Having Shoulder Surgery Next Month. Need a list of one handed games I can play
So, my left shoulder is going to be out of commission for about 2 month and would love a list of strictly one handed games you might recommend.

I play alot of rpgs, rts, strategy, base builders, pretty much a little of everything, but not a huge pvp fan anymore as I am much older and having top hardware cant overcome my age vs that of the youth in pvp, so I tend to stick to single player games. or MMORPGS.


Anyway, any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Fate, is a top down adventure rpg
Rise of nations
Men of war series ( the game is mouse control, but there are keyboard aspects, but you dont need the keyboard to win )
Ricochet, you bounce a ball off a board you move with the mouse to smash blocks, has like 100000s of levels
Chicken Invaders series, there is also a free one on steam

let me know if you need more

Kenshi? Most 4x games as well. Most video game card games

The Sims, other point-n-clicks
Pilgrims
Howl
Crush the Castle Legacy Collection
Railbound

If looking more adult game should consider Flint: Treasure of Oblivion. It's completely mouse clicking pirate RPG, but some players had problems launching achievements because it is Unreal Engine game.

No story or anything:

It's just a whole lot of levels (with some different kinds) to fight through. Pretty good, IMHO -- and I'm generally the first to ditch games without story.

You need two keys to play (not counting things like choosing the level or setting up your skills); the game has a couple of hardcoded options for this, including the left/right mouse buttons.

Turn-based games of any genre. Jagged Alliance, X-Com, Heroes of Might and Magic, turn-based RPGs, etc.

Any kind of adventure game where you only use the mouse to find objects and move around. Like King's Quest, etc.

With most turn-based games you only need to use one hand for controls, and because they're turn-based you can also take your time. So look at turn-based games the in genre and theme that interest you the most.

I also know what it's like to only have one hand to play with. I lost the use of one of my arms permanently. I made a lot of my own controllers so I could play any type of game with one hand. But yeah, I think turn-based and adventure games are great if you only can use one hand.

If you want something for free and you still want to earn achievements and such, Soda Dungeon is a perfectly fine game to play, as it only requires a mouse.

Also for free is Epic Battle Fantasy 3, it requires more strategy and a bit more input but otherwise you can also play that game one handed, also you can play the first 2 games from the browser if you want to try them as well

Perfect time to revisit some classics like all of the ShinMegamiTensei games on PS2. Or Grandia 2 from Dream Cast. Final Fantasy 9, 10, 10-2 might be a nice revisit as well.

any of the bridge builder games, especially bridge builder portal, will keep your mind pre occupied and only need to use a mouse. very challenging if you do not use guides and it's cheap.
