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.

LOL, I just posted this like ten minutes ago!

I think all the games you mentioned require a lot more thought than I'm looking to give- I need to be able to follow a podcast while playing, and I'm in my 50s, my brain is not as agile as it used to be anymore. I also suck at physics puzzles and card games.

I think I might have posted this to the wrong thread. Sorry about that.
