Can you recommend sci fi indie games with no story for casual gamers?

One example could be 'No Man's Sky' in a sense. Although it has some overarching concepts, the gameplay can be very much about exploration and discovery without a strict linear story dictating your actions. You can just fly around different planets, trade, and build bases.

Sure. 'Angry Birds' is a well - known single player game with no story for casual gamers. You just launch birds at pigs to destroy their structures. It's easy to pick up and play. Another good one is 'Cut the Rope'. In this game, you cut ropes to feed a little monster. It doesn't have a complex story, just simple and fun gameplay. 'Fruit Ninja' is also great. You slash fruits as they appear on the screen, no story involved at all.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Although more of a life - simulation game, it has a story in the sense that you are building a community on your island. You interact with various animal villagers, and there are events and goals to achieve throughout the year.

For casual gamers, 'Brawlhalla' is a great choice. The story mode is not too difficult and has a fun narrative about the different characters. 'Warframe' can also be enjoyable. You can take your time to explore the story, which is about a war - torn sci - fi universe and your role as a Tenno. 'Path of Exile' has a lot of depth in its story, but you can play at your own pace. There are different quests and areas to discover that gradually unfold the story of the dark fantasy world.

Sure. 'Stardew Valley' is a great choice. It's a farming simulator where you inherit a run - down farm. As you build it up, you interact with the local villagers, and there are many storylines related to friendship, love, and the secrets of the town. It's very relaxing and has a heartwarming story. Another is 'Among Us'. While the main gameplay is about finding the impostor, there's an underlying story about the crewmates' mission and the threat of the impostors that can be quite interesting for casual play.

Pac - Man. It has a very basic premise of a little yellow circle eating dots and avoiding ghosts. There's no elaborate story here, just pure arcade - style gameplay that's easy to pick up and play for short bursts.

Among Us can be considered too. It's a multiplayer game where you're either a crewmate or an impostor on a spaceship. The goal is to complete tasks or deceive others respectively. There's no real story, and it's easy and fun for casual gamers to jump into.

Sure. One great indie - published sci - fi novel is 'The Martian' by Andy Weir. It was self - published initially and later became a huge hit. Another is 'Ancillary Justice' by Ann Leckie which also started as an indie work and won multiple awards. There's also 'Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline which was self - published at first and is full of amazing sci - fi concepts.

Stardew Valley also has a great story. You inherit a run - down farm and work to restore it. Along the way, you build relationships with the townspeople, and there are little mysteries and events that keep the story interesting. It's easy to pick up and play.

For casual gamers, 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' is a good choice. It has a simple and relaxing story about building your own island community. 'Stardew Valley' also has a great story. You inherit a farm and gradually build relationships with the villagers while uncovering the secrets of the valley. Another one is 'Unpacking'. It's a very casual game where the story is told through unpacking items in different rooms as you progress through different stages of life.
