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.

    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.

        When I turn on my PC and can’t decide what I want to play, I launch Balatro. Easy choice.

    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.

    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

    Getting over it with Bennett Foddy.

    It’s a challenging but deeply emotional game. You only need to use the mouse to climb the character up.

        Fair enough! But there’s some epic narration done, too. Quite soothing at times

      Oh cool that’s the kind of thing I wouldn’t usually play but reckon I’ll have time to enjoy over the next couple weeks. Great suggestion!

        Yeah, it is quite an unusual kind of game. But I’d be happy to read about your thoughts if you play it! :)

    Rimworld can be played only with a mouse pretty good. And City Skylines too
