Favorite video game while on trainer?

I can't be the only one who sometimes plays video games on the indoor trainer to pass the time...
Lately its Xbox One Forza 6 racing.

Aside from Zwift, any suggestions for multiplayer games that don't require super fast aiming like the crazy online first person shooters, etc?

You're absolutely not alone in turning to video games during indoor trainer sessions; it's a fantastic way to pass the time and keep things interesting. Forza 6 on Xbox One is an excellent choice, especially for some high-speed racing action.

Honest question, how are you even managing to operate a controller? When I'm on the indoor trainer I'm sweating so profusely I couldn't imagine handling a controller, let alone games that require a keyboard and mouse. Yikes.

Maybe I need to upgrade my fan situation.

Can't imagine playing anything with a controller on the trainer. Agree with the above. Even with a fan on me, I'm dripping sweat. I like to play marvel SNAP on my phone during recovery intervals when I can sit up and just spin. Matches are super quick. If you enjoy deck-building games, it's a fun diversion.

One of the things I enjoy most about having an IQ lower than my VO2 Max is that I'm 100% mentally engage riding a trainer in zone 1 and 2.

Whatever you do, don't watch motorcycle racing on tv while working out on rollers. The first time they lean into a turn you'll go right over.

When it comes to multiplayer games that don't demand lightning-fast aiming skills, there are a few gems to explore. If you're into unique gameplay experiences, Rocket League is a blast. It's like soccer but with rocket-powered cars, and it's a ton of fun with friends.Another suggestion is Overcooked, a cooperative cooking game that requires teamwork and communication. It's hilarious and challenging at the same time, making it perfect for those indoor training sessions.I know I'm a bit late to the party with this response, but I hope you find these game ideas interesting for your future trainer sessions. And hey, as a fan of games like CS, I recently came across this marketplace for CS2 skins, which has added a fresh layer of excitement to the game.
