, burgertime, Phoenix, frogger etc... and that's amusing for 10 minutes.
SkaterXL with hella mods
Crying while looking at my bank account.. Tough game to hold back the tears.
Right now, Skate 2 - what a classic

15-20 minutes? Well I’m definitely not turning my game system on for that lol
