Any modern JRPG is mostly cutscenes.

Or: hook up the bike output to control flappy bird.

Back when I biked I just listened to music. Having both hands occupied sounds a bit risky.

My cardio is daily dog walks, but I found that I was able to comfortably play round-based autobattlers in between sets while resistance training. Granted I'm also working out, at home, and have access to a PC. Backpack Battles and The Bazaar have been my go-to for this. BpB just got a mobile port now, so you could play on your phone. I have no idea about the quality though.

I've also had Super Auto Pets recommended to me, but I didn't care too much for it. I also appears to have a mobile port.

To me, round-based autobattlers seems like it would be the way to go, even with cardio. You could slow down in between rounds when you're setting up your board/team/what-have-you, and then push yourself during the actual battle.

You can't lose fat with exercise. It's an intake problem.

Here's the best combo of video games and cardio I can think of. Buy a PS5, strap it to your back, go for a jog through an all black neighborhood.

It's both. doing one without the other is doomed.

I've only ever played videogames and exercised when I had a TV mounted to a treadmill and I hooked up a PS2 slim underneath. Played Ace Combat 5 while fast walking. Couldn't pull it off while running. Almost fell over.

Do the math. How many hours do you need to run to lose 10 lbs of fat?

Thinking anything slower paced with controller support should work. Heartrate monitor that beeps if your heartrate dips is important too
