Already played it, on NG+++ but starting a new legacy might be fun.
Woah, didn't even think of that. Don't think it's available on the PS4, though. Had it on Vita/PS3, but my parents use my PS3 and I sold my Vita.
But man, do I want to play Luftrausers now.

Destiny. Also any of the gather quests in Ubisoft games. Driveclub or any other racer too.
Grinding in RPGs is always mindless. I watched the behavioural evolution Stanford lecture series while levelling in Xenoblade, and the soundtrack to Dragon Age Inquisition for me was an audio book reading of a Confederacy of Dunces.

This. Leveling up alts is the perfect opportunity to listen to podcasts. It's how I do it.

What the hell is a podcast and why do people listen to them?
Is it just people talking?

It's just on-demand radio in episodic form. People listen to them because they are entertaining.

podcast aka " sports radio "
" mindless " to me is more geared toward the game that really requires little skill to enjoy and there really is no penalty for losing. So basically any competitive shooter. Mindlessly run out into the field of battle, press a button when pointed at the enemy, throw some grenades, hope you get a kill, die, rinse and repeat

I don't really play them so much anymore, but the lego games used to be really good to just turn on and smash stuff while you listen to a podcast. Although the modern ones have talking now so I imagine that that might get in the way a bit.
Quoting myself from another thread here.
Wanted to say Warhammer 40k Space Marine (god tier game) but if you only have a PS4 then I'll have to say Diablo 3, Ochecabara Z2 (however you spell that crazy name) or any Musou game.
Edit. How the hell did I forget Hotline Miami games?
They are perfect, you get into this Zen state of mind and go on and on, there might be a little bit of frustration sometimes but it's just so good.

Earth Defense Force (PS3, Vita, PS4 incoming). Good fun and easy to play without all of your attention.

I only got a ps4 at the moment. My own "mindless games list":
Minecraft
Rogue Legacy
Driveclub
Diablo 3
Sometimes GTAV, but then I mostly just get in a car and drive around, enjoying the view.
I mostly listens to them because there are a lot of good debates, interesting stories (like Serial), and it is a good, somewhat passiv and easy way to learn new things and being updated on news.

After I got a little bored of Diablo 3, my podcast gaming switched entirely over to Destiny.
Yep, pretty much You dont have control over engagements, so You need to build character over sustaining damage.
Progression is as linear as You can make it in ARPG, so there is not much decision making either.
End game pretty much focus on using skills and items that deals AOE damage to almost whole screen, so targeting is not an issue either for the most part.

I generally use Gran Turismo (6 at this point) or Diablo III (yes I know its in the OP) or Minecraft on Peaceful difficulty or even GTA5 and just drive around doing anything but Story Missions.
WTF, it's not easy on the brain to decide the next turn.

I've been playing Torchlight 2 recently, and it's been a pretty good fit with podcasts. You can basically play it on autopilot and none of the dialogue is all there interesting or important. You can zone out and play something while listening to your own stories.
My personal favourite game to do this to though is still Minecraft. There's almost something zen about it.

Usually people just talking on specific (or general) subjects. I listen to some music podcasts so those are also filled with music in between talking.
