I recently broke my arm and I won’t be able to use it for at least a month. I was starting to play STALKER 2 but that’s not going to be possible for a while.

Do you have any suggestion for one-handed PC games?

    Look at super giant games, they have some turn based games that are really good and I think will be playable with one hand

    • Anything turn-based and mouse-driven like Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, Baba is You, Inscryption, Super Auto Pets, Mega Knockdown, chess, riichi mahjong, visual novels, etc. Or anything turn-based in general regardless of control scheme if you’re alright with playing slowly.

    • Rhythm Doctor - A one button rhythm game.

    • Crypt of the Necrodancer - This game’s control scheme was designed to be possible to play it on a dance pad. Which means you can also just play it with WASD or arrow keys.

    • I wanna shout out Puyo Puyo Champions since it actually has a one handed preset in its controller options. D-pad or ABXY to move and L1/L2 or R1/R2 to rotate. Caveat though is that the Steam version is not at all active online, I would strongly recommend getting it on Switch if you can.

      I think Baba is you is better just with keyboard, it’s one of the few games that allows for keyboard navigation on menus. I’m also not sure how to even move using the mouse.

    Turn based stuff is probably pretty safe, assuming that’s your jam. Been playing Rogue Trader and I think you can do most anything with the mouse.

      Tacking Pentiment onto that. The premise may not seem super badass, but goddamn if it didn’t suck me in and make me feel like I was a part of that town, extremely good game

    Any classic RTS

    Age Of Empires II

    OpenRA

    Roller Coaster Tycoon series

    Theme Hospital / Twin Peaks Hospital

    These are examples of games that can be played with just the mouse.

      To expand on this, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 has a FOSS re-implementation called OpenRCT2, and it’s considerably better than even the original. I’d recommend Planet Coaster, but honestly, I think the simplicity of RCT2 makes things a lot easier one-handed.
