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.

    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.

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

    Since Ellipsis hasn’t been mentioned yet, here’s my recommendation:

    Ellipsis is an action-packed Avoid ’Em Up with minimalistic, yet powerful neon styled visuals. Guide your ship through a mysterious universe while deftly avoiding hordes of roaming enemies, spikes, lasers and more.

    Ellipsis on Steam Store

    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.

    Civ 5 and FTL would be my top suggestions. I think anything turn based is likely to be playable with just a mouse

    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.

      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! :)

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

    Buy a mouse with a joystick or D-Pad on it. Or one of those 15 button mice meant for MMOs. Then you can play anything.
