I am a big fan of the "Boku wa Koku Kanseikan" (aka Bokukan) games. Known worldwide as "Air Traffic Controller" or "I want to be an Air Traffic Controller", the game has been a staple for air traffic controller sim (puzzle) gaming. [Note: I will be using the name "Bokukan 4" instead of typing "I am an Air Traffic Controller 4" throughout this review] With Bokukan 5 to be released in 2026, it's a long-waited game as "Bokukan 4" is an older game that was released in 2015, but added to STEAM in 2020, giving fans internationally a chance to play and enjoy the game. With that being said, with this being an older game, the graphics looks somewhat dated when compared to its newer counterpart, "Bokukan Airport Hero" which is available on consoles like the Nintendo Switch and looks much more vibrant and newer. Now, you may ask yourself? Which one should I get "Bokukan4" or "Bokukan Airport Hero". Personally, there is nothing wrong with getting both, but one benefit of getting the PC version is the option to play airports that are not available on Airport Hero. Currently, Airport Hero is limited to Centrair, Haneda and Narita and it's All Star releases featuring official liveries and more. Now let's talk about Bokukan 4, as mentioned this is a 2015 game released on STEAM in 2020 by TechnoBrain. There are 11 releases out for the PC. But Technobrain focused on releasing 5. So, no... you are not going to get Sendai, Centrair, Fukuoka, Kanku, Haneda 2 or the extra challenges but the Steam base game does come with Haneda. Fortunately, at least they released five DLC. As for the DLC, they do go on sale but similar to most Japanese simulators, where sales never happen. at least Bokukan 4 has received a sale on Steam, granted maybe $25 but that's still better that $39.99. Before you complain of how expensive it is, consider yourself lucky because in Japan, they retail for Y9020 (which is a lot in Japan, of course the US dollar is better and that translates to $58). And possibly a bummer for some is that the STEAM English release of these games are not the same as the Japanese versions. Instead of licensed airplanes, you get generic colored ones. But to be truthful, it's not a big letdown. At least they make an effort to show a plane that may look like JAL or ANA. So, what I love about "Bokukan4" is that it keeps its Japanese pilot and air traffic controller vocals, the jingles, the plane announcements and more. It's been a part of this series and more so now, where both Bokukan and Airport Hero games utilize it a lot. While there are easy stages, as you progressively beat those stages then you start moving up and things get hectic, challenging and you literally have to be a master thinker and planning routes on the fly. Trying to prevent collisions because you can have two plans landing and each want to use the same runway. Meanwhile, two departing will want to use the same runways. So you will need to come up plans of changing routes, when to taxi, when to hold and more. I absolutely love this game and more so because it's in Japan and features airports that I have been to. I personally don't have any problems playing this game. Not one game stutter but I don't play on a potato and while I'm playing, I'm streaming on YouTube at the same time. The next thing I want to bring up is there are people who want to compare to "Tower! Sim 3". While both have similar elements for gameplay, TS3 is more in-depth with the choices (ie. using voice control or typing), you are having to vocally or type commands to the pilots but you can correct your mistakes. "Bokukan 4" is more of a click of a button, you screw up, you can cause a collision. But it tests your attentiveness and also familiarity with the airport layout and coming up with quick on the fly solutions. Also, there is much more dialogue on "Bokukan 4" and no doubt puzzle/simulator, whereas TS3 is play at your own pace, if you want it easy or hard, choose the time of the day and weather conditions. Not the case for "Bokukan 4". But both games have similar elements but are very different, but for me, both games are essential in my video game collection and enjoy both immensely. Now if you want to choose between "Bokukan 4" (Steam) or "Bokukan Airport Hero" (Switch), which would I choose? I would choose "Bokukan Airport Hero" for the newer visuals, the vast number of sales and DLC content. Granted, you may need to purchase from the JP store for some of the releases but they are awesome games. I would choose "Bokukan 4" if you don't mind playing this older PC game that is still enjoyable in 2026. And also If you don't mind the slightly expensive cost to the DLC content. It's still worth playing and very fun and enjoyable. But do know that "Bokukan 5" is coming out this year. I recommend this game! I really do enjoy it and it's console versions. Definitely worth owning!
Thought I would drop a review. I do like the game. I would call this a mix between a game and a simulation. There are other ATC titles that require much more knowledge about aviation to play and a lot of prep work and hard learning curves to overcome before you can really enjoy the title. https://youtu.be/cXqgyYO8uxA?si=-ylf7lZyQzlWo93k
