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.

I have 1700 hours in OG Skyrim. I moved on to Elder Scrolls Online and now can't bear the way faces look in Skyrim. :-P

    ESO was going to be my recommendation.

    I've gotten to CP 1928 almost exclusively by doing crafting writs on ESO, every day, for seven years, while listening to podcasts. But doing the quests while listening to podcasts is not possible for me, because I like to actually follow the plotlines.
