Long international flight. Need offline game recommendations

FTL is a good iPad game and time waster.

ETA: good on pc as well. It’s not just a mobile game. Subnautica and hearts of iron iv come to mind as well.

What will you be playin on?

How will you play this, offline, on a flight?

If you have an ipad, there is a full version of Star Wars KOTOR that is excellent and only $9.99. No corners cut to put in on iPad. The only iffy part is the controls for the small racing mini-game

Persona 5 aka the best game of the last generation

Graphics suck

Rimworld is the ultimate time waster.

This will be no surprise if you pay attention to my avi and sig pic, but either Skyrim or Fallout 4 would be perfect time wasters for a long flight. I'd suggest Fallout 3 or New Vegas but getting them to run well (or at all) on Windows 10 takes a bit of work. New Vegas actually runs fine minus a few hiccups.


If you're into card games, which I'm not, I've heard a LOT of great stuff about Inscryption which is only $20 on steam.

Obviously this thread could just become a "what are your favorite games of the last two decades" thread, but I'll try to be a bit more on point:

You're on an airplane. You're surrounded by people in a small, enclosed space. You'll be interrupted fairly consistently. People will look at your screen. So for me, I would scratch anything that has overtly violent or sexual content. I would scratch anything that is going to be graphically intensive such that it's going to make my device run super hot/make my fans scream. I would scratch anything that is overly difficult/requires very precise mouse skills.

So, with all of that said, Stardew Valley and Rimworld are good options. I would add both Ori games (bring an Xbox controller for added comfort). RTS campaigns like Age of Empires II: DE or Crusader Kings II/III. I'm not up on turn based strategy, but those would be great options as well. Puzzlers like Portal I/II, Gris, etc would be good choices.

My actual game recommendations aren't important, but those would be my personal considerations in choosing which games to play.

I would recommend shadow tactics: blades of the shogun. turn based game so not hard to pause whenever you feel like it

Also it fits all the reasons he listed above
