Jun 3, 2014War Thunder has some issues here and there, but it’s a very competent flying and ground war game that doesn’t let its microtransaction component get in the way. There’s plenty of tanks and planes to try out and modify to your liking, and just enough visuals to enjoy along the way. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid game.

Jun 20, 2014It’s mostly the moments in between battles that bring the whole experience down, as a lack of information and poor menus tarnish this flying ace.

Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaMar 3, 2014Easy to get into, difficult to master, and free as a bird. Definitely sample-worthy. [February 2014, p79]

Jan 21, 2014With plans for naval and ground vehicle combat, War Thunder has the potential to become one of PS4’s darkest horses. It’s punishing, sure – but guiding a precious bird to victory causes your chest to swell with imaginary medals every time.

Games Master UKJan 14, 2014There's a neat tactical flight experience here, but the interface still needs work. [Feb 2014, p.73]

Dec 15, 2013Even as a beta release this is an impressively entertaining, and accessible, combat flight simulator, and a welcome break from the shoot ‘em-up norm.

Nov 27, 2019The game is clearly not my choice. Low graphics and few modern tanks available. I am very disappointed.
