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.

Minesweeper

Solitaire - classic top down perspective.

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

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

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 😅

Backpack Battles! Fantastic little inventory management game with a load of replay value.

Contentedness,

Huh! I’ve never come across the genre, I feel this is a good opportunity to try some new things so I appreciate the suggestion. Will look into it!

Oh I forgot to mention this part. They have a free demo on Steam with ~1/3 of the playable content. That alone is great. The full game is reasonably priced too and they’re still rolling out content updates frequently

That looks amazing! Wishlisted :) I love the mechanic of intentionally blowing yourself out into space to escape an imminently exploding ship and then remote controlling your own ship to then rescue you lol

Would Terra Invicta count for you? Or do you mean top down in a 2d sense?

Novamdomum,
@Novamdomum@fedia.io avatar

This one feels a bit more like Risk in space and I never got on with Risk, or in fact any of the Civ series of games, which this also reminds me of a bit. I sort of meant top down in the Desperadoes 3 style but I'm totally open to other ideas :)

Desperadoes 3 style

Ah, I gitchu bru!

I really liked Commandos 2 and 3, which look similar. Did you ever play them? There were modernized remasters recently too.

Also, Shadow Tactics maybe?

Mister_Feeny, do games w Suggestions for mouse only games?

Slay the Spire - a roguelike deckbuilder is a lot of fun.

I haven't actually tried it, but Balatro has made a lot of waves recently and I imagine you could play that with only mouse.

Also, what kind of mouse are you using? If you're still on a no thumb buttons mouse, you should definitely upgrade. If you only have 2 thumb buttons, as is most common, I'd recommend looking at something with more. My mouse has 3 thumb buttons, and two extra index finger buttons. logitech g502 and while some people like that mouse (i do) some don't, so I can't say whether you'd like it, but I will say the extra buttons have allowed me to set up a lot of games that would normally require a keyboard as well into a more mouse only friendly experience.

Kayday,

I’ve been very happy with my Deathadder, been using it for almost a year now.

I just purchased the naga v2 hyperspeed since that’s the kind of mouse i’ve been using for 15 years. https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/e7c5f55c-890d-4b00-9744-163d3aba8b2a.jpegIt’s been pretty good for the 2 weeks i’ve had it.

poke,

They can also look into an MMO mouse for more buttons.
