Developer Asobo Studio Publisher Xbox Game Studios Format PC, Xbox Series Release 2024
Even with anit takes a little while for the penny to drop: this isn’t an expansion, but a standalone sequel. We bristle – until we realise it’s somehow been four years since Asobo’s successful reboot and that it’s not too soon for a followup. Not least given what’s on offer here: encouraging you to “pursue your dream of a career in aviation”, it presents a huge variety of options, from helicopter mountain rescue and cargo-transport operations to crop-dusting missions. There are scientific research quests that ask you to fly close to climatological phenomena, VIP charter flights, and hot-air balloon tours besides. It’s a clever way to encourage you to try out a variety of flying vehicles, giving you time to adapt to their handling and work your way towards mastery.
