It's now in its 20th year, but Ace Combat 7 shows that there's plenty of life yet in the series. Neither pure arcade, nor hardcore simulation, it straddles the line it needs to offer both a sense of flight and fast, furious dogfight action, even as it tells a cinematic and genuinely enjoyable story.

The Takeoff, flight and landing have been successful! Project Aces honor a tradition that spans more than 20 years with a fun and adrenaline-filled experience. After all this time, it's satisfying to know that Ace Combat is still soaring high above the clouds.

Ultimately, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a valued successor in the series and brings the franchise right back to its roots. Graphically, the game is stunning. It pops with glistening detail and lighting, and lots of delicate touches, such as the raindrops on the windows. This is matched by the bombastic sound quality which delivers pounding thrust and thundering cannons through the clouds. Whilst the campaign could be a touch longer, and it is regrettable that the VR mode is not yet present in the PC version, overall the package on offer here is well worth it for any flight combat fans.

Ace Combat 7 stands out, mainly, due to its amazing campaign and gameplay. This was my first contact with the series and AC7 became one of my favorite games for the PS4 and the biggest reason why I will accompany the series in the future.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown succeeds in designing fighters with an astonishing details, the story is somehow confusing and too complicated but the level design makes for it. Anyway apart from all these, this is the only flight action video game you could find.

Ace Combat 7 is a marvel of combat flight simulation. Putting forwards a package both concise in nature and packed with features and quirks to promote replayability and exploration, it's a game I struggled to put down. If you enjoy flight simulation, air combat, or even just a mess of explosions, bullets and lasers, I encourage you to give it a shot.
