casual gamer
Laid-back video enthusiast
A casual gamer plays video games occasionally or without intense commitment.
Unlike hardcore gamers who invest significant time mastering complex games, casual gamers prefer accessible titles with simple mechanics—puzzle games, mobile games, or party games: I'm just a casual gamer; I play Mario Kart at parties.
The term sometimes carries dismissive connotations among serious gaming communities.
