Recommend me games that can be played without using a keyboard


Recommended Posts

Due to having a fracture in my left shoulder, I am not able to use the keyboard and mouse at the same time(also going to be three months before I can! :(). Are there many decent action type games that can be played exclusively by mouse? Please suggest anything!

I can recommend two PC games that are entirely non-keyboard-driven - in fact, they are single-player; Bejeweled 3 (EA/PopCap) and Plants vs. Zombies Game of the Year Edition (also EA/PopCap Games), with Bejeweled 3 even touch-ready (despite it dating back to - yeeks - Windows 7).  When mom's 7-driven refurb croaked, it was replaced by a new HP Pavilion touch-driven AIO - however, I was also able to bring all her old games over to 8.1 (though I DID have to reinstall them) - hence we're talking the original CD-ROM (pre-EA) version of Bejeweled 3.

 

To put it bluntly, I was shocked that it supported touch right off - especially since 7 didn't.

(While I DID see the PopCap YT video of Big-Screen Bejeweled 3, that was a custom-built display - touch-screen displays that large are pricey, and were pricier even then.)

 

Even now, when I do use her AIO (primarily for the novelty of using it), I'll "switch up" to see which way to play is "better" IMHO.  Touch actually has a slight edge over pointing device right now - and remember, I'm used to playing with a pointing device.
