DCS World

If there is one thing you should take away from reading this, it's that this is an excellent simulator. Some people may not like DCS World because of how unnecessarily complicated and hard to control it is. If this were a game I would agree whole-heartedly with said people and would immediately give DCS World a big F. However, this is not a game in the technical sense, this is a simulator, and every simulator I have ever used has been very complex and hard to use. Because of the fact that DCS World is more simulator than game it is more realistic than most games and is harder to control and has a lot more little details that need your attention. While it may be excellent at simulating you crashing, it has a few flaws that still need to be looked into. First of all, it takes forever to load, enough said. Second, while this game is "Free-to-play" on steam, yet all but one of the aircraft are Pay-to-play. Third, the tutorial in this game relies on your ability to go through very small loops at very high speeds, which, for a inexperienced player like me, was nigh impossible. Since I could not get through those hoops, I could not easily figure out how to do anything. I thought that the point of a tutorial was to help you, not hinder you. There are not many problems with this simulator, it was actually kinda fun almost knocking my pilot out with massive G-Force and doing constant barrel rolls while missing every single enemy. So, while this may not be a casual game, it feels very rewarding and is very fun to mess around with.
