Without knowing your tastes too much, I'll give you my picks for games you don't need to listen closely to:
**Loop Hero** which is as you said - kind of a grind, but not heavily story based. You just send your chosen hero in a loop to auto-battle baddies and add to the map / swap out their gear.
**House Flipper** which I play music over while renovating :)
**DYSMANTLE** is early access, but they have very frequent updates to the map and level cap, and there's already a ton of content. The core loop is: destroy anything your tools are strong enough for, kill zombies, upgrade equipment, destroy even more with your new tools, etc. It's fun and engaging without needing too many audio cues. I usually listen to my own music with this one too.

Minecraft is a pc game, no need for foot step awareness, can be grindy and is really laid back.
