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.

    Kinda depends on what type of games you like!

    Here’s a few different ones: Timberborn, Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon, TemTem, FTL, Into the Breach

    Edit: some personal favorites too: Dungeon Clawler and Ballionaire

      That’s only one hand til you get real good, f keys to swap inventory page like the pros do.

      Or just click everything because for the first few hundred hours it doesn’t super matter anyway.

      Haha good point, unfortunately I’ve also bruised right hand thumb so even if I still had mmo mouse I think it wouldn’t work that well. Good suggestion tho!

      One of the best games there is, but without any keyboard shortcuts, that will be annoying really soon.

    Warcraft? Sid Meier’s civilization?

    Or in general any top down RPG game, like RuneScape.

    My random suggestions right now for stuff I like and is played with mouse would be:

    • Rimworld. Almost any top-down PC management or (not too fast paced) strategy game should work, but, I really like the crazy random shit that happens to the characters you’re slowly getting to know in Rimworld.

    • Almost any of the Zachtronics games, if you like to torture your brain. Open-ended sort-of-engineering puzzles.The bigs ones like Spacechem, Opus Magnum and Shenzhen IO in particular, last call BBS for a bit more variety inside one game. Not Infinifactory, since while it doesn’t have any kind of fast paced action it still requires navigating in 3D so mouse only wouldn’t work.

    You can play osrs with just mouse, though keyboard shortcuts are handy/mandatory for late game - you won’t be there though before the hand heals 😅

    I’d say most RTS games I can think of can be played with just a mouse

    Older diablo-like ARPGs didn’t really rely on the keyboard too much IIRC, the modern ones do tend to rely on the keyboard a bit more

    If you don’t mind older games, basically the whole genre of point and click adventures is this by definition

    If you’re a grand strategy fan: Crusader Kings 3. You could spend hundreds of hours in that game, and it’s mainly designed to be played with only a mouse.

      Oh I remember looking into this a while back but it seemed kind of daunting. Perhaps now’s the time to take the plunge! Appreciate the suggestion!

        It’s definitely a bit difficult to get into, but I’d recommend doing the tutorial and going with the flow rather than trying to understand everything. You’ll slowly start to realize what’s going on.
