I’ve just broken my left collarbone and for the next couple weeks have left arm in a sling. Thinking about games that are played just with the right hand?
I’ve already got Slay the Princess which I’ve been meaning to get around to for a while and Disco Elysium which I never got far through, but taking any suggestions at this point, always keen to try fresh genres and formats.
Let em on me!
Thanks, gang.
Nubbys Number Factory, addicting and mouse only.
Civ 5 and FTL would be my top suggestions. I think anything turn based is likely to be playable with just a mouse
Balatro!
Edit: inscryption is WASD +spacebar only, if you can do that with a slight seating adjustment. It’s great for planes. The post game content might be even better than the game content, haha.
I didn’t know that, that is awesome. Inscryption is one of the coolest gaming experiences of the last few years. It’s right up there with titles like Subnautica and the Outer Wilds for me. Daniel Mullins is a creative lad.
It’s a very good game! I loved Subnautica too :)
Any turn based isometric. Pillars of eternity 1 & 2. Shadowrun returns/dragonfall/Hong Kong.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous too.
Chess.
- Slay the Spire
- Tactical Beach Wizards (on sale!)
- Rogue Light Deck Builder (yes, that’s the name)
Btw: There are USB foot keyboards on the soulless online marketing platform of your choice. They can usually be programmed to different keys or combinations. While it is not something I would use for FPS gaming, it can come handy in situations like yours. I have one with three different switches that are programmable which is quite handy.
X-COM 2 is fully playable with just the mouse.
If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, there’s The Enchanted Cave 2, a nice little roguelite with an interesting loot system.
From memory, Fallout and Fallout 2 are fully mouse-playable too.
Rimworld can be played only with a mouse pretty good. And City Skylines too
Lots of visual novels, maybe you could try Fate?
There is unciv, a foss and free civ 5 adaptation, Humankind which was free for a time on epic games, civ 6 if it’s still on sale, civ 7 if you’re free to trying out new things
RimWorld would be nice but the lack of shortcuts will drive you mad
CK3 isn’t as bad when you lack shortcuts, it’s a fun game
!visualnovels@ani.social can help you out with way more visual novels. Including ones that do not have sex scenes or romance, counter to the stereotype of all VNs as sex games.
(and if you do want romance in your VNs, but from a female perspective, !otomegames@ani.social has you)
If you end up liking Crusader Kings 3 you might also like Crusader Kings 2
I actually played all of Talos Principle using only a 5 button mouse when I broke my arm a few months ago. I mapped W and S to the side buttons, jump to the middle click, and the game is actually perfectly playable with this controls.
Buy a mouse with a joystick or D-Pad on it. Or one of those 15 button mice meant for MMOs. Then you can play anything.
I tried attaching movement controls to my logitech g600’s number pad, it wasn’t practical
I agree but it works in a pinch and is better than nothing.
Here is a good one. The Case of the Golden Idol
Microsoft Solitaire Collection
