Microsoft Flight Simulator Reviews
Microsoft Flight Simulator is a stunning showcase for the Xbox Series X. It makes a stronger case than any other game on the system about what the next generation of gaming can bring. While a little more direction and a better interface would have been nice, my head has been stuck in the clouds ever since my first jaw-dropping flight. I can’t think of a better time for the sort of freedom it provides. If you have an Xbox Series X, you owe it to yourself to check this one out.
Microsoft Flight Simulator runs amazingly well on the Xbox Series X and has been a surreal experience that will stay with me for some time. The revised tutorials and new discovery tours are superbly designed to explore wonderful locations in beautiful detail, as well as optimisations for the PC version available at the launch on consoles. It’s an experience that every type of gamer should witness for themselves.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is an absolute must have for fans of aviation, simulators ... and great games, simply.

Microsoft Flight Simulator truly brings next-gen to the masses with its extremely accurate procedurally generated world and dynamic weather system. Its mainstream appeal is sure to attract many newcomers to the world of flight simulation, which had gone stale for a while. A breath of fresh air in the endless stream of sequels and roller coaster ride action of games in 2020.

Microsoft Flight Simulator offers the most detailed, realistic and impressive flight simulator package which is also an absolute marvel to play on Xbox consoles, whether it be the Series X or less powerful Series S. Asobo Studio should be congratulated for their accomplishment in bringing this game to consoles, especially with the fact that the game offers the whole world to explore, including real-time mapping and weather systems. For newcomers to the series, that may initially find the thought of a flight simulator daunting, you can be assured that the accessibility and assistance options, along with the flight training challenges, all help to offer an experience that is enjoyable whilst still feeling authentic. For flight enthusiasts, you don’t need me to tell you that Microsoft Flight Simulator is an absolute must-buy!
Microsoft Flight Simulator is a technical feat that manages to satisfy professional pilots and flight simulation enthusiasts, yet still be interesting and accessible to non-experts with no aviation experience. Despite being a niche game and getting a bit complicated with the controls, it's essential for flight simulator enthusiasts. It is a benchmark in the genre unparalleled in quality, beauty and realism.

It is completely devoid of action. You are the one who’ll have to look for an objective to complete in it. But there’s something about it that makes it addictive and irresistible. It’s such a relaxing game that asks very little from you. It literally gives the entire world for you to explore, with an astonishing degree of realism, with simple controls and a laid-back atmosphere.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is a true masterpiece on Xbox, capable of setting new standards and, notwithstanding some smears, of tracing a path for the new generation. The extremely high level of simulation, the excellent technical component and the possibility of faithfully exploring practically every point on Earth make this new chapter a must-have for all flight enthusiasts, but thanks to the many aids it can also be appreciated by those who have never tried a similar title. Unmissable.

In an overview it can be said that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is just that: a powerful deployment of forces by the publisher and a masterful use of the aforementioned forces by the developer to bring the Flight Simulator series back to the fore in great pomp. The result is exceptional and the most famous flight simulator puts on paper its superiority once again, thanks to unimaginable technologies even just 10 years ago. You are all invited on board: make yourself comfortable (but not too much) and enjoy the flight from start to finish.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is truly a breathtaking game. The realism and depth that this game has managed to achieve is second to none, but it once again needs to be stated: this isn’t a game in the traditional sense; there is no story or action or objectives.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is by far the safest way to fly this year and the only right way to fly in the virtual world.

The Microsoft Flight Simulator breathes new life into the genre thanks to ultra realistic graphics, no question. But does the simulator offer an incentive for this target group in the long run? When you have flown through New York, photographed your not very precisely recreated home town and explored your last vacation destination from above again? For simulation enthusiasts, on the other hand, the game offers everything you can dream of. Just the possibility of being able to turn every wheel in the multitude of cockpits is a great attraction. Those who are willing to get behind the wheel and learn will be delighted with a detailed replica of reality. Also the huge amount of supported joysticks, pedals and gamepads shows that especially purists can have fun with it. And this is exactly what Microsoft wants to satisfy in the long run.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is one of the oldest PC game series, a particularly beloved franchise endorsed by an audience of simulation and aviation enthusiasts. The 2020 edition, brought to life by developer Asobo Studio in conjunction with Microsoft, is sure to attract a new generation and fan base to the fold. It is a game that can be recommended both to fans of simulation, and to those who, like myself, had the closest thing to simulation with Elite: Dangerous Putting together, on the one hand, the obvious inclusion of enhanced images, the almost magical addition of a completely recreated and explorable Earth, built and populated with images from Microsoft's Bing satellite and Azure cloud computing service, and on the other, some deep mechanics and a well-crafted sense of realism elevate the series to new heights.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is less a game and more of a technical marvel. Since the world is in lockdown, your next option is to explore the world through the cabin of Cessna Citation CJ4
Microsoft Flight Simulator’s simple elegance allows for a true serene gaming experience.
Flight Simulator is an incredible achievement and a great pickup for anyone looking for a long term PC game to enjoy.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is extremely well done and if you're still undecided whether it's for you or not, there's nothing easier than giving it a shot in Xbox Game Pass.
