PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm? (discuss.tchncs.de)

submitted 2 years ago by cabhan@discuss.tchncs.de to c/games@lemmy.world

So, yesterday I broke my dominant arm. Yay! For the next 6 weeks, I have a cast, and at least for now, I can't use my right hand or arm at all (I am typing this with my left hand).

I'm looking for suggestions what I can play. Some thoughts:

On PC, of couse
Can be played only with the keyboard
No time limits or need to respond quickly (e.g. many RTSes)
I like puzzle games, RPGs, and good storytelling. I want to like sim games, but haven't yet found one that I love.
Nothing too difficult

Here's a link to my Steam profile, if that helps: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198028619119/games/?tab=all

Thank you all for any advice!

First thing that came to mind was FTL: Faster Than Light. I used to play on a laptop with no mouse and a lousy touchpad, so I became familiar with the hot-keys.

You can pause the game at any point to stage your attack / defense. Most commands have hot-keys you can press, rather than point and clicking. You might need to use the mouse for a few parts, but given the ability to always pause the game (I think it’s game mechanic really) you shouldn’t have too much trouble since you’re under little pressure to do so quickly.
