Minecraft can be a good game, and with mods on PC it is even quite engaging.

The blocks are easy to see and the more simple graphics make distinguishing different materials easier.

I have a guide dog (using this as a reference)

I have an xbox one, I play Call Of Duty, Rainbow six vegas 1 & 2, Battlefield and Halo

All First person and all fun minus online multiplayer, Zombies is easy enough though!

I can play Disc Jam because it's colourful and that's easier for me to see. I still have to sit right in front of my 55' TV though.

I also play Binding of Isaac but that may be because I played it so much before my accident.


Hope this helped! (I'm in the same boat!)

I really like the Civ games, and they pose no difficulty vision wise, because you can always zoom in. To be quite honest i've been fortunate and haven't found a game I couldn't play. I do have difficulty in sniper roles, and precise shooting.

Almost anything that can be played in Windowed Mode instead of Fullscreen can be combined with Windows Magnifier to see stuff better.

In my personal case, my recent games include Faeria (similar vein to Hearthstone but longer turns and other mechanics), Mini Metro (simplistic style), and Hand of Fate / Monster Loves You ("turn"-based for the most part). I think I'm a little worse off with ARPGs (Path of Exile, Marvel Heroes, Grim Dawn, Torhclight, Diablo) than most people, but those are still playable as well.

I also play a few MUDs like $1 since I can magnify the screen. There's seberal players that are totally blind that play Aard as well using screen readers since it's text-based.

I generally stay away from games where I need to fill a specific role (like DotA-style games and MMO raiding), but most other stuff is fair game to try, even if not quite as good as most.

It all depends on how your sight is impacted and what you like to play. In my case, I use central vision in my left eye, I've started enlarging text a bit and I need good contrast (I run on high contrast).

The best choice are Turn Based Strategy games because you can take your time to assess the situation. More time to process things visually overcomes the problems of Real Time Strategy or First Person Shooter games where you need to react immediately which your vision hampers you with (where's my mouse? What am I looking at? I can't tell if that guy is in our uniform or the enemy uniform!). The Civilization series is the big name here, but there are others (Galactic Civilizations, Fallen Enchantress, the Total War series - battles are real time but you can pause and you're moving formations not individuals so things are easier).

Any game where you can pause and take your time is good basically. FTL - Faster Than Light for example (the text is very small though, so that might be challenging depending. I love FTL though. LOVE it). RPGs also fit this category, though again text and reading could be a challenge (e.g. Baldur's Gate series, Neverwinter series, Dragon Age series, Arcanum [everyone should give Arcanum a go]).

Finally, the more straightforward the graphics, the better: Minecraft fits this bill, especially because you can download and install resource packs (though I stay out of the nether and end because I can't see well enough, I rely on multiplayer economy things or other players to get things from those areas for me).

It really depends what you're into though.
