    I'm blown away by the 0/10 scores. Reviews saying this isn't a game, it's a boring simulator. How about you pass me the crayons, so I can write the title in a way you'll understand. Not sure why people playing a game called flight simulator are getting upset about what it says on the cover.

How about you pass me the crayons, so I can write the title in a way you'll understand. Not sure why people playing a game called flight simulator are getting upset about what it says on the cover.

    Here's how it works. Spin the globe, pick your destination, click the place and a departure option comes up, click that then click the fly button and guess what? You are flying where you chose, anywhere in the world. You can pick an airport too and take off yourself from the runway. Don't expect Google Street view, cos we're not that advanced yet but what a great thing to have on your console. It's in the £9 game pass, you can't moan at that. Only complaint is damn where did all my SSD space go but I am guessing the mapping of the world takes a bloody lot of data. This is a slow relaxing flight simulator. Don't be expecting Starfox. Enjoy it for what it is, which for me is to have a nosey at places for my potential holidays .    … Expand

    I have spent around 200+ hours on this game. It's a gem of a game. Very relaxing.
    They keep updates regularly adding new plains, dlc's fixing bugs and adding hand crafted airports & monuments all the time.

    I bought MSFS2020 at launch and spend $$$ in their marketplace for addon content because Asobo/Microsoft promised that the game would have a ten year life cycle. Today, they broke that promise.

There are still a ton of missing features and game-breaking bugs that haven't been ironed out, yet.I bought MSFS2020 at launch and spend $$$ in their marketplace for addon content because Asobo/Microsoft promised that the game would have a ten year life cycle.

    Posso dizer sem dúvidas que o Microsoft Flight Simulator é um dos melhores simuladores de voo já criados. Desde o momento em que eu comecei a explorar o mundo virtual desse jogo, fiquei impressionado com o nível de detalhe e realismo que ele oferece.

    A representação dos cenários é simplesmente deslumbrante. Cada cidade, montanha, lago e monumento é reproduzido com uma precisão incrível.    Posso dizer sem dúvidas que o Microsoft Flight Simulator é um dos melhores simuladores de voo já criados.

    A representação dos cenários é simplesmente deslumbrante. Cada cidade, montanha, lago e monumento é reproduzido com uma precisão incrível. Voar sobre pontos turísticos icônicos, como a Estátua da Liberdade ou a Torre Eiffel, é uma experiência de tirar o fôlego. Além disso, a iluminação dinâmica e os efeitos climáticos realistas contribuem para a imersão total no mundo da aviação.

    A seleção de aeronaves é bastante abrangente, oferecendo uma variedade de opções para todos os tipos de pilotos. Desde pequenos aviões de hélice até jatos comerciais e até mesmo aeronaves históricas, cada uma delas possui seu próprio conjunto de características e sistemas. A atenção aos detalhes é notável, desde o interior do cockpit até a física de voo realista. Isso torna cada voo único e desafiador.

    A jogabilidade é acessível, permitindo que tanto pilotos experientes quanto iniciantes desfrutem da experiência de voo. Há também opções de assistência para ajudar os jogadores a se adaptarem e aprimorarem suas habilidades. O suporte contínuo da desenvolvedora, com atualizações regulares e gratuitas, traz melhorias e novos recursos, mantendo o jogo sempre fresco e atualizado.

    A comunidade em torno do Microsoft Flight Simulator também é incrível. Há uma grande variedade de mods, cenários personalizados e recursos adicionais criados pelos jogadores, o que amplia ainda mais as possibilidades e a diversão. A interação com outros entusiastas da aviação, compartilhando experiências e conhecimentos, é uma parte importante dessa experiência de jogo.

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s more rare for me to get into a multiplayer game. Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (9) Superb. Just shy of gaming nirvana, this score is a high recommendation because the game reviewed is head-and-shoulders above its competition.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is the most innovated accomplishment a developer has been able to accomplish. It’s impressive that you can fly through the entire world using google maps technology. You can fly above your neighborhood and see your house, where you went to school, and etc… Microsoft have been adding free updates to add more detail to worldwide notable landmarks/cities. There are training modules to help you learn how to fly a plane that relates to the real world. The only negative is that sometimes it feels like the tech for consoles is still not there yet since you’ll get booted from the game after 1-2 hours of flying in free flight mode but other times it’ll work just fine. It’s just inconsistent.    … Expand

    How, Why? Google maps the game. What's the point of this game, the graphic is good but so boring, I can literally see the same thing on google maps. The publisher can seriously put that money into SO many other games. Why not try Cuphead, even Halo.

    This is something else. This just surpassed what a ''game'' can do.
    Being able to travel the whole planet without leaving your room, that's something that as a kid I would only dream of.
    Now it's possible, and in the best way they could do it.

    Having played prior versions on PCs years ago, I really figured this would be better on my brand new series X. Load times were bordering on long, the graphics look last-gen, and the marketplace is kind of atrocious - so many paid dlc’s that do simple things like make a city more well lit or add more detail to an otherwise overlooked area of the map.

Load times were bordering on long, the graphics look last-gen, and the marketplace is kind of atrocious - so many paid dlc’s that do simple things like make a city more well lit or add more detail to an otherwise overlooked area of the map. I’m really just surprised because so many people rave about this game and the best graphics in the game are the planes and the major landmarks - everything else is really no better than viewing Google earth maps. The level of detail in the simulation aspect of the game is amazing but I really didn’t expect the marketplace, last-gen graphics, and load times. I’m running a base install with the Nordic dlc installed and I’m well over 100gb - AND the game still streams textures and models over the internet while I’m playing. Another negative is that even though the maps are huge, they’re poorly detailed. I’m very familiar with Reykjavik in Iceland, and the area surrounding Hallgrímskirkja is absolutely incorrect. So for 100+ gb and devouring isp bandwidth, you still have massive mistakes on the maps.

    I just expected more. I feel like rating this a 5 is generous.    … Expand

    First of all, it’s amazing what the developers managed to achieve with a game that made even the most expensive PC graphics cards sweat. The landscapes and cities look simply breathtaking on Xbox Series X, and the console doesn’t get red-hot. However, I did encounter some technical issues, like vanishing textures or even a sudden crash back to the main menu. I’m also not a fan of keeping the interface identical to the PC version, because it means sometimes you need to use your controller as a poor substitute for a mouse. [10/2021, p.67]

    The world's most famous flightsim has flown to the Xbox and stuck the landing. Deep gameplay and a diverse offering of planes make for hours upon hours of virtual pilot fun. You'll have to overlook some performance issues, though.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator is not without its faults. The user interface is hardly user-friendly, opting for a simple recreation of the PC version without much thought given to console gaming. The Flight Training tutorials could have some added polish to make them more accommodating to aspiring pilots. And finally, if I’m going to crash, let me crash in style. 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.
