I time travel with unciv. This is how I once survived a 15 hour long haul flight.
If you like an RPG, Diablo style, there is also FLARE (Free/Libre Action Roleplaying Engine)
“OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe.”
5 hours is enough to get addicted to this crack…
Lichess.org for online chess, or (most private of all) a physical travel board if you’re with a friend who wants to play. Lichess isn’t very private but definition though. Not sure why you asked in c/privacy? Anyway what happened to reading a book on a bus trip?
Oh try universal paperclips if you haven’t. 5 hours is about right for finishing it. That’s pretty private.
Don’t know what you are into, or playing on but I’ve been enjoying endless sky recenty:
Great way to pass a little or a lot of time
maybe try out pico8
Battle for Wesnoth, if you’re into that kind of thing.
I usually turn to shattered pixel dungeon
It also recently got a new class.
0AD. Similar to Age of Empires
friday night funkin is surprisingly apache
Anuto TD and Breakout 71 are good time killers on the phone. Open TTD if you are into sims and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead if you want post apocolyptic turn based survival horror rougelike. There are also quite a few RPG fangames based on Lisa the Painful.
If you are fine with VNs (visual novels) as games, there is Katawa Shoujo. There is a “remastered” version of it in F-Droid for android: https://f-droid.org/packages/sh.fhs.ksre/
If you are going to use a laptop (linux natively supported): https://www.katawa-shoujo.online/download
Doom is always great. FOSS up to Doom 3, but you still need the full games for the assets. If you don’t have them there is still Freedoom. And The Dark Mod is a great free Thief like game on the Doom 3 engine.
Stronghold Defense mod is amazing. It’s basically a base defense game against hundreds of enemies parading towards you, with custom weapons and power ups.
The Dark Mod is certainly the best and most advanced OpenSource game I know (well, not full OpenSource, because the user created missions, currently 170, are with several CC licensed assets, released because of this as freeware)
Install Warzone 2100, start poking the game files, adjust various numbers and see what happens. Give your cannons massive range, make every unit super cheap to manufacture or whatever. Your imagination is the limit. Play the game however you want. The game itself is good, but hacking it is just so much more fun.
