Hi guys! So, yeah…Which games are good for a nice gaming session while on a flight? Last time I played one of the newer Tomb Raider games, and while performance was good, it decked (heh) the battery in less than 1h… So, while I like these too, if the flight doesn’t have a socket under the seat I might want to play games that don’t kill the battery immediately. What’s your best/most addictive Deck games? Also, after the whole big N mess…how’s the Switch emulation these days?
Most 2d games give me solid battery life. Hades, balatro, dead cells, pizza tower, streets of rage 4 all kept me entertained through cross country flights with no external power. But really you should just get a fat battery pack, it’s just plain useful for keeping all your devices topped up.

I can’t agree here, 2d games have the capacity to be extremely resource efficient but a lot of PC 2d games were developed by developers with monster gaming PCs and they never really bothered to optimize them.
Yeah I mean I definitely have games like Noita that are 2d and happily empty the battery in 2, 2.5 hours. Guess I was just speaking relatively to tomb raider, 2d games I can usually minimize the tdp with no performance impacts and carry on for 4 to 6 hours, compared to any average AAA 3d game that is going to have a hard stop around 1.5-3 hours.
I figure a cross country us flight is around 4.5 hours, those games I listed proved they go the distance. I’m struggling to think of a single 3d title that would make it.

Xonotic would like a word
You can call me a shill,
But I just get an Anker Prime 27,650mAh battery bank because it supports 140w PD.
Lasts my wife and myself a 4 hours flight with maybe 30% left over.
I got it because it can charge my laptop as well.
Steam deck is 40Whr and the battery is nearly 100Whr.
So you’ll get 2.5 times longer playing time with it.
Limitations are the spice of life
