Could be a genre, a developer/publisher, or franchise. What's the video game equivalent of fast, not particularly good, but maybe a guilty pleasure?

Any game like vampire survivors.
Passive bullet hells.

Literally people say its the thing they play when they dont have the energy for something else the way that people use fast food to replace cooking.
Easy to spin up and there are so many knockoffs that are "fine" but barely different.

It's easy and pretty much automatic but filled with dopamine giving stimuli even if it wears off really fast. It makes it about as addictive as fast food too.
