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...

So left hand only games.. driving games should work(enjoying NFS heat, atm), turn based games and isometric RPGs (plenty of those, depends on preferences... Balatro, slay the spire, XCOM, disco Elysium, etc... I could make a list if needed).

Telltale games like the wolf among us and stuff

Vampire survivors and all the similar games (halls of torment, brotato, soulstone survivors, etc)
