Having Low Vision I sometimes struggle to find a good game to play. I have tried playing with my son on his XBox, but it was so bad to the point where my son actually had to make his character jump up and down in front of me before I could find him and shoot him, Heh. The other part is just trying to handle the controller & all it's buttons! I came from the generation where it was just a joystick & maybe 2 fire buttons. 

I used to play a variety of online games, but as my sight worsens, I'm finding myself frustrated with them. I no longer play platform games, shooter games, Timed games, and the like. I've changed to point & clicks, a few hidden object games (if their "hint" is obvious to see), escape the room, and adventure type games. The three websites I frequent regularly are:
(Note: The Desktop & Mobile versions are completely different. I play these on the Desktop.)

Abroy.com
MouseCity.com
InkaGames.com

I've gone ahead and listed some more:

Websites for Blind Gamers:
GMA Games
AudioGames.net
Azabat

Websites for Low Vision Gamers:
NanoGames
iFiction
TextAdventures

iPhone & iPad Audio Only Games

Another option to do is go to a reseller shop like GameStop and browse games there, and test them out before buying.

Happy Gaming!

Do you have trouble seeing, hearing, or getting around? There's an App for that!
Alright that sounded like an infomercial but it's true, I put together a page listing Apps, Books, and Movies for people with various types of "setbacks".

From learning Sign Language to finding out where's Accessible. From History & Culture to Personal Experiences. I did not list any medical explanations, Research papers or "Professional Opinions". I feel it's best learning from those who've been through it.

Check it out & feel free to let me know of others!
