Defunct Games reviews Airplane Mode by Bacronym and AMC, available now on PC and Mac.
It's not that you can't make a great game out of being an airplane passenger, but rather that the developers didn't. Airplane Mode is a boring and tedious affair that is never entertaining. It's the kind of artsy anti-game that would normally eschew fun for some sort of message, but there's nothing like that to be found in this tiresome experience. Worst of all, it doesn't even get the simulation right, especially when it comes to the other passengers. If I'm going to spend six hours flying to Iceland, I sure as hell want to take in the beautiful scenery. And that's just one of the many enjoyable things you won't get to do in this awful game.
