7 Most Overrated Video Games Of 2021

3. Microsoft Flight Simulator (Xbox)

Not criticising the reality of being able to hop in a Boeing 747 and fly in real time to photo-realistic Mt. Fuji, admiring satellite-accurate weather patterns along the way. That... is genuine science-magic made playable.

No, what kinda sucks about Microsoft Flight Sim on console... is that VERY little work was done to actually make it feel remotely satisfying as a console experience.

We're talking obtuse as hell, mouse cursor-driven menus, online guide-requiring steps to modify your controls and add basic features. Getting anything more out of this other than picking destinations and hoping for the best sees you diving into tons of FAQs online, alongside breakdowns of what different alarm sounds or parts of your plane's dashboard even mean.

Microsoft Flight Sim is a staggering achievement in code, but if you're bringing it to a system without mouse, keyboard or a wider set of shortcut bindings i.e. a whole new audience who need to be onboarded significantly - it needed a UI, controls and presentation overhaul.
