What I am searching for is for games that support touch screens and can be played with 1 finger / one hand. No action games with fake joysticks on the screen, just games that work with a single finger or at least one hand while lying in bed and trying to wind down. One very good example is Civilization V, which has a dedicated touch screen mode and is a turn based game. Also the windows included card games work good.
I tried to search for games on Steam, but unfortunately there is rarely a tag for touch screen support. Even Civ V with its dedicated touch screen mode has no tags telling about it in the Steam store, so it is hard to find games that work well.
I thought the “The Room” series could work well, because they are awesome on IOS devices, but the Windows version on a touch screen is cumbersome to use. So you can not even look out for mobile games that also exist for Windows.
If someone has some recommendations, I would appreciate that very much :-)
Edit: Changed Civ IV to V!
I didn’t test most of these personally on a touch screen, but they seem like good candidates to check:
- Pawnbarian
- Osmos
- Hexcells (+ Hexcells Plus + Hexcells Infinite)
- Frog Detective (+ 2 + 3)
- The Witness
- Taiji
- shapez
Her Storysorry, it needs a keyboard- Eufloria
- KAMI
- Hook (+ 2)
- The Pedestrian
- Subsurface Circular
- Dorfromantik
- Polychromia
- Hidden Folks
- Cogs
That´s quite a list! Thank you :-) I even have a few on that list and will try them out. I did not think about The Witness, but it´s worth a try. I did not finis it on PC, but it has some really hard puzzles in it that keep you occupied for a while at the same place without the need to move around a lot.
The Hexcells series is awesome, played through all of them (of course not through all the random ones in Infinite ;-)), but might be worth to try again on the tablet. I tried Tametsi (also a puzzler), but it did not scale with the High DPI screen and was super tiny.
