Most titles feature isometric views and turn-based gameplay. Notable examples include Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Disco Elysium, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity, Original Sin (1 & 2), Wasteland 3, X-COM, Life is Strange, This War of Mine, Darkest Dungeon, FTL Into the Breach, Slay the Spire, Fallout (1 & 2), HoMM, KOTOR (1 & 2), Banner Saga, and card games like Heartstone. For better control, consider setting the pause button to a mouse button or try changing your settings.
Do you have any funds to invest? Your thoughts on driving games are interesting—if you had a steering wheel and pedals, you could handle most current racing titles easily. But as Soag mentioned, maybe something more RTS-oriented would suit you better, where the mouse takes over most of the action.
You're about to dive into a Mario Kart session using only the Wii remote. Perhaps you can harness your piano's sustain pedal as the throttle and skip braking altogether.
Looking for a turn-based experience? I enjoy Age of Wonders: Planetfall and Gears Tactics. Darkest Dungeon, Mutant Year Zero, and Into the Breach are also solid picks. Interactive films and walking simulators work too. Games from Supermassive Studios, Telltale Games, and Quantic Dream come to mind. Disco Elysium, Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2, Tyranny, Pathfinder Kingmaker are great for action moments that let you pause and issue commands whenever you like.
I faced a comparable challenge, yet a hand injury didn’t halt my progress in WoW. With the latest expansion released, I focused on advancing my character and assembling the optimal gear. Thanks to my guild, I discovered a supportive group ready to back me up during tough boss fights. I yearn for a rare sword to complete my equipment and all the necessary materials are hard to obtain. Thus, I turned to seeking an exalted orb, which could address my needs. After two weeks of exploring dungeons, I couldn’t find anything useful. My friend recommended buying an exalted orb on a dedicated server, which aids WoW players in farming and gathering rare resources. Once I made the purchase, I quickly became a favorite among group members during boss raids.
It seems trying on five different times, spaced two to three years apart, didn't work. I couldn't tolerate it for over an hour each time.
