‎There's no better title currently on Xbox Series; a completely enjoyable experience on console, which makes you forget about the PC. A technical feat for aviation simulators that has made history and that will take you by the hand for hundreds of hours of flight‎.

Microsoft Flight Simulator lands on Xbox with a great porting that, despite a few flaws and a painful UI, recreates the same, magical simulation experience that PC users has enjoyed in the past year, thanks to a great (but not perfect) controller adaptation of the main mechanics and the same additional contents provided in the last few months on PC by Asobo Studio.

Whether you are a fan or not of sims, this is a game you should at least try. Even with some tiny tech hiccups here and there, this is an experience capable of making you want to buy a bigger TV.

Flight Simulator 2020 is a game that is launched with a modest amount of content that, however, will take years to master. It is a platform that will evolve over time, but it has a really fabulous visual, physical and control base.

This phenomenal looking, remarkably detailed simulator somehow also manages to be the perfect entry point for complete beginners curious about the genre. If this is the start of a game due to be continually updated, we can’t wait to see what heights it reaches.

What we left with is the fact that Microsoft Flight Simulator is a truly unique game. It manages to be both things at once - a deep instrument for the aviation maniacs, and a great chance to explore most far away regions of our planet.

I truly wonder what will come next for Flight. Whether this simulator becomes a new defacto standard for this technology, or if Microsoft will take this marriage of game engine with satellite and real time data into something even richer as an experience. For now, I’m enjoying flying from LAX, seeing my brother’s neighborhood in Newport Beach, and heading southward to Maui to see the Road to Hana again.

Impressive use of proprietary Microsoft's maps and AI technologies aside, Flight Simulator is outstanding for the sheer amount of freedom we are given and how far it pushes our spirit of exploration. Sim fans will have a lot to chew on, and newcomers will love the "simcade" feeling offered by the customizable assist system. It's also on Xbox Game Pass, so go get it.
