Some video games require extra focus, while others are much more relaxing and players can turn down the volume to listen to their favorite podcasts. With these games, players can enjoy playing the game while listening to their favorite in the background.

There are some video games that don’t require that much focus, nor have too many texts to read or cutscenes to watch, which make them the perfect games to play while doing something else such as listening to a podcast.

Here are some of the best video games to play while listening to a podcast.

1. Hades

Hades is a dungeon crawler roguelike in which combat is the core of the gameplay. Regardless of how intense the gameplay is, Hades is a great game to play while listening to podcasts.

Since Hades has minimal dialogues, players can do other things or listen to music or podcasts in the background while playing this game.

2. Animal Crossing: New Horizon

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a very different game from Hades. This game puts players on an island where they can build their own homes.

This game is quite addictive as the objectives are quite fun to complete so players won't have problems carrying out the missions for hours.

The relaxing gameplay makes it the perfect choice to play while listening to podcasts such as Deddy Corbuzier's Close The Door.

3. Sid Meier’s: Civilization VI

For those of you who are new to the Civilization game series, you may find Civilization VI a bit too complicated as you’ll see so many texts that you must read to understand various aspects of the game. However, there will come a time when you can play without even reading the text.

When players are at that stage, Civilization VI becomes an ideal game to play while listening to podcasts.

4. Dinkum

Next up is Dinkum, a casual game that's quite similar to Animal Crossing: New Horizon. Dinkum is the perfect alternative for those of you who don't have a Nintendo Switch yet are looking to experience the addictive gameplay of Animal Crossing: New Horizon on PC.

Just like ACNH, in Dinkum, players will be put on an island and tasked with building their own paradise.

5. Almost Every Platformer

If you're looking for a game that has fewer texts, dialogues, or cutscenes, the platformer genre is a great place to start. While there are a few exceptions, most platformers don't have too much of a complicated story and only give players simple objectives

6. Farming Simulator Series

The Farming Simulator series has had a major influence on the simulator genre in recent years. The franchise rose to popularity 10 years ago, featuring rather simple yet very fun gameplay.

Since you won't be dealing with too many complicated things to play the game, the Farming Simulator series is very suitable for those of you who want to play games while listening to podcasts or watching videos on YouTube.

7. The Witness

The Witness is an open-world puzzle game designed by Jonathan Blow, best known for his work on the highly influential indie game, Braid.

The only sounds in this game are mostly ambient sounds, with hardly any music to listen to. While listening to podcasts or music can be distracting from playing puzzle games, you won't have that problem with The Witness.

Players are free to explore the island and solve puzzles at their own pace and ability.

8. Microsoft Flight Simulator

Another great simulator game to play while listening to podcasts is Microsoft Flight Simulator. The game was released for PC in 2020 and received positive reviews.

Much like Farming Simulator, this game may initially require players to spend a little over an hour learning all the controls and mechanics. But after that, players can embark on a journey and explore locations in the world while listening to their favorite podcasts.

9. Minecraft

Minecraft is a widely popular survival game. Minecraft's creative and survival modes are ideal for listening to podcasts while playing alone. You can kill time by building structures or mining diamonds in this game.

10. Football Manager 2022

For some, Football Manager 2022 may be a bit tedious of a game that it may feel like you're working. There's no music or noise other than the noise of the crowd during the match and the press conference, giving an impression of a real job.

Due to the lack of sound, this game is perfect for playing while listening to podcasts while viewing spreadsheets and in-game data.
