Turn-based?

You can probably play Vampire Survivors. All you really do is move around.

A_Union_of_Kobolds,

The menu inputs require both hands on console, if it wasnt for that its pretty good for it. I played it a lot when I was holding my baby, bottle in one hand and controller in the other.

Might not be in your library, but mouse only game I’ve been enjoying is beat cop.

80s love letter to cop games, in the style of papers please. Reviews are a little mixed, it is a particular game, and it’s 80s warts and all. On sale currently.

Civilization 7 only requires one hand using a mouse, which includes the Switch 2.

Monument Valley 1, 2, and 3 (mobile games). An interesting set of puzzle games with good visuals. They only require single taps to work.

Also can get a mouse for the Steam Deck (or a PC if you have one). There are a lot of good games that you can likely use with a mouse if the hand/wrist motion doesn’t cause pain or discomfort for your thumb.

moakley, do gaming w Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games

I’m all for easy difficulty options in games, but I’m never, ever going to use them. I just can’t motivate myself to play if I’m not accomplishing something.

paultimate14,

Do you feel like you’re accomplishing something by playing a difficult game?

Personally I do not, and that’s fine. I play games to take a break from accomplishing things.

Poem_for_your_sprog,

DOOM and DOOM eternal on nightmare mode hell yeah

moakley,

Absolutely, yes. Good video games have a reward structure that real life is lacking.

OldChicoAle,

In real life, you just get fucked over and over with no rewards.

moakley,

Well that’s not true either. I mean sometimes, sure, but in general if you know what you want and you work towards it, you can accomplish things and be rewarded.

Grimy,

Some of us aren’t even have sex either, I just get no rewards.

Balatro and Into The Breach

Shapez or shapez 2 are really good factory games that dont really require a lot of thumb movement, else play the west of loathing, this one is fantastic turn styled rpg rame where you go west after the cows came home, also there is a spittoon, you can reach into it, and have the narrator describe the horrors you feel whilst poking around in there to fish out a assortment of spit infused garbage to wear on your person

Return of the Obra Dinn and the golden idol games would probably work. I think you could do everything with mouse clicks or hitting a few keys with your good hand, nothing is time based. Other puzzle based games might work too (lorelai and the laser eye, Blue Prince?)

Mostly 2D factory games, like Factorio could also be doable. Would be a little annoying, but it would work.

whotookkarl, do games w Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games?

Dwarf fortress, chess, crosswords, Nonograms, sudoku

Check out scummVM and ROMs for old point and click adventure games like grim fandango, monkey island, Sam & max, etc

Sins of a Solar Empire. It’s a space based strategy game that I’ve sunk hours into. years ago I used to have really shotty internet so it would go down all the time. I’d play that game for 8 hours a pop easily and the time would just fly by. I’m not even a big strategy gamer but I adored that game.

  • Anything turn-based, especially mouse-driven titles. Slay the Spire, Chess, Riichi Mahjong, Balatro, etc.
  • Puyo Puyo Champions has a one-handed preset in its controller options. Do note that if you want to play online, only Switch is active since that's where Japan is, I can't recommend the game on other platforms.
  • Kirby Air Ride uses only one button + analog stick, and any button works, so you can use L. Would have to be left hand for the original, but the sequel coming out later this month has a detailed accessibility menu, which I bet will include right-handed settings.
  • Crypt of the Necrodancer is designed to be playable with just four arrows, in case anyone wanted to play it on a DDR mat. Which also means you can play with arrow keys or WASD.
  • Rhythm Doctor is actually just one button.
  • Rhythm Heaven Fever uses only A and B. Rhythm Heaven DS uses only stylus. The rest of the series uses d-pad as well though, so those are less playable.
  • Come to think of it, any DS game that only uses stylus.
Datz, do gaming w Thought's on this month's Humble?

I’m a big Etrian Odyssey fan, but the first one’s pretty basic, and I haven’t played the remaster.

It already had a pretty good gameplay loop going though, so it’s worth a try, especially if you’re going in blind to the plot reveals.

UnbrokenTaco, do games w Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games?

Some other options.

If you have a joystick or wheel, flight Sims, space sims, racing games might be possible.

RTS games in single player mode (just play on an easier difficulty). Plenty of decent ones have been released in the last little while. Also, maybe 4x games, total war etc.

Digital Board Games might work too.
