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.

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.

RiQuY,

Try to read the post again, “having issues with an arm” doesn’t sound as simple as you might think…

helix,

for most games you need two hands though ;)

Puyo Puyo Champions has a one-handed controller preset. D-pad or ABXY to move, shoulder buttons to rotate.

Only caveat is that if you want to play online, only the Switch version is actively populated, so I can't recommend the game on any other platform.

AFC1886VCC,

You could probably write a decent review of the game without even playing it. It’s Ubisoft, their games are all the same. Shit.

DebatableRaccoon,

Absolutely. That review I posted is exactly what I was anticipating when seeing the footage multiple channels were posting back in January. I’m just a little surprised to see so many singing false praises like that shit he shows of a reviewer giving it a 100 and starting with a line like “it has flaws”. I encountered another video where the review had the gall to say “the parkour is the best it’s ever been. It’s nothing like in Unity but the animations are so good”. This is a reviewer who’s previously panned animation-based parkour in favour of the old mechanics-based style. Everyone’s blowing Ubisoft because the company is supposedly on Death’s doorstep despite them having firmly put themselves there. It’s sickening.

Hyphlosion, do gaming w There are many games that I've only seen the first 40% of because I keep starting over...

This is me in Final Fantasy. I was in the middle of the ocean on a ship. Don’t remember what I did last or where I was going. Spent an hour going around the map killing things and still couldn’t figure it out.

A lot of people talking about the arcade component, but Tetris was the original shareware. It was a phenomena that spread through the USSR until it touched a British entrepreneur. It didn’t even keep score originally.

A shitload of early games only method of defeating the player was simply to be come more difficult or faster until the player ran out of lives, especially during the early years of video games in the ‘70s and ‘80s. This is not a feature unique to Tetris at all.

The only real difference is Tetris’ longevity, which has far outlasted the Soviet Union it originated from.

Many great games are like this. Dwarf Fortress is my personal favorite, where losing is fun.

Xenny,

Project Zomboid goes “THIS IS HOW YOU DIED” Everytime I start a new game and well, it hasn’t been wrong yet.

Zidane,

Is the new build coop yet? I wanna work a farm with the homies.

dubyakay,

Sadly it is not.

Finding new ways in which the environment (or your own actions) can kill you in Noita is very satisfying.

9bananas,

right up until redacted and suddenly it’s reeeaaaal difficult to find a way to end the game, because dying isn’t an option if you didn’t prepare for it XD

WorldsDumbestMan,

I found one of those genies that multiply in someone’s multiplayer room.

I farmed the Valkyrie for wishes until I was broken, but I still could not reliably cast my own wish spell. Turns out, it gets harder to cast the more you level it up. You would need some ridicilous stuff to counter that.

trigg,

I’m always here for DF talk. Aquifer and active volcano remains a favourite

henfredemars,

Oh man I used to hate aquifers. They’re more manageable in the latest version but I still don’t find myself enjoying it as a resource.

Volcanos are too much fun. I often unleash gratuitous amounts of fun playing with lava.

sp3tr4l,

Kenshi also doesn’t really have a ‘win’ state.

Lots of other sandbox style games as well.

Can you ‘win’ Caves of Qud? Or just… not die lol?

grimoire,

Qud has an ending now, it came with the 1.0 update.

sp3tr4l,

Ah! Did not know that, thanks!

I’ll have to give it another spin.

WorldsDumbestMan,

I somehow became unable to lose, getting FPS death instead, and was forced to quit.

I am a failure.

henfredemars,

Back in the day we disabled thermal calculation and used DFHack to clean up items.

Not sure how well the Steam version addresses this.

Rob200, do gaming w People who have played Assassin's Creed Shadows, how is it so far?

Assassin’s Creed shadows has some beautiful looking environments.

capt_wolf, (edited ) do games w One-handed games?

Just FYI, there are a number of controllers out there for people who only have the use of one hand that are relatively cheap. I don’t always have the use of both hands, and I can definitely say that it’s possible to learn to use regular controllers effectively one handed as well. Both the Logitech F710 and the 8Bitdo Pro 2 work really well in my opinion. People have laughed at me, but the 8bitdo Zero 2 surprisingly works really well too, but is much more limited for inputs and thus, more suited to retro games.

Ephera, do gaming w Tetris

I mean, what even is the point of winning a game? Ah yes, now I get to click through half an hour of dialogue and cutscenes, so that I can then not play the game anymore, because I’ve ‘completed’ it. Really, completing a game sounds like a scam invented by Big Game to sell more games. Like, oh yeah, we’ve made our game so fucking boring that players want it to be over with, so they can buy another of our boring ass games and play that to completion instead.

pennomi,

Different people like different things, believe it or not.

Ephera,

Well, I was hoping my comment would be ridiculous enough to make it clear that it’s in jest, but apparently not. 🫠

I mean, I do strongly prefer a gameplay loop you can (want to) play forever over story-driven games, but I am very much aware that this is a personal preference.

WorldsDumbestMan,

Life is the same. What is the point in “winning life”, just so I can be burried with some medals, and remembered for a few years, before being forgotten, while everything I did is undone.

MufinMcFlufin,

Worth mentioning that some of these earlier titles were built for IPX networking, which is no longer supported by modern operated systems. I get the impression OP is asking for games with LAN gaming supporting to get recommendations, so I feel it’s important to make sure they or others checking lists like this one understand they may need to go through some hoops to get some of these titles to work with a modern machine.

usrtrv,

Yea I’m not sure of OP’s ability and the requirements for games was vague. But IPX isn’t that big of a hurdle, DOSBox has an emulator for it: www.dosbox.com/wiki/connectivity

Bigger issues would be sourcing and playing some of these games on modern systems at all. And some dedicated servers can be a pain.

mic_check_one_two,

Holy shit, I had forgotten about SOLDAT. My friends and I used to play that on the library computers in middle school.

IIRC it had a portable version that you could boot from a flash drive. Or at least the installation happened on your local user account, so it didn’t require admin rights from the school IT team.

Also, the old Dungeon Siege games. IIRC, 1 and 2 both had LAN multiplayer, where each person took control of a different character. It was basically the groundwork for the gameplay that Dragon Age Origins built upon.

usrtrv,

SOLDAT 2 was recently released. Basically just a minor face-lift.

Letsdothisok,

Bless you mentioning some greats. It brings back memories.
