Pokémon, via emulation.
I'm playing Ultra Moon on the Steam Deck and it's wonderful and chill.

I've started playing Infinite Fusion this week and it's really fun!
Hades has been pretty fun
that has all kinds of engaging dialouge. The story and characters is a huge piece of the appeal.
Yes! I revel upon receiving a nectar

Planet Coaster has a pretty casual, fun gameplay. Just building theme parks and some light crowd management. It is very good for playing while listening to other podcasts/audiobooks.
I love ARPGs for this. Path of Exile and Last Epoch both have a highly repeatable endgame where you can just put on your media and blast maps/monoliths mindlessly for a few hours
Snow Runner! Very chill if you like driving and nice sceneries. But it becomes Dark Souls real quick.
I really enjoy basebuilders for relaxing. It's often just the right mix between just enjoying watching how stuff works, or solving problems at my own pace (being able to slow down, speed up or pause whenever needed). If you're interested in this genre I can recommend Timberborn, Against the Storm, Factorio - ascending by complexity.
Some of the paradox games maybe? I used to chill over Victoria II whilst doing things I really ought to have been giving my full attention.
Vampire Survivors for sure! It's a very chill arcade game and it's like 2-3€ when on sale.
Celeste can be quite casual and also challenging at the same time.
You can die as many times and the game doesn't punish you, you can save at any point and come back exactly where you lef off later.

Dead Cells was my go-to podcast game for quite a while! Story tidbits are few and far between, and it’s more about finding your stride in subsequent runs. There’s a lot of DLC that often goes on sale too.
Kartrider is a well developed Mariokart like game that is basically on all platforms (except Switch obviously).
Part of my daily routine is to play Forza Horizon 5 while both listening to podcasts and working out on an elliptical machine every morning. I’m doing it on an Xbox, but it’s available on PC too. This kind of game is totally playable while listening to podcasts and still actually being able to follow what’s going on in the podcast.
how do you play forza while on an elliptical?! i feel like this could revolutionize my workout game.
