hearthstone is by far my favorite game to play when im eating or jerking off, it literally has no use for the keyboard beyond searching for cards it's free and you and your bud could play it together and against eachother if you're new, maybe that'd be fun?

Crypt of the Necrodancer can be played with just the arrow keys iirc and has co op. It's not very fun if you have had rhythm though.

How extensive is the cast? I was able to use a controller fairly well with a broken wrist and elbow.
[QUOTE=laserpanda;52969960]How extensive is the cast? I was able to use a controller fairly well with a broken wrist and elbow.[/QUOTE] It also relies on which arm is broken, and how badly it is broken. How clumsy it might sound, as long you have your left thumb free to move, you could play more games with a controller than you think, as long you don't have to take your thumb off the control stick. Just forget about playing games with extensive keyboard use, though. If I could recommend a game that doesn't require the use of two arms, I would pick Ghost Trick. Just make sure you go into it without looking anything about its plot up.
Dunno about your power level but you could always try a Visual Novel, Doki Doki Literature Club is pretty popular nowadays.

If you have Starcraft 2, the Mafia custom game on there is gold
Rimworld if you want something to really sink some time into.
all the lego starwars games
Dark souls no joke either, it can easily be done using steam rebinding
Any management and building sim games like Cities Skyline and Planet Coaster are pretty playable with one hand, a bit of a hassle without the extra leeway a keyboard provides but they're all fully playable with a mouse. Also would recommend some lightgun games that can be played with a mouse alone like House of the Dead 1-3 and Overkill. Typing of the Dead on Steam includes the original lightgun gameplay and it's fully playable with only one hand, supports online play too.
heroes of might and magic, age of empire
If you decide while playing that you hate your friends or something and don't need co-op anymore, Sim City / Cities Skylines works.
any game's playable with one hand if you're....handy enough
If you don't mind something old school a majority of Super Nintendo RPGs can be played one handed. There even was a special one handed controller for doing so.
[QUOTE=J!NX;52971543]Dark souls no joke either, it can easily be done using steam rebinding[/QUOTE] I've legit done this on m+kb while taking care of my niece. Camera controls on 1 through 5, same WASD + Space to dash/roll layout, H and G right hand, LShift and Y left hand and it's very playable. Beat half of Dark Souls 2 like this. As far as recommendations go, a lot of hentai games support left-hand only control schemes
practically any traditional roguelike
Mutual masturbation? In seriousness maybe Happy Wheels?
The new Dead of Alive game has a one-handed mode for accessibility
Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2 work with one hand I think? I played them on a touchscreen tablet PC and that worked fine.
Don't Starve can be played with just mouse, as far as i remember
Civ V, stellaris, aoe2 Mobile games To an extent even elite dangerous
Party games like the Jackbox Party Pack can be good but you might need something to hold your phone. Some first person games you can play with solely a mouse if you bind move forward to a mouse button. You can't strafe but it's not a deal breaker. Wii Sports is a good 1 handed game. A lot of Wii games are one handed.
You CAN play games with a controller. In 5th grade I broke my elbow and had to cast up my whole left arm. I just used my chin to move my character. Left trigger can be hard but it's doable. I beat the entirety of Star Wars Republic Commando multiple times using my chin.
Fighting games if you're not a [b]coward[/b] any tcg game works, like pokemon or heartstone, I guess
The Steam Controller might be an option for you. Its insane configurability combined with some inventiveness could probably make very many games playable. [editline]14th December 2017[/editline] I'm pretty sure the original Fallouts can be played just with a mouse. Any point-and-click adventure game could work, really. Any turn-based RPG is playable with enough tenacity, like Pokemon and stuff. City builders and the Sims games and games of that ilk can be paused at will, giving you enough time to do what you need. Games that don't rely on fast reactions can work in your predicament, there's a lot of great stuff out there. [editline]14th December 2017[/editline] So you want co-op games, huh? Play this shit: [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/225840/Sven_Coop/[/url] "But this is an FPS! I can't play this!"

The side buttons are forward and backward. Primary fire is primary fire. Middle click will use and reload. Secondary fire is a toggle; Primary fire will become secondary fire, and middle click will become jump and duck. You can hold down middle click and secondary click to continue crouching. If you have open mic and your buddy takes point, and you occasionally use a manual keybind to the command menu for lesser-used functions, and you give it a lot of practice, you should be able to play. Save this in \steamapps\common\Sven Co-op\svencoop as whatever.cfg, and in the console type exec whatever.cfg. Feel free to tweak and experiment, I just knocked this together in a few moments. (A game doesn't have scripting support? Look into autohotkey, you can replicate stuff like this in that.)
can't think of any off the top of my head but a lot of sidescrolling platformers can easily be played with one hand as long as they don't have mouse aiming.
I've broken my arm over five times (osteopenia will do that to you) and if the break is just to your wrist/you have a short cast then after a few days as pain subsides you should be able to play most games more or less normally, albeit maybe not super responsive. Still, I was able to play shit like WoW and Half-Life If you are unlucky enough to have a fracture that means you need a full cast above the elbow then that limits a lot of games you can really play. When I had casts like that I just played turn-based games a lot especially Heroes of Might and Magic 3; that has co-operative both online and on the same system.
