Recommendations for games to listen to audiobooks to?
I recently got a Steamdeck and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of games that take almost 0 brainpower to play so that I can focus on listening to audiobooks.
For me that means no dialogue and no text to read. Games that have worked for me so far are:
Rocket League (difficult to play on Steamdeck)
Vampire Survivors (once I learned what each item does)
Peggle
Games that I've had trouble with include
Sifu
Brotato (gotta read to learn the items)
Factorio
Baba is You
Games I have yet to really try:
Elite Dangerous
Elden Ring
Dorf Romantik (this is promising)
Powerwash Simulator (also promising)
RollerDrome
Halo: MCC online (is Halo 3 online viable on steamdeck?)
Risk of Rain 2
Hades
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm running out of ideas and may end up just forgoing this hole idea in favor of keeping gaming and books separate
Admittedly, some of the games I'm about to mention take time to get good enough at to turn your brain off, but here's some of my favorites for listening to audiobooks.
Bloons TD6
Any roguelite - currently I'm loving balatro and spelunky 2
Backpack battles
Tetris Effect
Mario sports games
Mini Metro
Kingdom
In general, I find it helpful to tell yourself that it's totally okay to "lose." When you are listening to an audiobook, you should be spending most of your attention on that. You don't need to take the game seriously.
