Microsoft Flight Simulator

Give me epic explosions or something to punctuate my failures – not just a simple black screen. If you’re currently an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, then you have no choice at all – download Microsoft Flight Simulator right at this moment and experience this amazing accomplishment in gaming. Yes, this game is a simulator, but it’s a simulator that does so many things right.

Microsoft Flight Sim is for the hardcore, for the people who already own flight sticks and whose PCs are powerful enough to wring the most out of the software. I’m not saying more casual adopters won’t enjoy it, but anyone coming to the series for the first time in 2020 or beyond will likely struggle for a few hours at the very least. Stick with it though, and you’ll find an experience like nothing else you’ve ever played.
