The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a point-and-click detective game with lengthy court sessions where you tell a frazzled lawyer when to scream, “OBJECTION!” There are no action-packed sequences to navigate. If a bit of turbulence causes you to forget the last court argument, you can always revisit the past five minutes of dialogue. You can save at any time. Even if you accidentally fall asleep and drool all over your Switch, nothing bad would happen to your in-game progress. If you enjoy reading riveting period dramas, then you should absolutely bring Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on your next flight. I’ve played this game on New York City’s infamously bumpy transit system, and it almost caused me to miss my stop. You wouldn’t have that problem on a plane, so go for it! — Sisi Jiang
