To describe what makes Pilotwings 64 such a good game, I couldn't honestly give you an answer for it. I suppose it comes down to the atmosphere of the game. But before I get to that specifically, here's some background on the game. Pilotwings 64 is the beloved sequel to the SNES game Pilotwings and was released as a launch title for the Nintendo 64 alongside a little game called Super Mario 64. In Pilotwings 64, you can choose between three vehicles and six characters each with their strengths and weaknesses. Anyway, as I said before, the atmosphere of the game is what made it so good. Like seriously, you get to fly around an island and even though you complete objectives, they're not difficult. It's a casual experience complimented by such smooth relaxing music and it's fun. However, the best thing about this game is Birdman. If you've played it, chances are you'll agree with me on that. So there you have it, today's game of the day.
