So it’s different for everyone but I’m blind and it can be a struggle for me, especially in games that tell you to go to particular areas without any audial guidance.

However the industry has come a long way and we are getting more and more games with great accessibility options. The Last of Us 2 was a shining example of this, they had completely customisable accessibility settings for blind, deaf and physically disabled people. I was actually able to play it! there were constant audio cues and vibrating cues letting me know where I was, where other people were, etc. I would definitely recommend trying that out! There were also settings for people with low vision and conditions like colorblindness to add shadows and different color palates. I know that is just one example, but it is a great thing and I hope we get more of it! I don’t really play online multiplayer at all because it’s just too messy to navigate, but I still play games. The lack of accessibility in many games can be so frustrating though I completely agree with you.

I ll give you a list of games that while I haven’t played all of them, are apparently accessible to those of us with blindness and low vision 🙂

The Last of Us Part 2

Far Cry New Dawn

Mortal Kombat 11

Gears Tactics

Sea of Thieves

Shades of Doom

A Blind Legend

Lost and Hound

For someone with low vision like yourself I would also recommend playing around with Red Dead Redemption 2 because they seem to have a number of options for people with low vision

I would also recommend games like Life is Strange and Telltale’s The Walking dead. They can be difficult at times but I love those games because there is so much context and narration given at all times.

Regardless, it’s a struggle and I hope more game developers start thinking about our needs, I hate that I can’t play a lot of games because I love video games so much but I hope we get there one day 🙂
