One-handed games? (feddit.org)

Hi people, I currently have two friends who injured their dominant arm in unrelated accidents and mostly can't do anything but sit around and watch movies.

I'd like to gift them some games to play with just one hand. Not the hentai variant, but something to keep them occupied with.

Both own a steam deck. One is more into cozy games like Dorfromantik and the other into RPGs like BG3.

One Finger Death Punch would be a good example as you can remap controls so you only need to press left and right on the D-Pad, but both of them don't really like that game.

Do you know any games which can be played with one hand, preferably a controller or Steam deck? Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying...

I'm gonna say it.

I'm gonna say it.

Slice & Dice is better than Slay the Spire (not by much, to be fair, but... yeah).

You like it better, it isn't objectively better.

I bounced off of SnD. I wanted to like it but just couldn't for whatever reason.

No problem; I'll play it more for you!

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Thanks. Give those baddies a couple good rolls for me!

How do I get into it? I've tried and it's not really sticking, to be honest.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did you try it on Hard?

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think I changed the difficulty-settings.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

That's a big deal; I wouldn't think much of the game if I had only played it on Easy the entire time. It really shines in Hard or Unfair!
