So as you may have seen me mention in a few other threads, I broke my left hand.

I'm trying to find and download as many games as i can that I can play using basically one hand. I mean, my thumbs sticking out of the cast but im really not meant to be using it.

'Hemce these abomination I've become really good at golf. I started playing Xcom, its kind of annoying. I don't mind if the games are old or new. I can use a mouse if I have to but I'd rather use the game pad. Also, using the mouse usually requires all sorts of keyboard action (its taken me like twenty minutes with thirty corrections to make it through this.
:temporary:

Thanks :)

Maybe a dumb suggestion but browser- and card games are perfect for one handed play. I personally enjoy Eternal a bunch, it's pretty accessible and fun for an online CCG and the F2P monetization is alright.

If adventure or point and click games are your speed, check out some of those, anything past the age of text parsers is usually played entirely with just the mouse. Aviary Attorney is real fun if you dig the old art aesthetic and you can gel with investigation games, Phoenix Wright-style.

Audiosurf 2 is really fun if you like arcade-y gameplay set to music. Especially the Mono mode and its variants are 100% mouse playable, but the others work just fine too.

Turn based strategy that doesn't require a gazillion hotkeys would work too. Into the Breach is very fun.

A fun exploration-based strategy-esque game is Curious Expedition, where you lead a group of explorers through increasingly tougher expeditions. It's built rogue-like style so you're not meant to get everything right on your first or tenth go around but I find it very charming and fun no matter how far I get. Also entirely mouse-controlled.

Fuck you say?
If you like RPGs the infinity engine games like Planescape and Baldurs Gate can be comfortably played with one hand. They're real time games but are heavily reliant on pausing to get through combat, but you can set up a bunch of rules to make the game pause on its own.

Pretty sure you can probably bind pause to an extra mouse button if you have a fancy mouse too.

Got a light, handsome?

Any anime game, pretty sure those are designed to be played with one hand

slay the spire can be played with just the mouse and very occasional key use, its cool if you like cardgames and/or roguelikes

Your life and your quest end here.


The Shadowrun games (Returns, Dragonfall and Hong Kong) are all mouse controlled.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Battle Brothers has keyboard shortcuts for most things but it can be played with the mouse for the most part. I think you may want to move your hand to the arrow keys to move the map about now and again but I think there's an option to scroll the edges of the map with the mouse.

I love all the mouse suggestions, but I could use a few more that could use a controller, with only a right hand, barely. i can like, move angles, nothing fast

I am lonely and spend most of my time on 4Chan talking about the superiority of BBC porn.
Dota Underlords for mouse and maybe Crypt of the Necrodancer on controller? i dont remember if i pressed anything but directions in that game. any of the turn based RPGs is probably fine. ive been playing DQ11. theres a tiny steam ga me called Lofi Ping Pong that only requires left up and right. Phoenix Wright might be ok for you also with mouse or controller.

baba is you can be one-handed with a controller

e: seconding necrodancer, that's all arrow keys. controller is technically possible but you might struggle with spells

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

Get a Wii or an emulator and try to run Opoona. Its control scheme is designed around just the WII nunchuck, i.e. and analogue stick and two buttons.

It's about balls, and it's loving weird.
