If there was one thing missing from the 2020 Flight Simulator, it was a more game-like element to attract a broader audience beyond hardcore fans of the genre. This gap is filled in the sequel with a well-structured career mode that, thanks to a variety of activities, further enhances the simulation aspect, which remains the core of the experience. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a grand achievement that improves on every aspect of its already exceptional predecessor—a more of the same crafted with remarkable intelligence and care by the team at Asobo. While it remains a simulator not suited to every taste, I’m confident it will captivate a new audience, as it did with me.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the culmination of years of evolution in the saga, blending refined action/RPG gameplay with one of the series' most captivating settings. The contrast between Naoe and Yasuke offers distinct playstyles, encouraging variety and experimentation. Stealth mechanics are more polished than ever, while combat, though not as deep as a pure action game, remains fun and well-balanced. Feudal Japan is recreated with exceptional detail, thanks to top-tier artistic direction and a solid technical foundation, benefiting from the departure from old consoles. The seasonal cycle isn’t just aesthetic but adds meaningful gameplay dynamics, keeping exploration engaging. However, some concerns remain. The Animus Hub feels more like an unfinished concept than a true revolution, and the modern-day storyline risks becoming secondary again. Some design choices, like character switching, could have been smoother. Overall, Assassin’s Creed Shadows delivers an immersive experience that will satisfy longtime fans eager for this setting within the series' lore, as well as newcomers drawn by its Eastern allure.
