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.

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

    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

    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.

    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! :)

    Slay the Spire - a roguelike deckbuilder is a lot of fun.

    I haven’t actually tried it, but Balatro has made a lot of waves recently and I imagine you could play that with only mouse.

    Also, what kind of mouse are you using? If you’re still on a no thumb buttons mouse, you should definitely upgrade. If you only have 2 thumb buttons, as is most common, I’d recommend looking at something with more. My mouse has 3 thumb buttons, and two extra index finger buttons. logitech g502 and while some people like that mouse (i do) some don’t, so I can’t say whether you’d like it, but I will say the extra buttons have allowed me to set up a lot of games that would normally require a keyboard as well into a more mouse only friendly experience.

    Maybe some classic, more phantastical CRPGs with turn-based combat are more your juice than Disco Elysium: Baldur’s Gate III, Pillars of Eternity II, Fallout. Planescape Torment, Tyranny, Pathfinder, Pillars I and the rest of the Baldur’s Gate series rely on real-time combat with pause which might get tedious when only using the mouse.

      Was thinking of getting back into pillars of eternity 2 but thought you needed a bit of keyboard, like number keys?

      People have suggested some RTS titles but I can’t imagine playing them without group numbers and force attacks a d things…

      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!

    Lots of visual novels, maybe you could try Fate?

    There is unciv, a foss and free civ 5 adaptation, Humankind which was free for a time on epic games, civ 6 if it’s still on sale, civ 7 if you’re free to trying out new things

    RimWorld would be nice but the lack of shortcuts will drive you mad

    CK3 isn’t as bad when you lack shortcuts, it’s a fun game

      [email protected] can help you out with way more visual novels. Including ones that do not have sex scenes or romance, counter to the stereotype of all VNs as sex games.

      (and if you do want romance in your VNs, but from a female perspective, [email protected] has you)

      If you end up liking Crusader Kings 3 you might also like Crusader Kings 2
