  • Ultrawings 2 offers fun and immersive arcade-style flight gameplay suitable for both casual players and VR enthusiasts, with intuitive motion controller support.
  • The game features improved graphics, diverse planes, varied missions, and an enjoyable progression system, making it a worthy sequel to Ultrawings 1.
  • It provides solid performance across several VR headsets, with nice sound design, satisfying air acrobatics, and anticipated multiplayer and HOTAS support enhancements.
  • The PCVR/Steam version suffers from numerous technical issues including controller recognition problems, lack of Virtual Desktop support without complicated workarounds, and abandoned or slow developer support.
  • Flight controls, especially HOTAS integration, are either broken or incomplete, frustrating users who want more realistic or customizable inputs.
  • The game world and environments are criticized for being overly simplistic, repetitive, and lacking immersion compared to other flight sims; some mission types can be tedious, and the overall content depth may feel shallow.

    The story in Ultrawings 2 adds a light, cartoony narrative with a variety of engaging missions, including combat and stunt flying, which many players find enjoyable and well-paced. While some missions can become repetitive or frustrating due to difficulty spikes and occasional glitches, the overall single-player content and progression through increasingly unique aircraft offer a satisfying experience. The sequel improves significantly on its predecessor with more diverse and immersive missions, contributing to a compelling flight simulation on Quest headsets.

    • “Complete with storyline, missions and stunt flying and customizable aircraft.”
    • “The missions are mostly the same, balloon pop, timed ring course, landing challenge, etc., they are different in that there is now a sort-of storyline which adds air and ground combat.”
    • “A wonderful game, only played through the first plane's missions so far but it's been fantastic so far.”
    • “Only complaint is that the difficulty ramps up quickly, sometimes jarringly, and repeating the same mission a hundred times gets old.”
    • “The other thing is that missions are finicky and can be frustrating.”
    • “The missions are mostly the same: balloon pop, timed ring course, landing challenge, etc. They are different in that there is now a sort-of story line which adds air and ground combat.”

    The graphics show significant improvements over the original, featuring colorful, clean, and cartoony visuals with a polished, Nintendo-like style that balances simplicity and appeal. While not ultra-realistic, the visuals are pleasant, run smoothly on lower-end systems, and enhance the overall engaging atmosphere of the game. Some users note occasional dissatisfaction with the simplistic art style or lack of customization options, but most agree the sequel offers better and more detailed environments.

    • “Great improvements on graphics compared to the original.”
    • “And the sequel is better in every way: more missions, bigger and more detailed environments, better visuals, addition of combat and even a helicopter.”
    • “Ultrawings brings pleasant graphics with a nice, clean style, just enough realism to make the game compelling, and a nice, upbeat attitude with fun missions and music to play with.”
    • “Graphics are nowhere close to screenshots, controls suck.”
    • “And I'm not enjoying time spent in the overly simplistic art style created for the world.”
    • “From the moment you load it up it looks and feels identical to the first one, except for a few graphic tweaks.”

    The gameplay offers smooth, high-frame-rate flying with visually sharp maps reminiscent of PS2 era, but currently lacks depth in mechanics and content. However, with around 60 hours of single-player mode and additional planned multiplayer modes, it provides substantial gameplay value for flight game enthusiasts.

    • “The maps are like PS2 era but with high, sharp textures and smooth 90fps gameplay.”
    • “If you are looking for a flying game that has great gameplay and is great fun to play, this game is for you.”
    • “When you consider there are about 60 hours of gameplay in single-player mode, the price of the game is a bargain at £19.50.”
    • “There's just no real reason to waste your time for now as the game is about as deep as a puddle in both gameplay mechanics and content.”
    • “Hopefully they are planning some real gameplay; otherwise, I have no idea why you would pick this over any other flight sim.”
    • “Gameplay: https://www.youtube.”

    The music in the game is generally well-received, described as pleasant, upbeat, and fitting the fun, semi-realistic flight simulation experience. Some users suggest muting the in-game music in favor of classic OSTs like Pilotwings 64, but overall, the soundtrack, along with sound effects like reverberation, adds to the immersive atmosphere.

    • “I love the music, and the developers are busy working on more good stuff to add to the game-- multi-user dogfights & racing DLC.”
    • “Ultrawings brings pleasant graphics with a nice, clean style, just enough realism to make the game compelling, and a nice, upbeat attitude with fun missions and music to play with.”
    • “The music is perfect, the voice acting great and small details like reverby echoes when you fly under bridges and through tunnels are a really nice touch.”
    • “In-game music feels like you're playing a worms game, like you're 5.”
    • “Mute the in-game music and play the Pilotwings 64 OST.”
    • “The music, large map, and approachable but detailed plane controls make this game straight up fun for anyone not very knowledgeable on aviation but looking for a semi-realistic flight sim to get into.”

    Users report that the game generally runs well, especially on Quest 2 via Airplay, with intuitive flying mechanics; however, occasional glitches—such as those occurring after mission completion—can cause some frustration.

    • “Anyways, I've just experienced two glitches after completing missions; both occurred at the landing.”
    • “Grant it, I'm not the best with troubleshooting but I do have quite a few games and this one holds the title of being the most irritating waste in my library.”

    Grinding in the game is considered tedious, particularly during dog fighting drone segments, which are made more frustrating by poor plane handling and obstructive cockpit views.
