  Add some episodes of Walking Dead, a little bit of Mortal Kombat, a multiplayer mode with a way to chat with other passengers, a few cool podcasts, and maybe even debut some new music through the game, and I’d be interested in a return flight. But as is, Airplane Mode doesn’t make it off the runway. I’d rather fly Spirit.

  5.0

  Airplane Mode is a very niche game and will only entice a small audience into playing the game. Whether or not that limited audience will like the experience is completely up to them. For the time being, the game feels very limited, and while that might be the point, it sometimes feels too limited. The controls are quite clunky and this will make the otherwise relaxing experience a bit less entertaining, as sometimes you don’t properly feel in control when playing the game. Nonetheless, this can be a relaxing replacement for having to skip several trips this year.

  This game can be called lots of things, such as a waste of time and an act of hubris, but it’s definitely not false advertising. This is a very accurate portrayal of what you can (and cannot) do while traveling in economy class, for better or for worse. I still cannot recommend to anyone, besides the half a dozen weirdos out there who really, really, desperately miss the feeling of being inside an airplane due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

  7.0

  Airplane Mode is the very definition of “you knew what you were getting yourself into.” It simulates a very mundane experience and captures the essence of commercial flight quite well. There might even be some benefit when applied in cognitive behavioral therapy to help people get over their fear of airplanes.

  3.5

  I decided to wait to see if this was maybe the delay feature that was mentioned on the Steam page, however, after waiting 30 minutes I was still in the same situation. I googled the issue and it is a common bug with the game, this was the biggest disappointment of my life, I had wasted six hours of my life on an imaginary flight and I couldn’t even finish.

  6.0

  Quando si dice che la tempistica è provvidenziale: in altri momenti la sua componente simulativa rigorosa, ma ingessata avrebbe smesso di suscitare interesse prima dell’atterraggio, mentre la povertà tecnica ci avrebbe spinto quasi subito a imboccare l’uscita di emergenza.
