Microsoft Flight Simulator is the game of July 2021

It doesn't happen often to have a unanimous response to the two polls on the game of the month, but this July 2021 is just one of those moments when a single title obviously manages to get everyone to agree, given that both the editorial staff and readers have voted for Microsoft Flight. Simulator as the best game. Moreover, it is also a rather unconventional game, especially if evaluated within the console frame, where flight simulations are not really widespread nor considered proper to Blockbusters. In any case, the undeniable charm of the game built by Asobo Studio on the basis of the mighty technologies made available by Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios has struck again, about a year after its original release in PC form, and the exclusive of the house. of Redmond is back as a protagonist also on Xbox Series X | S.



For the rest, it cannot be said that July was also a period of poor content, despite it being a month summer: although there are not many triple A productions launched on the market in recent weeks, there are still several games of great impact on all platforms, including very valid indies, re-editions, remakes and new chapters of established series, the proposals have been many and varied. However, the result that emerged from the most anticipated game of July 2021 is not confirmed, given that in those polls the most coveted titles seemed to be The Ascent and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, both beaten without too many problems by Microsoft Flight Simulator, which evidently it did not present itself as one of the most anticipated titles but which nevertheless managed to hit the mark once it arrived at its destination.

The editorial team's choice

Microsoft Flight Simulator keeps its impact on Xbox Series X | S intact. Flight Simulator as the best game of July 2021. This did not happen due to enormous detachment, but the preference granted at least on a general level is still evident: the particular issue is that few have indicated it as first preference, usually resulting in second or third position among the choices expressed by each one, however on the points its practically constant presence in the top 3 of each made it emerge as the favorite game of the month. The reasons are easy to guess: despite being a very particular title, especially as regards the console landscape, the possibility of flying over the whole world with such graphic detail and realism in the reproduction of atmospheric agents, aircraft and settings is an irresistible attraction. .

The Ascent offers a particularly clear and engaging vision of cyberpunk Second place, not far from the first, is The Ascent: the particular twin-stick shooter with action RPG elements and the fantasy setting of Neon Giant represents a great debut for the indie team, and although its final form perhaps does not completely fall within the great expectations that had emerged from its first presentation to date, it remains one of the most interesting experiences seen in several months now and certainly one of the titles of the month of July 2021. Following, detached by a single point, we find Monster Hunter Stories 2, which can c always be on the big call of the Capcom series, which closes the podium for the month just ended. Immediately below, however, we find a truly combative F1 2021, much closer to the podium than to the positions below, first of all occupied by The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and Death's Door.

The choice of readers

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD still ranks in the top positions of the survey It is very easy to read the results of the survey aimed at readers of sportsgaming.win, from which the victory of Microsoft Flight Simulator emerges even more clearly , exceeding by more than double the votes collected by the second classified. Also in this case, it may seem strange that a flight simulation on console can collect all these acclaim, despite being one of the oldest videogame series on the market, but the charm is soon explained, more than by words, by any image or video on the title in question, which never fails to amaze even the most seasoned players. Below the first position the fight becomes tighter, finding The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD as the second classified at a considerable distance from the first place, but confirming how the new Nintendo Switch title has still hit the mark, as almost always happens to the series in question.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, the Capcom spin-off catches everyone's attention The re-release with high-definition graphics and applied improvements does not seem to have affected as much as others chapters of Zelda, but it is also true that it is one of the least known and popular episodes for the series, which explains the position in which it is, however very positive. Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is the third classified, therefore also among the readers the Capcom series maintains its prominent place, although it is only a spin-off of the most famous series on monster hunting, closing the podium at a percentage point away from the fourth place, or F1 2021. The new car simulation by Codemasters confirms the usual power in terms of popularity, thanks to the illustrious license that it carries and that makes it stand out above various other titles however combative, like A Plague Tale: Innocence finished very close and The Ascent and Death's Door tied.
