    The game is impressive in terms of content and realism and fun, with a lot of historical vehicles to drive from air to the grounds and seas. It’s a good free to play, if you’re willing to spend a lot of time grinding the broad content.

    War Thunder arrives at Xbox One X with 4k and the new mouse and keyboard compatibility to make the best War Thunder on consoles yet.

    War Thunder is without a doubt an addictive game, but it is one that comes with a few caveats. However as a free to play title there really isn’t an excuse to not jump in and give it a go.

    The menu, currency confusion, being outclassed by pay-to-win players and lack of help is very off-putting in the beginning, but it does start to make sense if you can devote the time to learn it and stick with it. It’s not going to be for everyone, and I’d still wager it’s more catered towards the hardcore crowd, or those with disposable income, but War Thunder can be a deep and exciting game in the heat of battle. Once it’s free to play and out of Early Access, there’s no harm in giving it a shot, like your tank cannon.

    I tried to play this game, but I didn't like it, there is nothing good in it. And most importantly, the graphics are very poor quality.

    The game did not like, uninteresting, graphics so-so, boring and very predictable, expectations are not justified.

    I expected more from the game, everything is poorly done, there is nothing original, this is just disappointing.
