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.

  • Honestly a game called Carto. It’sa very relaxing game where you don’t battle, you don’t die and there is no “fail and restart scenarios”. It’s isometric puzzle adventure game where you can change the level you are exploring by literally going to the map screen and then rotate and move the map tiles around.

    The point of the game is to collect more map tiles so you are able to fit them together in a way that solves the level and you move on.

    It’s great.
