I've just broken my left collarbone and for the next couple weeks have left arm in a sling. Thinking about games that are played just with the right hand?

I've already got Slay the Princess which I've been meaning to get around to for a while and Disco Elysium which I never got far through, but taking any suggestions at this point, always keen to try fresh genres and formats.

Let em on me!

Thanks, gang.

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.

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!

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 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.

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
