One-handed games? (feddit.org)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by helix@feddit.org to c/games@lemmy.world

Hi people, I currently have two friends who injured their dominant arm in unrelated accidents and mostly can't do anything but sit around and watch movies.

I'd like to gift them some games to play with just one hand. Not the hentai variant, but something to keep them occupied with.

Both own a steam deck. One is more into cozy games like Dorfromantik and the other into RPGs like BG3.

One Finger Death Punch would be a good example as you can remap controls so you only need to press left and right on the D-Pad, but both of them don't really like that game.

Do you know any games which can be played with one hand, preferably a controller or Steam deck? Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying...

Dungeon crawl stone soup. Can be played with keyboard only.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is basically just more BG3 (though with less production quality) so that should be right up your RPG-loving friend's alley. Turn based combat and click-to-move lets you play the whole thing with just your mouse I'm pretty sure.

If they have a keyboard and are into turn-based role playing games then I can recommend Caves of Qud. It has a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it starts to open up and it's just incredible!

Rafa Nadal is right handed and plays left handed. If someone has issues with a non-dominant hand then it's time to start making the other one dominant.

I think you should be able to play Organ Trail one-handed. It's a zombie apocalypse version of Oregon Trail.

Organ Trail... What's the objective?

One Finger Death Punch and One Finger Death Punch 2

What more is there to say? The reason why that works perfectly is already in the title of the game.

Caution: this game is addictive
