Along with games where flying is front and centre, many other games offer nuanced flight as part of their experience, like Rocket League. These games can range from novel superpowers that let you swing, boost or bounce your way into the sky like Marvel's Spider-Man, to serious experiences that simulate the complexities of flying a jumbo jet in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

It's not surprising then, that many video games are popular because they grant the player the ability to soar through the air. The dream of being able to fly seems to be a universal human desire.
