The WhatsNext verdict

If you enjoy compact, high-pressure score attacks built around routing and timing, Flight Control HD delivers a clean and unusually addictive challenge. It is less suited to players who need broad content variety or orderly multiplayer.

What it does best

  • High-score chasing creates a remarkably sticky one-more-run loop

  • Real-time air-traffic routing becomes a nerve-wracking tactical puzzle

  • Instantly understandable controls hide substantial escalating pressure

What might put you off

  • Repetition can wear thin

  • Four-player local multiplayer becomes chaotic

The setup

What you are walking into

You’re an air traffic controller at an increasingly busy airport; just point and drag aircraft to their landing zones with your mouse or trackpad. Sounds easy? It isn’t! You’ll need nerves of steel and smart strategy to keep the chaos under control. Flight Control HD has been especially redesigned for PC and Mac, with updated graphics and an even tougher new challenge – the Steam exclusive Stunt map where you can increase your score by flying through the gates before landing.
