MFS Is Perfect For A Superhero Who Flies Around All Day
The Ideal Game For Both Superman And Clark Kent
Microsoft Flight Simulator, orany flight simulator game, may just be the perfect game for a character like Superman. Since the core gameplay ofMFSis to fly around in an incredibly detailed recreation of the world in actual aircraft models, theappeal to a character that spends the majority of his heroic time flyingaround to save the world is obvious. Most of Superman’s time in the air is likely spent fighting world-ending threats, so a version of flight without kaijus or intergalactic armies would be quite relaxing.
Microsoft Flight Simulatoris not only the perfect game for Superman, but a very fitting game for Clark Kent. As an affable, nerdy, and altogether kind figure, Kent seems exactly like the kind of person who would pull outMicrosoft Flight Simulatorto relax after a day at the Daily Planet or even bond over with his father, Pa Kent.
