Still desperately clutching your PC joystick after all these years? Indeed, the flight genre may have died with Freespace, but we've seen something of a resurrection lately with the likes of HAWX and now Wings of Prey, newly released and packing a demo.
The game features a World War II theme, and appears to be the counterpart to the console-only IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey, if only unofficially. IL-2 is considered the best series of its kind, so that bodes well for WoP, also made by developer Gaijin Entertainment. Those scared of flight sims need not fear: the title boasts arcade, realistic and simulator settings, accomodating each type of player.
PC games are not as profitable as they used to be, so Gaijin appears to be self-publishing this one and releasing it digitally (for now, at least) to save on costs. Currently it's available on yuPlay for $50, and will soon be on Steam. Judging from the debut trailer, it should be worth it.
