Snow Runner! Very chill if you like driving and nice sceneries. But it becomes Dark Souls real quick.

Warframe is good for this. Lots of ways to tune your level of engagement through build choices. Most content rarely requires your full attention and story is only progressed in specific story missions that you usually play only once.
Mordhau is definitely one of few casual games medieval fighting game where you can mindlessly kill other players and laugh your ass off. But at the same time its the type of game you can get really good at too. So it has a very in depth combat experience
Part of my daily routine is to play Forza Horizon 5 while both listening to podcasts and working out on an elliptical machine every morning. I’m doing it on an Xbox, but it’s available on PC too. This kind of game is totally playable while listening to podcasts and still actually being able to follow what’s going on in the podcast.

Planet Coaster has a pretty casual, fun gameplay. Just building theme parks and some light crowd management. It is very good for playing while listening to other podcasts/audiobooks.
TBH Minecraft Parkour in the Hypixel server's housing area are good for this. I usually play one until I starts getting hard/finish then switch to the next one while I'm watching YouTube.
Dead Cells was my go-to podcast game for quite a while! Story tidbits are few and far between, and it’s more about finding your stride in subsequent runs. There’s a lot of DLC that often goes on sale too.
Kartrider is a well developed Mariokart like game that is basically on all platforms (except Switch obviously).
I love to play from time to time Banished with podcasts. Once you figure out how to survive then it's just "how much can I build on a map before my PC explodes".
Ostriv seems nice too, but it's still in alpha, so weird things happen like villagers going out to buy candles or soap and returning with shoes.
