We need to decide on a genre name for Vampire Survivors-like games before a really terrible one sticks (www.pcgamer.com)

This feels like the modern bathroom book as a game. Fun but just enough to be over when you have finished something more worth your time.

Sometimes that's just what you need. Vampire survivors is my go to for when I burnt out from work and don't want to think anymore but need something to do.

Oh for sure. I actually discovered vampire survivors after finding its mobile clones and liked them all but for 20 minutes at a time.

Once I tried to play the OG I just couldn't help but think of it as a passive game though and it lost my interest for long term play sessions. I think it's an import point that they are passive.

Yeah it's not something you play all day. I usually pick one or two of the challenges to do and by then I'm either de-stressed enough to do something else or I just go to bed.

Nice, yeah I get it. I keep struggling to play my much slower games when it's that late part of night and have decided to beat all my Roguelikes I have, but I can't help but admit I'd rather be playing Katamari Damacy.
Now that's how I destress. But that's very passive.
