I recently broke my arm and I won’t be able to use it for at least a month. I was starting to play STALKER 2 but that’s not going to be possible for a while.
Do you have any suggestion for one-handed PC games?
One Finger Death Punch
I had a similar situation a few years ago and I filled my gaming void with Diablo 3. I had to bind my side buttons to the abilities. Worked surprisingly well.
OpenRCT2
(may you heal swiftly!)
Original Gothic is perfectly playable with one hand!
Gothic 2 too but less so.
Civ 5/6
The Sims or Cities Skylines with edge scrolling enabled
Vampire Survivors or Deep Rock Galactic: Survivors
Came here to say vampire survivors! I had so much fun with that game.
I mean, just look for turn-based games, hell, you could play Baldur’s Gate 3 one-handed.
Dance Dance Revolution
Dead or alive Xtreme beach volleyball…you know why.

Anything turn-based and mouse-driven like Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, Baba is You, Inscryption, Super Auto Pets, Mega Knockdown, chess, riichi mahjong, visual novels, etc. Or anything turn-based in general regardless of control scheme if you’re alright with playing slowly.

Rhythm Doctor - A one button rhythm game.
-
Crypt of the Necrodancer - This game’s control scheme was designed to be possible to play it on a dance pad. Which means you can also just play it with WASD or arrow keys.

I wanna shout out Puyo Puyo Champions since it actually has a one handed preset in its controller options. D-pad or ABXY to move and L1/L2 or R1/R2 to rotate. Caveat though is that the Steam version is not at all active online, I would strongly recommend getting it on Switch if you can.

Balatro perhaps, the rougelike poker game
Inscryption
The first 1/3 of that game is amazing.
Yeah, it’s a shame the NG+ doesn’t just stick to it. I’d be happy to just play that style full fledge card game.
Disco Elysium
Tacking Pentiment onto that. The premise may not seem super badass, but goddamn if it didn’t suck me in and make me feel like I was a part of that town, extremely good game
