Take to the skies in this World War II-based rival to Blazing Angels.
Its not something that we get to indulge in all that much in console gaming.
There are 20 main story missions and an additional 50 standalone ones.
Oddly, it makes you appreciate the game world far more.
The world of IL-2 Sturmovikis much more like the real world than your average game.
In the fast casual mode, this dry environment doesnt quite make sense.
Step up the difficulty and the pieces slot together.
You actually start feeling like you are actually a WWII fighter ace, andSturmovik IL-2s attractions become clear.
Even just the clouds by themselves are worth marvelling at.
Check out the simulation mode, the games hardest difficulty, and the sim aspects get seriously impressive.
