Have they tried narrative games like the ones from Telltale, Dontnod, … ?

I don’t understand. You have two friends, each with a good arm, that’s two good arms. Tape your friends together and have them coordinate and BAM: two-handed gaming.

Socket462,

That sounds like a good plot for an episode in a tv show. I sense potential here. Haha

Tape will come off when they sweat, better sew them together. And trim off those unnecessary arms, it’s just efficiency.

atomicorange,

Thank you citizen, you’re right! He’s got management written all over him!

nogooduser,

And they can play Brothers A Tale Of Two Sons.

helix,

sadly they live 80km apart from each other, and both are right handed, so they couldn’t face each other while playing. We’d need a pretty weird dual-monitor setup if we’d tape them together.

ddash,

All I’m hearing is excuses over excuses!

glitches_brew,

They could easily solve the double right handed problem by sewing one to the other upside down.

oxideseven,

My SO and I died this during a stream once. I don’t know why lol.

We played Hades. I was right, she was left. It started as a joke but we actually made it decently far lol.

Incredible game. If you ever get the chance I 10000% recommend playing it.

XCom and XCom 2 can be played entirely with the mouse. Minor typing if you want to name your soldiers, but nothing requires quick reflexes. Everything is turn based.

There’s an older breakout style game on steam called Shatter that can be played entirely with the mouse and has a banger soundtrack and neat visual style.

Emulation opens up a lot of options for old school turn based games. RPGs, turn based strategy. Any of the Pokemon games gen 1-3 can be played one handed with some clever button mapping. Any game made to use just the Wii-mote as a pointer would also work, but I don’t know those off the top of my head.

You might want to look into one handed controllers, or something like the FLIR USB dongle that you can use to map IR TV remote signals to keyboard button presses. Just need to use a remote that doesn’t already control something.

I once played XCOM 2 with a stylus. Ended up adding a 6DOF mouse for thether hand because bouncing around the map without it was atrocious.

Gamepads rule. There are one-handed ones as well.

The Final Fantasy pixel remasters are all old school turn based RPGs that can be played one handed on the steam deck. Certainly not all 50 games but UFO 50 has a bunch of games made for a non-existent console that are all pretty simple and I would bet a lot of them can be played one handed. Both Crypt of the Necrodancer and Cadence of Hyrule are rhythm dungeon delver games that probably work one handed too, technically so would the new game Rift of the Necrodancer but that requires more skill than I have

Oh, and for the RPG fan Disco Elysium is almost certainly up his alley and perfect for one handed play

All the games. Every last one of them.

One handed controllers exist.

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

If this is a long term thing, you might consider a left handed gaming mouse with programmable side keys.

I hate to recommend Razer cuz their build quality has taken an absolute nose dive, but the only one I know of is the Razer Naga: www.razer.com/gaming-mice/…/rz01-03410100-r3m1

Setting some of the side keys as WASD and the usual surrounding support keys (Q, E, R F, G, X, C) and you can play almost any game one-handed.

The learning curve to get your brain to accept mouse movement and clicks with your left hand is annoying as fuck though.

Rai,

I have a couple Nagas and they’re excellent!

@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

Good to hear.

I’ve had 4 - the 1st was around 2012 I think, and it was fucking amazing.

The second was around 2016, and even before plugging it in, it felt cheap. Actually using it, problems started popping up like measles in a red state - one of the side buttons stopped working, scroll wheel was janky.

The 3rd was around 2016, after exchanging the second via RMA. The L-click button was super fucked up right out of the box - it’d do this annoying thing where you push it down once, and like multiple clicks would register (the internet called it the ‘double click issue’ but was was WAY more than double… happened when I was using some art software and I’d have to ctrl+z like 10 times to clear all the actions it registered from a single click).

4th was around 2016, after exchanging the third via RMA >_< it made it a couple weeks without incident, but just when I thought I was in the clear, the cursor started jumping upwards a shit-ton randomly, which was hell trying to click-and-drag on anything. Then the internal LEDs went out (oh well, don’t really care if it’s pretty, but did like being able to see it in the dark). Then the double click thing started again.

Dealt with that for a while cuz I couldn’t afford to replace it and was tired of dealing with Razer’s customer service.

Then I joined the Air Force and didn’t have any time at all to game, so kinda fall out of the scene for a bit.

Separated around 2020, got myself a Corsair Scimitar, and lived happily ever after. Doesn’t come in lefty though. :-/

I was really hoping for a PSVR2 port of Alyx, and the timing with a lot of PS games coming to Steam had my theorizing that was a compromise they made with Valve to make it happen but I think that was just wishful thinking now.

tacofox,

Whoa. A bit off from your point but I was going to say if you could use the psvr2 on pc it would have sold a lot better. Turns out Sony seemingly shadow dropped a pc adapter and now you can!

Honestly if that was a launch feature I would have probably bought one since ps5 doesn’t really have a compelling library for it to be worth it alone. Now I’m too broke to justify it :(

Acester47,

That’s actually how I played hl2 Alyx! Great headset, game was awesome. Wish there were more games of the same quality

Lv_InSaNe_vL,

PSVR2 works on PC now :)

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.
