Gaming controllers have evolved from just having a single dial and button to having mappable buttons and haptic triggers, and we gamers know that we've come a long way from the ancient days of Tennis For Two to streamers defeating Elden Ring using various controllers, even mind control.
Gamers have been pushing the limits of human abilities by playing difficult games using ridiculously amazing peripherals, but there has been a question revolving around the community that always comes back for many different reasons: what are the best games to play using one hand?
While playing games using a guitar or a dance pad may sound fascinating to some, the idea of playing games using one hand has always been a possibility. May it be due to some physical injury or some other tasks that require the use of the other hand such as eating and many others, "single-handed" games are always welcome to any gamer. One particular fan asked the community what are the best titles to play using one hand, and of course, as always, the community came and delivered.

Originally posted on Reddit by user u/PoorlyTimedKanye, they asked what titles are the best using only one hand due to an unforeseen injury they had which left them unable to dual-wield their peripherals for almost 4 weeks. Fellow gamers were quick to suggest games that only require a mouse, which is also a great thing as user u/PoorlyTimedKanye play on PC aside from their consoles.
Titles such as Vampire Survivors, Brotato, and turn-based strategy games like Civilization and Age of Wonders 4 are the top answers from the community. Baldur's Gate 3, Slay The Spire, and Ace Attorney games also made the cut. Other popular point-and-click games like Darkest Dungeon, Balatro, and Loop Hero are good choices from the community.
While most games, especially action-roleplaying games, require the full functionality of one's appendages when playing, having a great library of wholesome and fun games to play using only one hand comes in handy (pun intended). Regardless of whether you will be playing the games above or will spend your week finishing Silent Hill 2 Remake, be sure to stay updated with the latest gaming community news and stories by following Gfinity Esports.
