So, yesterday I broke my dominant arm. Yay! For the next 6 weeks, I have a cast, and at least for now, I can’t use my right hand or arm at all (I am typing this with my left hand).
I’m looking for suggestions what I can play. Some thoughts:
- On PC, of couse
- Can be played only with the keyboard
- No time limits or need to respond quickly (e.g. many RTSes)
- I like puzzle games, RPGs, and good storytelling. I want to like sim games, but haven’t yet found one that I love.
- Nothing too difficult
Here’s a link to my Steam profile, if that helps: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198028619119/games/?tab=all
Thank you all for any advice!
If all else fails, Vampire Survivors.
Slay the Spire and Monster Train are great singleplayer card games that can be played with just the mouse.
Pretty much any turn based RPG is on the table, I can easily recommend Octopath Traveler 2.
You can also play story-driven games like Telltale games and Pheonix Wright, those are pretty fun.
Slay the Spire works great on a touchscreen as well. It runs great on my Surface.
However, there is a weird bug if playing on a Surface, that I feel obligated to let other know when recommending this game. You have to have the keyboard attached for the touchscreen controls to work in Slay the Spire. But you can flip it around the back and still play with the touchscreen.
The recently released Baldur’s Gate 3 can be played with one hand perfectly fine. Your arm will likely heal before you finish it.
Edit: just noticed that you said you want keyboard only, in which case BG3 might not be ideal since it’s mostly mouse based. I think you can customize it to play with keyboard only since it has gamepad support, but don’t know what that’d be like.
There’s no fast paced clicking required though, so you could try to adapt to left handed mousery if you really want to play that one.
