Getting over it with Bennett Foddy.

It’s a challenging but deeply emotional game. You only need to use the mouse to climb the character up.

donuts,

I guess uncontrollable rage is an emotion!

fossphi,

Fair enough! But there’s some epic narration done, too. Quite soothing at times

Contentedness,

Oh cool that’s the kind of thing I wouldn’t usually play but reckon I’ll have time to enjoy over the next couple weeks. Great suggestion!

fossphi,

Yeah, it is quite an unusual kind of game. But I’d be happy to read about your thoughts if you play it! :)

Classics like The Incredible Machine and Ultima 8 come to mind.

Contentedness,

Haha I’m not mentally prepared to get back into The Incredible Machine right now. Thanks for the suggestion tho!

First of, sorry about your collarbone, that sucks

Second, I think if you’re looking for something to disappear into I really recommend Baldurs Gate 3, I’ve seen it recommend here already but just wanted to second that, it’s a really fantastic world to live in for a bit

Contentedness,

Ok cool, I’ve not tried the franchise at all but perhaps now’s the time. Thanks!

I’ll throw in Oxygen Not Included.

onoki,

One of the best games there is, but without any keyboard shortcuts, that will be annoying really soon.

shyguyblue,

Fair, don’t even try playing on anything but normal speed :/

Contentedness,

Oh! Controversy! I love it! Will have to weigh my options carefully before choosing a side!

Try Dismantle. You can dismantle buildings there(it isn’t the goal, just a rather unique part of gameplay). It even has some plot. And looks nice.

I'd forgotten I already have that one from ages ago. I'll have another look at it thanks :)

There is no game: wrong dimension

There might be some keyboard moments iirc but they’re not intense and you can let the mouse go iirc

Contentedness,

Intriguing! I’ll definitely look into it, thanks!

Maybe this is not what you are looking for but I like Creeper World 3!

Ooh it wasn't but I like the look of that one! the 2D representing a 3D world thing is really interesting.

Not sure how old you are, have you played the first and second GTA?

Very old and yes I have (when they came out in fact 🤣)

If you’re a grand strategy fan: Crusader Kings 3. You could spend hundreds of hours in that game, and it’s mainly designed to be played with only a mouse.

Contentedness,

Oh I remember looking into this a while back but it seemed kind of daunting. Perhaps now’s the time to take the plunge! Appreciate the suggestion!

simple,

It’s definitely a bit difficult to get into, but I’d recommend doing the tutorial and going with the flow rather than trying to understand everything. You’ll slowly start to realize what’s going on.

Skua,

I'd also add that CK3 is a step above most Paradox games in terms of beginner-friendliness. Everything has a tooltip defining what it does, and most of the game-specific words in that tooltip have tooltips of their own. It's not like the older games and their "lol keep the wiki open and good fucking luck" approach to explaining themselves

Nibodhika,

CK can be daunting, I recommend you choose which time period you like best and go with that game, e.g. if you like sci-fi go with Stellaris, if you like WWII go with Hearts of Iron 4, etc. liking the time period where the game is set can make a huge difference in you willingness to learn it. For example if you don’t like medieval it might be daunting to track lineages and hereditary traits and how the ownership of land works (I once lost an entire kingdom because of it on CK2), but if you like WWII maybe seeing historical facts reflected on mechanics or learning military tactics is more interesting to you. All of those games are very different from one another, but they’re also very alike, starting with one that’s just the right one can help you pass the steep learning curve.

It’s such an overcrowded genre isn’t it?

Well it’s not really a genre, just a mode of perspective.

Disco Elysium ditched combat for an everything-is-dialogue-approach and it is really really good.

Played the hell out of DE and I agree! :D

Minesweeper

badcommandorfilename,

Solitaire - classic top down perspective.

Come to think of it, so was that Space Pinball game too.

Novamdomum,
@Novamdomum@fedia.io avatar

played hundreds of hours of both lol

@Novamdomum@fedia.io avatar

I could never get on with Minesweeper. I bet it's something to do with my ADHD and Discalculia.

hemko, do games w Suggestions for mouse only games?

You can play osrs with just mouse, though keyboard shortcuts are handy/mandatory for late game - you won’t be there though before the hand heals 😅
