Hello there!

I'm one of those people who enjoys half-watching let's plays or reviews whilst playing a game in another window.
I've generally played rogue-likes such as BOI and Spelunky, but looking for something different, and am just wondering if any one has any suggestions :)
I don't just mean something you don't have to focus on or watch much - as often I can ignore the lets play video and just listen to the audio whilst watching the game I'm playing. But also stuff that simply runs well whilst windowed.

Appreciate any suggestions! Have a good day :)

i always play diablo 3 windowed while chatting or watching a vid. :3
tower defense games are also playable while doing something else.

Yeah I've had Diablo 3 suggested before but never played it as I've never really played that style of game before. But perhaps today is the time to begin!
Thanks for the suggestions :)

If you haven't played it yet you will be have a good time of fun through the campaign, and after you be interested in looking into forums for best builds to play higher difficulties, rifts and greater rifts... you will have a good amount of fun until its get repetitive.

Came to say Diablo 3. I play it windowed too. It can get a lot boring (as any arpg) so its nice to be able to alt + tab fast and watch vids, chat, browse internet, etc...

I play alot of my games in windows mode while i watch tv programs, actually there are many that can be played windowed.
I suggest Hero Siege or Unepic.

I guess AdVenture Capitalist would be a good option.

I have a special category in my library for this kinda thing actually. I've got BoI as well, then GMod, Starbound, and Rogue Legacy. There are other games I've been wanting to use for this like FTL or XCOM, but I haven't gotten around to trying yet. Seems like they would work well enough.

Weird Worlds - Return to Infinite Space is a fun spaceship rogue-like that works well windowed.

Any grindy games like MOBAs, MMOs, looters would fill that role. As people said, Diablo is a good example, or Borderlands. Games that require about zero thinking and don't rely on twitch reflexes like console shooters, so you can do anything next to them.

LYNE. You play / watch a movie, and every now and then spend 1-2 minute on your current puzzle :)

Other than Spelunky?
You can try Brogue - it's kinda cool.
Maybe try some turn-based RPG's? They usually don't require too much atention :)
One game that I always played in window mode (because it's was that small) was Bombie Zombie...
At the IE lessons in school I always played it - it's pretty simple, yet really fun. Try at least few seconds of it ;)

Anything turn-based, like Civilizations.

I usually use Hearthstone for this xD
That's a Blizzard card turn-based strategy, very interesting one.

I love Hearthstone, but I usually get too sucked into it and monitoring the game to pay attention to anything else ha!

For me it might be Faster Than Light. It's not so absorbing that I need to have it on full screen, so I check other things in the web from time to time* :P

*things like chatting on fb or browsing job offers, I never watch anything while playing - if I'm watching some movie or tv show I like to focus fully into it

Ah yes, Faster Than Light was one of the first games I had on steam! Great suggestion though, perhaps I should go back to navigating my way through space slugs again sometime :)

Well, actually, now I feel urge to play it again :D I have my share of fun on GOG version so now it would be nice to add some game time on steam ;) Also, I heard about a game called Convoy About this game: Convoy is a tactical roguelike-like inspired by Mad Max and FTL in which you cross a wasteland in search of parts for your broken ship. I haven't played it yet but what's not to love in this description? :D I will have to buy it on next winter sale ;P

Nekopara- the window is half so you can hide it when anyone comes by to see what you're doing!
