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

With that amount of time, Kentucky Route Zero, which you should be able to finish on the return flight. I believe it's still available through Netflix Games.

What an amazing looking game! Very cool style. Heavily taking under advisement. Thank you.

One of the civilization games, Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri or a Paradox Interactive fame eg Crusader Kings 2 or 3, Europe Unversalis 4, Stellaris.

If you want time sinks thst run on older machines.

Just play some Vampire Survivor, it'll play on most things. Simple, basic controls, etc.

While BG3 is great, I don't know if it will even run on your integrated graphics (seems like there are multiple versions of the laptop you listed), if it's Intel Arc Graphics 140V, you could play on 1080p low and apparently get almost 40fps, but older then that and things get dicey fast, 720p low, maybe...

That game looks insane! I'm not sure my nerves are equipped for it, lol! Thanks for the rec.

Maybe some 'classics' from Super Giant, like Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, or Hades?

Hades is currently 75% off on Steam ($6.24), this is one of those games that have been at 'Overwhelmingly Positive' since it came out and the five years since. It's also a lot less graphically demanding then a BG3


Bastion was the first Super Giant game, from 2011, still very positive today. They are all extremely good, but Hades (1 and 2) and Bastion being the best.

I vote Silksong. If not Silksong, then Hollow Knight. If none of those you might just as well stare into the back of the seat in front of you.

 

[Kromanjon]

Dang, really?

So we're clear, Silksong having lots of bugs is a joke because the game is about literal bugs. It's great and the other ongoing rumor about it being "too hard" is also not true. And that's coming from someone who's bad at most games.

What controls are you using? Keyboard and trackpad?

I honestly can’t imagine playing any of those games without a mouse to determine where you’re looking.

That said. If you can make that control style work I would heavily recommend a few more…

• 7 Days to Die.
• Total War Warhammer
• Assassins Creed Valhalla

So much fun! Time flies by.

My #1 travel game is Slay the Spire, which happens to be available on just about every platform.

Incredibly addictive Deck Builder that only gets more fun the more you play. I have hundreds of hours and still play it like crazy. Makes airplane rides go by in a blink!
