I recently broke my arm and I won’t be able to use it for at least a month. I was starting to play STALKER 2 but that’s not going to be possible for a while.
Do you have any suggestion for one-handed PC games?
-
Anything turn-based and mouse-driven like Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, Baba is You, Inscryption, Super Auto Pets, Mega Knockdown, chess, riichi mahjong, visual novels, etc. Or anything turn-based in general regardless of control scheme if you’re alright with playing slowly.
-
Rhythm Doctor - A one button rhythm game.
-
Crypt of the Necrodancer - This game’s control scheme was designed to be possible to play it on a dance pad. Which means you can also just play it with WASD or arrow keys.

I wanna shout out Puyo Puyo Champions since it actually has a one handed preset in its controller options. D-pad or ABXY to move and L1/L2 or R1/R2 to rotate. Caveat though is that the Steam version is not at all active online, I would strongly recommend getting it on Switch if you can.
I think Baba is you is better just with keyboard, it’s one of the few games that allows for keyboard navigation on menus. I’m also not sure how to even move using the mouse.

Balatro perhaps, the rougelike poker game
Turn based stuff is probably pretty safe, assuming that’s your jam. Been playing Rogue Trader and I think you can do most anything with the mouse.
Disco Elysium
Tacking Pentiment onto that. The premise may not seem super badass, but goddamn if it didn’t suck me in and make me feel like I was a part of that town, extremely good game
FTL
I’m proud of Lemmy today. 45 comments and not a single joke about OP’s mom.
Vampire Survivors or Deep Rock Galactic: Survivors
Came here to say vampire survivors! I had so much fun with that game.
Balatro Rimworld Islanders FTL
Strategy games like X-Com
I mean, just look for turn-based games, hell, you could play Baldur’s Gate 3 one-handed.
vampire survivors
Dead or alive Xtreme beach volleyball…you know why.
Ballatro, slay the spire, vampire survivor’s, peggle
Crusader kings!
Bloons TD 6 if you’re into mindless tower defending
Get a controller. I once had a broken arm, too (my dominant arm, to make things worse), but my hands worked fine so I could use my controller without any problems. Hands layed in my lap with the controller, and I learned really fast not to move my whole body to steer vehicles 😅
Get well soon!
