PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm? (discuss.tchncs.de)

So, yesterday I broke my dominant arm. Yay! For the next 6 weeks, I have a cast, and at least for now, I can't use my right hand or arm at all (I am typing this with my left hand).

I'm looking for suggestions what I can play. Some thoughts:

On PC, of couse
Can be played only with the keyboard
No time limits or need to respond quickly (e.g. many RTSes)
I like puzzle games, RPGs, and good storytelling. I want to like sim games, but haven't yet found one that I love.
Nothing too difficult

Here's a link to my Steam profile, if that helps: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198028619119/games/?tab=all

Thank you all for any advice!

XCOM and Shadowrun returns! Just use the mouse with the other hand. Both games give you all the time you need. Battletech is a goog one handed game, too.

XCOM is a great idea. I played it years ago, but never made it to the end.

I second XCOM, if we are talking about the original two, Enemy Unknown/UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep. I heard good things about the more recent ones, but I never played those.
