What are your most favourite casual games for PSP?

[YurokashitheBandit]

Asking this because I have a bunch of PSP ROMs but most of them are story-based games and I only use PPSSPP on my phone when I'm waiting around, so playing a story-based game isn't always the best option, y'know?

What are your most favourite casual games that can be played at any time without needing constant attention or having a story that's super in-depth? Like, just pick-up-and-play?

Update: Oh shit thank you all so much for all the replies!!! I will definitely check these out!! :D

I would say that Me & My Katamari meets the requirements you are looking for. Just a note that the game may be uncomfortable to play on a cell phone screen. But it is quite casual and the levels are quite short, not exceeding 10 minutes.

Ooh…okay
-Daxter (killing bugs and platforming)
-GTA Vice City and Liberty City Stories
-Metal Slug Anthology and XX
-God Eater Burst and 2
-Monster Hunter series (I recommend 3rd Portable though)

 

[Karnik]

Parodius Portable, Gradius Collection and Salamander Portable.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy

yes it has story, but also a way to play a quick match or some arcade for 3 - 10 minutes.

Another one is Ridge Racer 2, where the game asks you how long you want to play. And depending on that it will create you a set of races, super neat.

LocoRoco or Motorstorm when I want some racing.

 

[Stookymalarkey]

I'd recommend Burnout Legends if you like racing. Half-minute Hero is another recommendation.

 

[Cu-Neo]

The two god of wars games, the three Battlefront games, Phantasy Star Portable 1 and Infinity, Crisis core, Daxter, Ratchet and clank size matters, Agent Clank and Jak the lost frontier.
Those are the games that I play when I want to relax a little.

WTF (Work Time Fun), is a wacky minigame collection that pokes fun at menial chores.

This was one of the earliest PSP games, but I remember it being fun in really short bursts.

PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient 2

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

Boku no Natsuyasumi 4.

 

[middler]

I will always recommend Archer Maclean's Mercury. One of my all time faves for the PSP.

 

[Stingy Perry]

Lumines 1 & 2 great puzzle games you should try if you just wanna chill and relax.

 

[raiden_dj]

 

[Yoru Momo]

I'd say Echochrome, Echoshift, LocoRoco 2, Gerumin.

-Metal Slug Anthology and XX
-Monster Hunter series
-Gradius Collection

Those games are casual in the same sense as Dark Souls.
