Games with mindless activities or grind.

Howdy,

After finishing the story of Death Stranding 2 I found myself going for the platinum trophy as I so often find myself doing these days.

Within an hour or so I realised that getting all of the facilities to 5 stars was going to be a very long, and very drawn out process. And considering that I had built nearly all of the roads and monorails it was going to be very, very mindless.

So, I connected my headset to the PC bluetooth and started catching up on my Youtube video backlog and threw in a few episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philly for good measure whilst I went through these missions. This went on for well over a week and I honestly really enjoyed this combo of mindless gameplay and watching stuff - to the extent that I am now looking for new games which have that same loop.

I had actually already done this with Snowrunner a few years ago - but I have played that to death by now and need something new.

So - does anyone know of anything that will fit the bill? I don't mind how long it is - The games would preferably be something that can be played without needing to listen to conversations etc.

I don't mind looking at MMOs either but I'd prefer they're free to play as I don't have PS Plus at the moment.

Thanks!

You know what I've actually played one of these last year and you're right. Thanks - it's on the list!

Not really much mindless or a grind tho.. Destiny 2 maybe? Warframe? Or the first descendant?

PS I got the platinum on DS2 as well.. :D that Mr Impossible last mission and the adventurer ones were a ballache.

Yeah I did think of The First Descendant to be honest. I'll have to look into it a bit more.

And I agree about the Mr Impossible thing lol. I failed that mission on my first attempt. I was very upset.

I tried playing this last year and I found it so boring. But, maybe if I watch something at the same time it might help... I'll give it another go seen as I already own it.
