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.

    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

      !visualnovels@ani.social 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, !otomegames@ani.social has you)

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

    I actually played all of Talos Principle using only a 5 button mouse when I broke my arm a few months ago. I mapped W and S to the side buttons, jump to the middle click, and the game is actually perfectly playable with this controls.

    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.

    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.
