PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm? (discuss.tchncs.de)

So, yesterday I broke my dominant arm. Yay! For the next 6 weeks, I have a cast, and at least for now, I can't use my right hand or arm at all (I am typing this with my left hand).

I'm looking for suggestions what I can play. Some thoughts:

  1. On PC, of couse
  2. Can be played only with the keyboard
  3. No time limits or need to respond quickly (e.g. many RTSes)
  4. I like puzzle games, RPGs, and good storytelling. I want to like sim games, but haven't yet found one that I love.
  5. Nothing too difficult

Here's a link to my Steam profile, if that helps: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198028619119/games/?tab=all

Thank you all for any advice!

FTL: Faster Than Light, an incredible rouge-like in space

Pros:

  • All actions have a leyboard shortcut

  • you can pause anytime and plan ahead

  • will satisfy your analytical brain that needs puzzles

  • randomized, each game will be different

  • can be played in short bursts should you get tired with the cast or whatever on

  • is amazing

  • randomized

  • dirt cheap

Cons:

  • you still need to use the mouse to aim weapons, albeit no need to be ultra precise...most of the time
  • randomized...will punish you sometimes so you just have to take it on the chin. Part of the fun and all that.
