@rodbotic Maybe some good old-fashioned point-and-click adventure games? You can get the whole of Sam and Max from Telltale on Steam. Also, if you've not played 'em, Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango from Lucasarts/Doublefine.

Also, that sounds awful and I hope you heal up completely.

@rodbotic oh damn almost the exact same thing happened to me in vancouver a month ago (U turn into me in bike lane, scraped & bruised elbow and knee but luckily nothing broken). hope ur recovery goes OK.

hmm it's old but here's one from Steam I used to enjoy a lot , especially with all the mods that were out for it

@rodbotic Ouch. We've never met, but I hope you heal quickly! I have wasted a lot of time playing the various apps from Cracking the Cryptic (you can download them on steam) if puzzles are your jam.

@brainwagon thanks, i played a bunch of sudoku in the hospital.

@rodbotic
May I suggest Machinarium. It's a lovely little point and click adventure where a lowly but kind and resourceful little robot goes on a quest to save his girlfriend from some bully robots who have captured her for her cooking and cleaning skills. You can pretend the bad guys are your Porsche driver.

@DenOfEarth lol. Thanks!

@rodbotic Any traditional RPG should be playable, lots of puzzle games and maybe classic sonic games.

Final Fantasy VII is still one of the most praised RPGs in existence. The remake is not an RPG, so keep that in mind.
If you like psychological horror, Omori is really good. It was heavily inspired by Earthbound and Yume Nikki. It's an RPG maker game.
Any mainline Pokemon game. People generally seem to prefer the older games in the franchise.
There are lots of romhacks for the pokemon games as well, but they vary greatly in quality.

Like, bbbhltz suggested, Baba is you. Not sure how to explain the game, but it's very enjoyable.
OneShot is a great puzzle game as well. It might also qualify as a psychological horror game, but it is much more sane than Omori.

And the classic sonic games (the ones originally released for the sega megadrive/genesis and mega/sega cd) as well as sonic mania can technically be played with one hand. the games only uses one action button and the d-pad

@Haijo7 cool thanks

@rodbotic Hidden Folks should be doable with just a mouse.

I hope your bicycle survived the collision.

Looks like insurance is gonna buy a new one.
The front tire now touches the frame, so i would be worried if the frame is damaged.

@rodbotic First of all that really sucks. Back when I used to ride a bike I nearly got wiped out many times. 😡

Vampire survivors can be played one-handed. I think Holocure can too. The latter is completely free.

Visual novels would work well for you if that floats your boat.

rodbotic OP ,
@rodbotic@kind.social avatar

@retrosponge i have never tried a visual novel before.

@retrosponge@kind.social avatar

@rodbotic I thought of Doki Doki Literature Club. I believe the original is still free on steam. Definitely requires a content warning for mental health stuff etc...

rodbotic OP ,
@rodbotic@kind.social avatar

@retrosponge interesting. Thanks.

@rodbotic Super Hexagon!

@gregersn that's a great chill game, I'm almost out of free levels.

@rodbotic

Ouch! That sounds rough

Cities Skylines 1 and 2 both play pretty well with just the mouse, so they shouldn't be a problem one handed. You could also try some turn based games like Civilization, where you'll have plenty of time to fiddle with the controls. And there's always old fashioned point-and-click adventure games like the Sam & Max series.

@rodbotic Phantasy Star Sega Origins can be played one-handed.

If you have access to a Game Boy or SP, they are great one-handed devices for RPGs.

@rodbotic sending good vibes. IIRC, Slay the Spire and Monster Train play reasonably well one-handed on the Switch.
