I love podcasts but my hands need something to do when I'm just at home and have something I want to listen to. My go to game for the least 3 years has been Skater XL because there is no "losing" the game, its just skateboarding, if you beef it you just try it again or do something else
Definitely Monster Hunter. If you want to do the endgame quests, you'll need to grind. If you're going to grind, you'll probably want something else in your head besides the battle music and monster sfx
