Casual Games to Play During a Call (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for some casual games to play while I’m on a call with a friend. I want something super chill that doesn’t require too much focus or brainpower. I’ve tried Shapez.io, but it felt a bit too complex for what I’m looking for. Minecraft vanilla survival is also a no-go since it demands a bit more attention than I want to give right now.

Any recommendations for games that are easy to pick up and play, where I can just relax and enjoy the conversation without getting too caught up in the gameplay?

Thanks in advance!

I recommend PowerWash Simulator (Steam link). Sometimes when I'm completely wrecked from work, I'll sit and play this, while I chill in a Discord VC with friends. Sometimes both my girlfriend and I will play it multiplayer, while hanging with our friends in Discord. Really nice and relaxing game.

My wife calls these her "high games":

Donut county
Katamari
Unpacking
Luna's fishing garden

Mine:

Goat Simulator
Gorillaz Geep flash game (I could play this for hours and there is no goal, just feels like driving in GTA without consequence)

Balatro just came out on mobile. Might be a bit too much focusing if you're really into min-maxing though.

Why not just take the phone call without a game?

Good point, but still I want to play a game.

He's sugarcoting it. He needs a game next time his mom calls and tells him a two hour medical story about his aunts wart removal.

A Little to the Left

Edit: forgot to suggest a game
