Calling it “the Pacific theater” always seems somewhat disrespectful. Yet for Battlestations: Midway, the name is a𝔉ll too appropriate. Here, the Second World War really is the greatest show on earth.

At its best, the game offers a string of unique sensations, and manages to convey the sheer scale of war. Seeing a good couple of doꦗzen planes flying in formation towards a naval base - literally filling the sky - and then scattering as you swoop in to engage th൩em in your fighter, is the sort of dramatic moment we play games for.
