Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown requires a certain grasp of combat flight mechanics from past gameplay experience, which makes it punishing and brutal for newcomers. Long-time fans, however, should seek comfort and pleasure in taking to the skies once again as they relive the thrill of flying and dogfighting, while being treated to polished, finely-detailed visuals.

Ace Combat's core gamepad controls are well-honed and accommodates for all skill levels. By comparison, a flight stick demands way more focus, rewarding your efforts with exhilarating, authentic dogfighting action.

Ace Combat 7 is a visually striking game with a top tier soundtrack and excellent performance. That said the game is challenging and unforgivable for newcomers but an enjoyable experience overall.

Ace Combat is not one of the best known titles in our country, yet it has always offered an excellent story, and even better gameplay in the form of beautiful air battles with a shrapnel of Japanese gunfire. Although it may not seem at first glance, the game offers substantial depth in just a few pages, and it is so engaging that it will attract people unaffected by the series.

Ace Combat: Skies Unknown not only returns a classic series back to the heights of its predecessors but also reinvigorated its entire genre. There aren’t many games like this available on current generation systems and, if there were, Ace Combat would still shine above them all.

After games like Assault Horizon and Ace Combat Online, we finally have a sequel to the great Fires of Liberation. Skies Unknown not only brings great gameplay and combat mechanics, but also has some beautiful environments worthy of a photo mode. In the case of PS4, it's VR component is short but something we would love to play more.

It is not easy to find anything negative in Ace Combat: Skies Unknown, unless one wants to wonder why they did not focus more on missions and less on a script that, even if it was missing, the gameplay would not lose any of its quality.

If you can get over the terrible story and a few frustrating missions, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a solid arcade flight sim.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a great dogfighting game with realistic graphics and features. Flying feels great and is easy at first sight, but hard to master. On the contrary, the story feels incomplete and empty.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a solid experience for fighter plane enthusiasts, but it plays things too safe. Sticking to a tried-and-tested formula that has ensured the series' success and continuation for nearly 25 years is a sound strategy, but it lacks in innovation and any new exciting creative direction.

At this moment in time, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is only really brought down by the occasional frustration felt upon the often unfair failure of a mission. Its campaign really is great overall, but sometimes you’ll curse when a timer imposed upon you expires when you’re just shy of meeting a score target.
