Any video games that only require a mouse to play?

Hi.
I broke my left arm thanks to a cyst and cannot use it for a month. I wanna keep myself occupied for the month so I don't get bored.
Does anyone know any video games that require only a mouse, or more specifically, only one arm to play? Preferably something I can get on Steam.
Thanks in advance!
How about strategy and adventure games? They only have keyboard as additional help, you can pretty much play them with just one mouse.
XCOM 2
(Soon) Civ 6
Anno games
Cities Skylines
Kentucky Route Zero
Monkey Island games
One Finger Death Punch
Cookie Clicker
Minesweeper.

This game is fucking incredible. Absolutely satisfying to play
The original Company of Heroes is a great classic game which can be played with one hand and since this is coming from a primarily FPS player who's never played Strategy before, it's easy to get into and at least in Skirmish mode, doesn't require too much micromanagement which is what I'm awful at.
The shadowrun series, specifically hong kong and dragonfall. Both seasons of the last door are pretty great, as well as almost every game published by [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Wadjet%20Eye%20Games"]wadjet eye[/URL]
Also every mobile game ever
This and its sequel have all been my all-time favorite. 44.8 and 45.7 hours don't lie.

(click me)
It also helps that you have a mouse with extra buttons. Right click for moving your Commander and Left click for Abilities. Extra buttons can be Squad Formation and Mouse Scroll is Routing/Map by default.
I was going to say Super Deepthroat but you totally need two arms to play that game. :fap:
Faster Than Light
Any of Telltale's current games out there can be played with one arm, though some of the QTEs can be a bit of a ballache.
Doom and other Id Tech 1 games can easily be set up to be played with one hand IF you have a mouse with more than three buttons.
FTL: Faster Than Light should keep you occupied for quite some time. Convoy is the same kind of game.
Tropico 4/5 got me through when I had no internet
Offworld Trading Company, a super chill RTS without any units/micromanagement. [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/271240/]It's on sale right now.[/url]
Some arcade racing games like Flatout or Burnout Paradise or NFS can be played with one hand no problem.
Some others that might be worth a shot if you haven't already: VVVVVV, Super Hexagon, World of Goo, Worms Armageddon, SpaceChem, Sine Mora, Papers Please, Invisible Inc, Full Bore, Cities Skylines, OpenTTD. All on Steam except the latter.
And of course, the one and only
Bad Rats
Hearthstone.
The Space Rangers series
Runestone Keeper
Uninvited
Shadowgate
Wolfenstein 3D and Doom can be played with only a mouse
Maybe Divekick, but I haven't tried to see if it supported mouse
Don't Starve can be played entirely with the mouse.
I once had a different problem, I broke my right thumb, my entire hand and forearm was wrapped up and couldn't play any games at all requiring mouse use. :frown: I tried switching the mouse to left handed but I could barely use it.
Osu if you're into rhythm games, although watch out for general weebiness and broken mice. It's free, but unfortunately not on steam.
Audiosurf
Bastion
Transistor
fucking stellar titles
play rollercoaster tycoon
N++
Hammerfight is great fun.
Pokemonshowdown, lichess online chess and probably some other strategy games
Runescape
any of daedalic's point and click games, they're charming little games that go on sale a lot

nothing's really on sale now but the last thing I bought from them was the adventure bundle

and I'm loving it so far
I'm pretty sure you can play [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/32370/"]Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic[/URL] and its [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/208580/"]kickass sequel[/URL] with nothing but the mouse. Every menu button on the HUD can be clicked on, and holding down both mouse buttons makes you move forward and look around as you do.
Those games will definitely keep you occupied for a while.
