Flight Simulator at launch is only the beginning, as it’s set to be a game that evolves and grows over time rather than being a static product. If this was all the game would be, it’s great as-is. No matter whether you buy it, or download it via Game Pass, you’re getting the best flight simulator to-date. Microsoft Flight Simulator soars to new heights, and has easily been worth the the fourteen year wait.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is nothing short of revolutionary, featuring an almost impossibly large, authentic and living open world that's bound to take your breath away. Asobo and Xbox Game Studios have delivered a truly special entry in this historic franchise, and it's only going to get better in the years to come.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a demonstration of what games might look like in the future. The title draws handfuls of modern technologies to provide the next-gen experience. You don't have to be a fan of the genre to appreciate this title.

The Xbox Series X version of Microsoft Flight Simulator works best if you look at it as the closest approximation that anyone could get to a sophisticated flight simulator without a beefy PC. The cracks start to show when you check the ground for details, and the frame rate could be better, but it remains a stunning game that showcases the system's power. The controls remain technical enough to scare away the easily intimidated, but the number of tutorials and assists ensure that you can get into the air with ease - even if getting back on the ground can be a challenge. It does well in its promise to let players see the world from above, and if you have the patience to deal with a byzantine menu system and don't want to fire off any missiles, you'll enjoy the countless hours you can spend with Microsoft Flight Simulator.

When all is said and done, Microsoft Flight Simulator in its current state reminds me a lot of Sea of Thieves shortly after launch. The game has a lot of promise and a lot of potential, but it is marred by a number of issues that keep it from really shining. Once the issues have been worked out in six months or a year from now, I fully expect Microsoft Flight Simulator to be a must-have title. Right now, unless you are a hardcore flight sim fanatic, I would pass on buying the premium version and just stick to playing the basic version that's included with GamePass.

After all, Microsoft Flight Simulator is a unique and unique simulation game, and to date the simulation has not been built as wide as it is, and it is unlikely to be made anytime soon. If you have a powerful PC, get this game and go see the world! This game is not only a flight simulator, but also a tourist simulator.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is an almost absolute simulator. Piloting an Airbus, turboprop or a regular avionics has never been so enjoyable and so educational. Here you will really learn how to become a real pilot!

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.

The latest version of Microsoft's Flight Simulator series is without a doubt the finest work by Asobo Studios yet, one that took full advantage of Microsoft's mapping technology to create one of the best games ever. Flight Simulator 2020 takes a huge leap forward in terms of visual technologies and sets a whole new standard for the Simulation genre, and things get even more exciting after Asobo announced that the 2020 version is going to be a huge 10-year project and the game that we have our hands on right now is just the beginning.
