While we’re talking about tower defence, I really recommend the Gemcraft series! IMO probably the best tower defence games out there. Chasing Shadows and Frostborn Wrath are both on Steam, and I highly recommend them.
Gotta be honest; I love RCE, but he’s been outside my ring of focus for a while, so I have no clue what you’re on about. Really strong joke though. Some would say it’s efficient.
point & click adventure games? Some older ones can be aquired for cheap, or even free as some of them have been released as freeware.
some suggestions in no particular order, some are older (like, DOS old, but still good today, imo), some are 2010’s or so:
TellTale Sam & Max -episodic games (3d, cartoony, comedy)
Monkey Island -series, parts 1-3. (2d, cartoony, comedy, pirates, yarharhar) (Later games in the series are pretty finicky to get running/stay running.)
Sam & Max: Hit the road (2d, cartoony, comedy)
The Dig (2d, scifi)
Full Throttle (has a modernized remaster) (2d, “scifi”, biker-theme)
Flight of the Amazon Queen (freeware) (2d, ~40’s vibe, “retro-scifi”)
Beneath a steel sky (freeware) (2d, scifi, comedy, some gore)
Ones that have some keyboard usage, but are mainly mouse driven (or can be mouse driven)
Grim Fandango (modernised remaster, original doesn’t do mouse) (3d, latin-american land of the dead, comedy)
Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis (some occasional fights where keyboard would be preferred, most of these can be circumvented though) (2d, some comedy, ww2, I mean, it’s indiana jones)
The older ones can be played via Scummvm (scummvm.org) - it’s basically a simplified launcher/runner just for adventure games.
I only longingly looked at the screenshots of Sam&Max in some gaming magazine at the time, managed to get the game waaayyy later. But man was it worth the wait :)
You’re welcome! Also, there are still some more-or-less indie devs who keep the point&click adventures alive, afaik most, if not all from Wadjet Eye’s catalog are great, eg: The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, Strangeland, Primordia… worth checking out!
I wonder if Bud Tucker in Double Trouble would still run. Probably would need dosbox
Anyway, whole adventure genre. Syberias, Mysts, Gabriel Knight
I’ve found Shadowrun trilogy fun
Darkest Dungeon, Oxygen not Included, Surviving Mars
Citizen Sleeper is short but well done, got me hooked to finish it in a single sitting
Arcanum I still consider one of the best RPGs ever made
Fallout 1&2
I don’t know if Commandos style games would not require too fast clicking without a keyboard, but you could try out Shadow Tactics, it has active pause IIRC
Speaking of Commandos, Jagged Alliance was fun too
Oh my brother suggested Mysts, I’ll look into your other picks too, tho setting up dosbox might be a bridge too far right now. Keeping things simple! Thanks for the suggestions!
Maybe some classic, more phantastical CRPGs with turn-based combat are more your juice than Disco Elysium: Baldur’s Gate III, Pillars of Eternity II, Fallout. Planescape Torment, Tyranny, Pathfinder, Pillars I and the rest of the Baldur’s Gate series rely on real-time combat with pause which might get tedious when only using the mouse.
Haha good point, unfortunately I’ve also bruised right hand thumb so even if I still had mmo mouse I think it wouldn’t work that well. Good suggestion tho!
