I'm flying to London next week and looking for something fun to play. Any suggestion? I'll be playing on a macbook air, so unfortunately I think that limits my choices dramatically.

^^^Lots of indy games aren't very demanding. A good timekiller might be Stardew Valley, farming game like Harvest Moon from way back. Many are better with a gamepad though as controlling on a laptop can be a pain. Deadcells is one I have been playing lately.

I picked up human fall flat, neon chrome, cook serve delicious 2 and curious expedition. Had been on my wishlist forever and now were finally cheap. Also got the Hitman GOTY dlc to support IO now that they own the rights to hitman.

if you're looking for an older RTS that works great on low end laptops, check out Rise of Nations. myself and some friends have been playing it a lot lately. tons of fun and only 5 bucks.
