War Thunder is easily among the best of what is offered on the PlayStation Store. It stands head and shoulders above the other free to play offerings and even over many at cost. The core of this lies in the generous free to play model which allows you to play for hour and hours without paying a dime. ...A pillar of War Thunder’s longevity lies in its generous free to play model that allows you to play for hour and hours without paying a dime. That's the way free to play should be done.

As it stands, the game is lacking some key features of its PC counterpart, though there’s still plenty of compelling fun to be had by taking part in Arcade Battles, grinding up RP and SL to unlock better machines, or tackling the surprisingly challenging single-player content. ...War Thunder would really stand among the best PS4 games available to date.

With strong visuals and convincing audio backing it up, I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent inside my P-36 Hawk, and its generous free-to-play model never got in the way. It’s mostly the moments in between battles that bring the whole experience down, as a lack of information and poor menus tarnish this flying ace.
