I’m trying to think of some games that one could “easily” play while engaging in conversations with others or while listening to podcasts, etc. In other words, the gameplay doesn’t require you to listen to it, do any reading, or really need to do any deep thinking in order for you to be good at it.
I’m thinking of Vampire Survivors, Hades (ignoring the story), probably Diablo IV (although I haven’t played any Diablo since 1998). Solitaire would fit under this category but Minesweeper - at least for me - would not because I have to think about my next move.
Any others?
