Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Reviews
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is undoubtedly a game of its own kind. On one hand, it maintains the complexity expected from simulators, while on the other, it offers many solutions found in games of other genres. This makes it a title not only for hardcore gamers seeking the utmost realism, but also one worth considering for more casual players, regardless of the type of experience they seek.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is the truest simulation of aeronautical use I have ever experienced. Putting aside the long load times, graphical problems, and control difficulty, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a must-buy for anyone interested in avionics.
Conquering the skies is a difficult task, but Asobo Studio, for the most part, seems to have gotten the message right. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is the most ambitious version of a simulator that has stood the test of time and rapid changes in technology – especially in the gaming industry.

Despite it’s ropey start Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is being rightly praised for being one of Asobo’s best additions to the series. Its expansive content, realism, and immersive gameplay make it a step up from the 2020 outing I loved so much. The Career Mode especially made it feel a little more game like for me, and helped me focus on a progression path to learn new aviation skills. I’m not sure if this mode is exactly what die hard flight sim enthusiasts were looking for, but hopefully the core experience from 2020 and the new in depth plane upkeep and business owning mechanics are offering something for everyone.
Unbelievable variety of aircraft and possibilities, system-deep simulation and models of countless aircraft types, fascinating and detailed 1:1 image of the globe: Microsoft Flight Simulator is an incredibly ambitious project whose teething troubles should not be overestimated.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 returns after four years with the ambitious goal of attracting new players without losing the complexity and detail that veterans of the franchise appreciate so much. Although its launch has had setbacks, such as server saturation due to its dependence on online connection and cloud technology, these problems have been resolved. With an experience that combines technological innovation and incomparable fidelity to the world of aviation, we are faced with a delivery that, with a little more polish, promises to establish itself as a must-have for lovers of the genre.

Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 is a great game, that should be better than its predecessor if not for the technical hurdles it places onto the player. With that in mind, it is probably worth waiting until you can play without the limitations of your internet connection or data usage.
"Microsoft Flight Simulator 24 is an incredible simulator in many respects; from its gameplay elements to its purely technical aspects, it offers a comprehensive and top-tier experience, even surpassing what we saw in the previous installment of the series, which completely revolutionized the flight simulation genre and beyond. However, this time, Asobo's product has hit the market in a much less polished state compared to its predecessor, with a noticeable number of issues and bugs."

If you can look beyond the occasional performance hiccups on PC and the lingering graphical quirks that continue to be addressed through updates, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is an experience that simply shouldn’t be missed. For the ultimate immersion, a flight stick is highly recommended, but even with a controller, the game delivers an engaging and authentic sense of piloting. Whether you’re soaring through familiar skies or discovering new corners of the globe, this flight sim offers a consistently rewarding journey through the breathtaking expanse of our world.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a monument to aviation in its broadest and most all-encompassing form. Asobo Studio restarts from the excellent base of the previous chapter to make the Redmond-based company's historic simulation even more vast, majestic and outsized. Stemming the difficulties of the early days related to the cloud infrastructure, the production now opens up with its unparalleled offering, for the first time smiling at the audience that is also looking for a more traditionally playful facility in addition to simulation as an end in itself. With the knowledge that the title will only get better with time (and become even more technically stable), there is no doubt about it: get ready to fly the skies around the world... for real.

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.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a detailed flight simulator with grand ambitions, dragged down to earth by technical issues that ruin the overall experience.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a solid improvement on the previous title. Whether or not the addition of the career mode, some new aircraft, and some new scenarios are worth the price tag of an entirely new game or not likely depends on how into this kind of game you are. If you are just into the free flight modes and seeing the world, the 2020 game edition does that almost as well. When playing on the Steam Deck, it might initially seem fine. If you're flying a single prop plane, a fighter jet, or even a small private jet, the performance can be fine, often staying above 25 FPS. But if you try to fly a jetliner, you'll often be playing at around 15-20 FPS, with frequent crashes making the game unplayable. Hopefully, this is just an issue with Proton right now and can be fixed, as well as Asobo optimizing the game, but I wouldn't purchase Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to play on a Steam Deck.
I imagine this can still be salvaged with a handful of desperately needed updates. When Asobo finishes fixing this game, then Flight Simulator 2024 might actually end up being worth your time. The potential is there, you can clearly see it. As it stands, however, I really don’t care it’s pretty, that it has more content, or a fully-fledged career mode; it’s simply too glitchy and unpolished for me to bother.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is recommended because it delivers what it promises: to take flight simulation to new heights. Any aviation fan will enjoy it for hours thanks to its multiple game modes and the unique immersive experience it offers. However, it should be noted that the title requires a permanent Internet connection.

But for all its ambition, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 feels weighed down by its own shortcomings. This simulator demands time, patience, and perhaps a little forgiveness. For those willing to embrace its imperfections, the horizon holds incredible promise. But that promise feels like it’s out of reach, lost somewhere in the clouds.
It’s good when it works, and if your machine can handle it.
