Amazing graphics but questionable physics

User Rating: 6 | Microsoft Flight Simulator PC

If I were reviewing this game based on the graphics alone, it would be 10/10. The graphics are just insanely beautiful. But as a flight simulator, the handling of the aircraft in the game is pretty disappointing so far. I hope it will improve over time. If you're a casual simmer or someone new to the genre, you will love it. But as someone who has piloted real aircraft, my strong opinion is that real planes simply don't behave the way they do in this game. While no sim truly captures what it is like to pilot a real plane, I still feel X-Plane's experience is more believable. True, there are a variety of planes and you can't judge the flight model based on some default aircraft. That said, the planes I've flown in MSFS have quite a few oddities to the point that I can't fully enjoy the flying part of the experience. But again, it's stunning to look at.
