One-handed games?
-
Hi people, I currently have two friends who have issues with their dominant arm and 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...

Balatro is turn-based and is easy enough to control. I myself play on mobile, but Steam Deck shouldn't be very different.

I think a fair amount of survivor games like Vampire Survivors and 20 minutes til dawn are intended for just one hand. Then there's every turn based strat game like Civilization and stellaris, along with every turn based RPG out thete
Here's a curator for one handed gaming as well.

If they have a keyboard and are into turn-based role playing games then I can recommend Caves of Qud. It has a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of it starts to open up and it's just incredible!
When we are talking about turn-based RPGs, they could also give Stone Shard a look https://store.steampowered.com/app/625960/Stoneshard/

Rafa Nadal is right handed and plays left handed. If someone has issues with a non-dominant hand then it's time to start making the other one dominant.
Try to read the post again, I don't think "having issues with an arm" doesn't sound as simple as you might think...

I guess games like Monkey Island (1 to 3, and Return, the 3D ones would be harder) could work using the touch screen or touchpad working as a mouse

You might be interested in the videos made by Champutee, a one-armed gamer who has done several experiments with both genres and controllers to continue enjoying gaming.

Super Mario Run was quite fun as a single-button Mario platformer. You could also try visual novels or point-and-click adventures, or even something just with simple controls like pokémon.

I think you should be able to play Organ Trail one-handed. It's a zombie apocalypse version of Oregon Trail.

For the record, I use a mouse with my non-dominant hand and I can play even fast paced FPS games like Titanfall competently enough. I actually used to dominate on Splitgate for a while. It's a skill that can be learned. I have the advantage of having done it my whole life and I fully acknowledge that's hard to replicate, but I think that with some practice anyone should be able to get to the point where they can play slower, primarily mouse driven games like turn based RPGs. Real time with pause might also be doable if you bind the pause button to the mouse (a mouse with some extra bindable keys would really help here). Anyway, just a thought.
If those options don't work, maybe look into games like Vampire Survivor, or Realm of The Mad God (though I think the latter does need some rapid mouse inputs when looting, so maybe not so good).

Have they tried narrative games like the ones from Telltale, Dontnod, ... ?

XCom and XCom 2 can be played entirely with the mouse. Minor typing if you want to name your soldiers, but nothing requires quick reflexes. Everything is turn based.
Emulation opens up a lot of options for old school turn based games. RPGs, turn based strategy. Any of the Pokemon games gen 1-3 can be played one handed with some clever button mapping. Any game made to use just the Wii-mote as a pointer would also work, but I don't know those off the top of my head.
You might want to look into one handed controllers, or something like the FLIR USB dongle that you can use to map IR TV remote signals to keyboard button presses. Just need to use a remote that doesn't already control something.

The Final Fantasy pixel remasters are all old school turn based RPGs that can be played one handed on the steam deck. Certainly not all 50 games but UFO 50 has a bunch of games made for a non-existent console that are all pretty simple and I would bet a lot of them can be played one handed. Both Crypt of the Necrodancer and Cadence of Hyrule are rhythm dungeon delver games that probably work one handed too, technically so would the new game Rift of the Necrodancer but that requires more skill than I have

I don't understand. You have two friends, each with a good arm, that's two good arms. Tape your friends together and have them coordinate and BAM: two-handed gaming.
