Critic Reviews for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
Uncomplicated but gratifying flying, in scenarios of increasing silliness and therefore likeability.
Ace Combat 7: Unknown Skies doesn't do a lot ot update its classic arcade-style dogfighting, but it does look great and its gameplay holds up for the most part.
The lesser spotted aerial combat genre makes a glorious return in this heart-pumpingly exciting game.
A successful return flight for the veteran franchise, with highly entertaining aerial action that remains accessible for new fans and old.
The game makes you work for each kill, and as a result you feel like you've achieved something notable with almost every ace you down
Strong aerial combat, an earnest story, and a varied campaign herald a victorious return to form for Ace Combat.
When it's firing on all cylinders, Ace Combat 7 absolutely soars as a return to form for a series thought dormant. It'll be interesting to see how Bandai Namco might take things forward from here on, but for now, the series is flying high and steady once again.
