An absolutely amazing return to form for the series
Microsoft Flight Simulator is a massive generational leap from its predecessor, and every time I play the game I’m blown away by just how good it looks. From a completely simulated physics system with wind, weather and more, to highly detailed aircraft and airports, it’s truly something worth checking out.
It’s a technical achievement and an excellent training aid, but it’s also a brilliant piece of escapism, transcending its purpose as a tool to become something far more widely enjoyable – and I can’t recommend it enough.
Long story short, make Microsoft Flight Simulator whatever you want it to be — it can handle it.
Severe performance issues aside, Microsoft Flight Simulator is a spectacular game which manages to nail the simulation mechanics with mind-blowing visuals.
This is not a particularly forgiving game, and for folks out there that want to see just how good it can look on your screen at home, you may find yourself unable to penetrate the heart of the simulation that lies under this beautifully crafted fuselage. And that’s okay – not every game can be made for every player out there. There’s an enormous amount of enjoyment to be had in just exploring, and that speaks to me in a way not a lot of games have over the years. Cruising at 30,000 feet with the hum of the engine, the rattle of turbulence and the world below me, available in a way it never has been is absolutely worth sending a postcard home about.
With everyone looking to the upcoming consoles to provide the next-generation experience, don’t let this one slip off your radar.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 not only offered me a breathtakingly immersive experience, but it also helped with my fear of flying.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is a marvelous use of technology to create one of the most wonderful and spectacular looking games I've ever played.
Microsoft deserves a lot of credit for what has been achieved here, gamers take note as it might be a long time until we see this sort of innovation again. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is not for the enthusiasts anymore, it’s for everybody.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is an absolutely wonderful gameplay experience. There is just something undeniably magical about flying around and seeing sights that you may have only read about in a book or seen online. With so many of us still in quarantine and self-isolation, there has never been a more perfect time for this level of escapism.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is an icon and after many years of absence, it regains its status among simulators. It is a game that breaks the mold by eliminating any limit that may exist, recreating an entire planet to fly over. A deep, but accessible experience, where each user can get involved to discover the sky at the controls of an airplane.

Microsoft Flight Simulator returns to ply the skies around the world with Asobo Studio. A title that thanks to a titanic work has all the ballots to become the best flight simulator ever created.

The product basically flies on two distinct routes: the first leads to an extreme simulation and suitable for enthusiasts, while the second in the direction of a too simplified experience, without a middle ground. Notwithstanding, in any case, that the primary target of production remains that composed of die-hard fans of simulations, and in this respect there is really little to say: the work done by Asobo and Microsoft on the technical and simulation front is in fact simply colossal and cannot but be rewarded.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is well worth checking out. Hardcore simmers will love it, and for more casual players it is still undeniably fun. While the full $60 price tag ($120 for the Premium Deluxe edition) might be a bit much for gamers who typically play more traditional titles, Flight Sim will also be offered on Xbox Game Pass, which makes it a very strong value proposition. As much as we longed for more content, something kept us coming back, again and again, to try out another plane, fly over another landmark, or attempt one more tricky landing.
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.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is an absolute must have for fans of aviation, simulators ... and great games, simply.
