Casual game recommendations? (beehaw.org)

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).

Stardew Valley is a really chill and fun game. You can talk to the towns people but don't have to and the dialogue is all very short if you do.

Yeah, I've played that game to death at this point, I'm afraid.

I'll also add Urbek City Builder. It's a city building game but it's a more simplified one. Resource management is very easy and you can build your city as fast or as slow as you need.
