I’m looking for PC games that I can play while listening to podcasts- games that don’t have engaging cut scenes or important dialogue, games that honestly don’t require a lot of skill or thought.

I used to be really into things like Farm Frenzy, Rescue Team, hidden object games, that kind of thing. I got heavily into MMOs and stopped downloading casual games for a decade or so.

Now it almost feels like this sort of game isn’t made anymore? Were they completely nuked by the existence of Gacha games, P2W, and anything that earns the dev a constant income stream? I’m happy to pay for a game once, but I can’t be constantly buying booster packs.

I also don’t want to play on mobile or on a console, PC Master Race here, haha.

    Diablo games are easy to play while listening/watching other things. Diablo 4 does have a story, but you don’t need to watch it if you don’t want to. And after it’s beaten, the story will never bother you again. Diablo 2 Remaster is also great if you’re feeling a bit more old school.

      For D3, I know some (most?) people would hate it but I absolutely love mindlessly blasting through rifts over and over again while listening to something.
