I need a game (Nintendo Switch or Apple Arcade) for a 27h trip
- Thread starter starblue
- Start date
So many choices...
Dead cells
Slay the spire
Hollow knight
The entire steamworld selection of games.
Gungeon
Hyper Light Drifter
I'd personally pick a roguelike with a nice addictive gameplay loop and then one other one like hollow knight or HLD to switch to and make more natural progress when you feel like changing it up.
Safe travels.

This Dead Cells, Celeste and Cuphead.
Any combination of these that gets you under your price range are great choices.
Yes!!
A single playthrough of Three Houses took me about 30 hours. There's also a lot of extra stuff and exploration to do between missions. I'll always recommend it.
This one is a no-brainer if you're already considering it. I bought it for Switch at release without knowing anything about it and it became one of my favorite games of this generation.
I'd recommend Phoenix Wright in general if you haven't played it. Three Houses was also great.
I've played Civilization VI on Switch quite a bit, it's pretty good and benefits from the touch screen, but it will drain your battery pretty quickly.

Civ VI looks like the perfect choice, and its also on discount...
And I was too looking for a game to pass some time and got it yesterday!
I still have to start it though, but after years of Civ I have high expectations (I stopped playing on III and just barely touched IV)

Civilisation 6 will for sure keep you busy, but if you wanted to break it up with a couple of games id recommend
Dead cells - super addictive time sink and every play through is different. Totally different to anything I've personally played before but I loved it. They've also just released some DLC for like 5 dollars.
Steamworld heist - you could finish the whole campaign in about 15 - 20 hours and it's brilliant.
You could get both of the above for under your budget on the e shop

Yeah if you haven't touched Stardew Valley and you're into those sorts of games - that'd be my suggestion. I've lost hours and hours to that game.
Bait.
I got bored of this game after 1h. It's very low budget and generic.
On the same subject, what do you guys do to work thru long flights? Have a ten+ hour flight in a few months and I can play games, read, listen to podcasts but I've never been on a flight that long. Any suggestions for when I get antsy?
Depending on the airline, movies are a good way to pass the time. I usually fly Air Canada, and they typically have very recent releases. A 10 hour flight is pretty nice since you can watch 2-3 movies and play games for a bit. Anything past 10 hours starts feeling a little long, though. I'd probably just listen to music at that point.
Hollow Knight is a great pick.
Also worth mentioning - if you haven't played it already is Final Fantasy 7. Switch Port is soooooo good.
Also Collection of Mana is on sale at best buy right now for $15. Secret of Mana is a great action RPG from the 16bit era and it holds up pretty well still.

Literally came here to say these two
Stardew Valley is great, as is Final Fantasy 12: Zodiac Age.
Do play Fire Emblem, but not on this trip. I bought it for a trip a few months ago (just finished my second playthrough) - and I was barely able to play any of it on the plane because of how much it eats the switch's batteries. On my launch switch it went from 100% to 0% in maybe three hours or less. You could bring a backup battery pack/portable charger, as I did for my trip back, but honestly for a longer trip like this I'd recommend sticking to indies that aren't so battery-hungry.
Stardew Valley's a great suggestion, as are Hollow Knight and Dead Cells. Boxboy and Ace Attorney Trilogy have also served me well on plane trips, but save an offline version of the FAQ for Ace Attorney just in case you get hopelessly stuck without access to wifi.

Ignore your own thread and get Fire Emblem after all.
It's pure crack, and because it has a rhythm of three different games that alternate all the time; dating sim, RPG and battles, it doesn't bore you as quickly as any other game would.

With my wife. Where we're going there will be a 10 hour time difference, so I'd think trying to sleep would be good so we are good when we arrive in the morning. Trying to avoid jet lag
I say buy 2/3 games for cheap. That way you have a mix that if one doesn't tickle your fancy you still have 2 other choices.
Katana Zero $14.99
Untitled Goose game $19.99
Child of Light: UE $4.99

Puzzle Quest is on Switch? Hot fucking damn! *opens wallet*
Not only that, it comes with a brand new expansion and a couple new character classes! It's the exact same time sink you loved so much back in 2007 or whatever, but better and more time sinky!
Slay the Spire is what I'd take.
Most of the time when I'm on a trip or in transport I play this game. And I'm already at 500h or more.
It is easy on the battery, has a huge learning curve while not being insanely hard especially thanks to its amazing balance. It's going to get free updates with new character which easily adds 100h to it if not more.
I agree with people who say "get several smaller".
Hollow Knight is another game that's like 10-15$ but actually worth a full price one. Exploration is amazing and boss dight can become so amazingly addictive when you get the patterns and begin to dance with them.
Steamworld Heist and Stardew Valley are also cheap very good games. Heist is shorter but more than enough for a trip and a must play.

Yup this is my pick, he'll probably spend the entire trip in Fort Joy.
You'll need a game with a good enough gameplay loop or enough variety that it'll keep you busy for the majority of that time. That's going to be Ori of the ones you listed, though somebody listed Steamworld Dig, which is probably the way to go. the first game is six hours long, and the second one is 15-20, both with addicting gameplay loops.
Also, maybe grab Picross S if you haven't played them before?
