If you're new to the flight sim genre, the good news is that you can still play and enjoy Microsoft Flight Simulator—and you don't need a fancy flight stick either. The game is heaving with assists and accessibility options, meaning you can make it as hardcore or as laid back as you want. If you want a chill, gentle flying experience, exploring the world at your own pace without worrying about crashing or snapping your plane in half, you can. It even maps nicely to an Xbox controller, meaning you can connect your PC to the TV and play it sprawled on the sofa. I did this a few times and it worked really well.
