I'm going to do these periodically.
Title kinda says all.
I'll have my own reply later.

It's like a game that you play mostly for the mechanical feel (ignoring the plot or whatever) while you listen to a podcast or audiobook.
Shit, I need that in my life then. Got any other recommendations? And maybe for podcasts as well?
Podcast games are generally games that you are very good at, but also require input at only one level. That's why being very good at the game helps a game become a podcast game, you can turn off your brain to the plot or thinking parts of the game and just vibe on instincts.
So rogue like games often become podcast games for me. But only after I've mastered the loop and the plot isn't happening.
For me diablo games and it's clones. Slay the spire, enter the gungeon, monster hunter. Vampire survivor type games can be good but sometimes you get focused on completing objectives which can mean I lose focus on the podcast for the game. The second playthru of a dark souls type game are usually good podcast games too. Or anything where you're grinding for a bit to earn levels.
Saving this comment. Thanks!
Vehicle sim games like MS Flight Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator often fill this niche for me. Stuff where you're not also focused on racing or combat. I also like digital adaptations of board games: Root and Wingspan are some current favorites.
Since this is the Games comm, I'll recommend some gaming related podcasts:
Abnormal Mapping
Remap Radio
Journal Updated
Checking these three out then, but I can't promise I'll listen to all of them yet; I'm going through some other podcasts right now.
