Hey, I’m looking for a game. Something like underrail or caves of qud or maybe an isometric rpg. Something single player with deep systems that isn’t fps or really graphically intense. Also something that works well with a keyboard and mouse, no controller. Preferably not a roguelike/lite and something I can pause. Games I have and like a bunch: Kenshi Factorio Stellaris All infinity engine games Caves of Qud Stardew Valley Cold Waters Games I don’t really like: Divinity Original Sin

Tyranny an IE style game with a reactive plot, and you are basically a lawyer/sheriff in fantasy Rome. An excellent isometric turn-based rpg if you ever wondered what it would be like to play the evil path and actually have it be good. I was about to write a big long post about ToME and then I saw you requested no roguelikes. I will say that the normal difficulty is very beginner-friendly, as you get a limited number of extra lives as you progress through the game.

You mention graphics not being too intense, so if PC performance is limited CK2 is older (but still excellent) and should run better than CK3. The base game is also 100% free to play now. CK3 is an upgrade in almost every way but it requires slightly more PC power and is not free.

I would recommend you look at The Colonists, which has the cute (but not the plot) of Stardew Valley and the resource-management of Factorio. Also look at Oxygen Not Included. Furthermore, come to the Management Games thread, where e: Leaving the linked tweet because it kinda fits the Steam thread, but the actual Management Games thread.

Looking for a game I can play one handed. Not because I'm a sex pervert, but because I have a toddler that can't sleep unless he has skin to skin contact and god loving forbid I move my arm for one second. Currently I'm doing Slay the Spire and getting to the point where I have to do more math than I prefer. Slower strategic games are preferred because I'm too fired for schmups and poo poo like that.

Weird one, but Pokemon Let's Go has a single hand mode. There's probably quite a few older JRPGs you could set up binds for that just takes up half a controller like Earthbound or Dragon Quest. Civ or other similar games probably aren't too bad as long as you don't mind missing out on keyboard shortcuts.

If you're on a computer, then most turn-based games you can probably figure out how to play with one hand, so there's things like Into the Breach, XCOM, Punch Club, Steamworld Heist or Quest. I'd be wary of real-time-with-pause games like CK2, since you need a free hand to hammer pause, but maybe you could do it with FTL. If you're not on computer, then you could still probably figure out how to poke around a controller, but here's some games that I'm pretty sure work one-handed on all platforms: Crypt of the Necrodancer for sure. It may be a bit faster-paced than you want to handle late at night, but if you play as the bard character then you get to choose when the beats happen so it basically becomes turn-based. There's also Solar 2, that you also only need one hand to handle the directional movement. It's a game where you play as a celestial body puttering around the galaxy gathering mass. An asteroid needs to become a planet, a planet can gather moons or cultivate a lil' civilization, but build more mass and you become a star, stars can get planets and become whole solar systems but can turn into black holes. It's neat. And then there's Kingdom: New Lands/Two Crowns, just a very barebones game where you build up a little community, build defenses against nightly attacks, and eventually attack the monsters and defeat them to move onto the next area, but all done just by wandering left and right on your horse on a 2D plane and dumping money here and there.

Setting aside specific game recommendations, there are controllers designed for one-handed gaming. You can find info on sites about gaming accessibility, such as Able Gamers' FAQ on gaming with one hand. Given that the sleeping toddler situation isn't long-term, I don't know if it's worth it for you to drop $100 on a modified controller and re-teach your muscle memory, but if nothing else, "hey, this stuff exists!"

Let me further clarify, anything that's playable mouse only. Chrono trigger is and has been 110% my poo poo since release but keyboard controls puts my laptop in range of toddler tantrums that have already taken one old laptop down.

I've been playing all of pillars of eternity 1 and 2 with only the mouse and a toddler in the arms. Just need a 5-buttons mouse so you can assign the middle one to pause and the 4th or 5th to highlight objects. Pretty sure you can play tons of games with only the mouse with a 5-buttons one.

Yeah same, it's only the soccer game I've ever played. It's more similar to battle brothers and into the breach than FIFA. Two things I especially like about it: 1) It has a huge focus on "est" characters (fire emblem term for characters with weak starting stats but great growths). So you get lots of trade-offs between playing your veterans who hardly improve anymore and your youngsters who are terrible but have the potential to become a lot better than your veterans. 2) It's perfectly comfortable to play with just a laptop touchpad.

I've spent most of my game time in Destiny 2 for a few weeks now (between bouts of Heroes of Hammerwatch, and other stuff), but I think I'm about done with the Bungie-ness of it all Trying to find something new that scratches that same itch. Among the best I've played for itch-scratching, FF14 and WoW don't appeal anymore; Division 2 sort of does but I've already played the base campaign and the world left me feeling kinda bored and uninterested; and Path of Exile and Warframe are too much effort  The common thread between these is plain old numbers-go-up, I guess, but I look at games like NGU Idle and blanch at the UI. As well, the numbers-go-up nature being so front and center is ironically off-putting.

It's one of the finest games ever made. They threw a bit of a wrench in the early number-go-up by adding the optional Guardian and Defender gear, which are basically "easy mode" overpowered fear for people who either want to catch up quickly to their friends, or experience the story with less challenge, but you can ignore them and play the game as originally designed. And by the late game, those overpowered armors will fall off and you'll need to delve into crafting to keep up with the more advanced monsters. It's a lovely game

Maybe it was the gacha stuff coming in at that point, I'm kinda put off by that stuff nowadays No worries. For what it's worth the game is entirely completable and plenty fun (imo) without engaging with the gacha at all. Also, the region after the first generic fantasy Europe one is a massive improvement, especially if you're into Chinese themes. Might be worth revisiting. If you want short power curves, I've been coming back to Gunfire Reborn a lot lately, numbers go up significantly within a run. There's metaprogression though which I know turns some people off.
