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.

Many roguelites could fall into this category, and are generally cheap to boot (i.e. vampire survivors).

Any other games that you recommend?

I would just look through any number of online list of "Best Swarm Survivors". There's dozens of different themes and tweaks from the VS formula, including boat and train varieties! I also watch the YouTube channel Never Nathaniel as he's a pretty awesome source of both info and entertainment on the matter (as well as other games). He's literally the only streamer I've watched and I couldn't tell you why, his formula just works.
