[PLEASE HALP!] 5-hour flight; what video game should I play?

[kermit4karate]

Like the title says. I have a 5-hour flight coming up for a solo trip in a few days. I love video games but haven't played a PC game in years (life priorities; haven't made the time). I have a decent modern laptop, a Wintel Lenovo Slim 7i Aura Edition 14". It doesn't have discrete graphics, only integrated, but I don't care if I have to play at minimum detail and resolution. Would be fun to play something for both legs of the trip (say 10 hours total). The airline provides Starlink, so I could be online for the duration.

Since I'll be on a flight, cramped, I'm not wanting to play something that requires a separate mouse or too much hand-eye agility. I guess that means no real-time action. Ideally, something turn based that I can use the trackpad for on the laptop.

I've used Steam and have an account, so I figure that's where I would get the game from. In terms of genre, I'm open. I love D&D obviously, but it doesn't have to be a D&D game. I like sci-fi, sims, all kinds of things. I used to play video games a lot but haven't for about 10 years (except on my phone).

Here are some games that've caught my attention over the past few years:

• Baldur's Gate 3
• Diablo 4
• Skyrim
• The Witcher 3
• Wildermyth
• Silksong

I would love to use the opportunity to play something. Any recommendations? Anything on my list I should avoid at all costs?

Thanks!

I only have Plants vs. Zombies on my phone that I play. I did try to play Stark Tower Defense a few weeks ago and it does not work with current flash drive something. I'm just old I guess.

Funny! I also played Plants vs. Zombies, also on my phone! I enjoyed that game and the sequel. It served its purpose in my life but did eventually run its course. Thanks for the reply.

Splendor and Antiyoy are the two games that have been on my phone the longest at this point. They're always good to come back to, and require no internet. Carcassonne used to be on that list, but the old version that I paid for recently stopped working and I haven't tried the new one yet.

Civ 5. I'll think about that. I've played AoE and Civ (can't recall which version) before, though. Thank you for the recs.

I think airline attendants frown upon howls of rage, so Silksong may be a poor choice…

Oh geez, Silksong. I can't believe the developers had the gall to release a game with so many bugs in it.
