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.

Eufloria is that game for me.

Dang, I haven’t read that name in a literal decade. When was it last updated?

I guess they added a few levels to Eufloria HD in 2020, 9 years after release.

Turmoil:

It’s a 2d game where you drill for oil, then have some light logistics management to do to load it in to barrels on horse waggons and then sell it. It’s a lot of fun.

I use Shattered Pixel Dungeon for this. Nice and simple open source game without any bullshit. It’s a roguelike.
