Here is a personal selection of excellent little games more or less known; for those who like to do a few sessions from 10 to 20 minutes, without time constraints.

(Understand without having to play 40 minutes before seeing a checkpoint)

Playable at 4 (solo mode is possible, other players are led by the AI, but it’s funless). You lead a hero who must reach the end of the dungeon.

But haunted by the ghosts of other players who take on the role of monsters to kill the hero and take his place.

Awesome Pixel art, tons of weapons and monsters to unlock, monster levelling fun. Buy it, buy it back (on switch), eat it.

A mix of shoot em up, infiltration, rogue like and RPG.Clear enough? No. That’s normal.

Unlikely concept where the robbery of gigantic ships is planned using plans and purchased tips.

While looking to see if it is better to destroy the shield room first or the sentinel room that will be spawned if the alarm goes off.

All on board an armed exoskeleton with everything you could have bought with the help of previous robberies.

A little gem from a French studio, which takes up the basics of Castlevania: Symphony of the night, with its multi-equipment gameplay and its capabilities that are unlocked as the game progresses to access other passages.

It adds a rogue like dimension, with randomly created levels, death that makes you start all over again but keeping the weapons and bonuses unlocked.

Add to that some beautiful 2D and all you have to do is fall in love.

An excellent game, with a basic and terribly effective gameplay:

You play a character class in 1 vs 1, right key to attack, left key to block.

Add to that stats, opportune moments to type (and also to be countered), bonuses/malus, and a special skill per character if you leave the right key pressed. Fearsome!

Totally crazy Run’n Gun, where the gameplay is essentially based on slides.

To get covered, to break down doors, to tackle people: everything is based on the slide.

Nervous, funny, full of stupid jokes, and replayable thanks to characters with different gameplay and internship challenges. What are the people asking for? To play it.

Action game packed with bonuses and characters to unlock that gets harder and harder as time goes by.

The more time you spend, the more you unlock items; the character’s rise in power becomes really exhilarating, but as the difficulty also increases with the past time you have to choose: either pick upgrades, or draw straight to the bosses… ge-ni-ous.
