Airborne Kingdom
It seems so obvious, so on the nose. (You’re in the sky! Playing a game about being in the sky!) But Airborne Kingdom really is an ideal city-builder to lose yourself in when you’re cruising at 35,000 feet. Your goal, as the name suggests, is to build a flying metropolis. Unlike some of its harsher contemporaries, Airborne Kingdom is far from turbulent. The stakes are low. Citizens under your purview can’t die. Essential resources are flush. The only catch comes in the endgame, when your little domain grows into a fiefdom befitting the game’s name, straining the Switch with its sprawl. But hey, hopefully your flight’s not so long that you reach that point.
