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.
Last month I wanted to get into Vampire Survivors. But there was this other game I saw all the time, Brotato. After reading reviews about both games, I decided to play Brotato. And off course the price was never the issue, only my time. I'll expand to other games later. Players said that Brotato has enemies in waves, with Pause in between to upgrade. I liked that idea more, which gave it a little bit of tactical note. Also the builds and characters you can choose in the beginning have huge implications and changes the playstyle dramatically.
So my suggestion is, have a look at Brotato. The other game suggestions I got last months have not played yet.
