When you win, it is pure skill. When you lose, it's completely due to RNG.

This is a game to play for the laughs. If you intend to play this game to build up your kitchen from a hole in the wall to one that has 3 michelin stars, turn away now.

If you enjoy laughing as you serve floor salmon to diners, then this game is for you. The controls are wonky by design, so simple tasks like chopping or flipping a steak is quite difficult. More often than not, you'll find the food on the floor.

Still, all in all, fun. Purchase on discount.

Game is fun if, and only if, you are interested in ATC and proper terminology. The voice recognition commands is the only thing that makes this game a worthy buy.

HOWEVER, there are a lot of issues with this game:

* A lot of commonly used phrases are not usable in this game. For example, "Give way to x" and "Follow x" does not work.
* In the biggest airports, the workload can quickly become unmanagable. This game combines both Tower, Ground AND RAMP control. In bigger airports (KLAX/KJFK for example), you are responsible for the ground control of all aircrafts, and all 4 runways. When it gets busy, it gets VERY busy.
* Very limited amount of airports. Right now, you only have the bigger airports from US in the game plus Munich.
* Cost. In order get other airports, you need to visit their website to get it. This means that your CC is stored elsewhere and it isn't processed by Steam. Then, you need to pay $9.99 for Real Traffic, which is critical for immersion in an ATC game. Each Airport costs $18.99, which you'll need for KSAN (Most busy single runway airport in US) or KJFK (It's KJFK!) and others (KATL/KPHL)

But! There are no colours for buildings OR the planes. To get that, you need to top up ANOTHER $6.99 PER AIRPORT.

So that's $50 for the game + $10 for real traffic + $25 PER AIRPORT, you are paying over $100 easily for a game that doesn't have a lot of content, and whose only strong point is the voice recognition technology.

* And finally, NOT ALL DLCS ARE ON STEAM. Why, just why? Airports are a DLC on Steam, but Real Traffic and Real Colours are not?

Conclusion: Get it if you like listening to liveatc.net. Otherwise, this is just too expensive.

It's so hard to get a game online, this game is made for you to buy VC. Every game on HoF is a frustrating grind.
