Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Reviews
Fans of Ace Combat will no doubt be all over this big return, and while anyone on the outside looking in won’t be able to just hit the ground running, there is enough substance here to make that daunting journey worthwhile.
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is an excellent package. Its overly-complex narrative bogs down so much of what makes the game a carefree thrill ride, but a great campaign structure, intense multiplayer and a VR tour de force make this the best game in the storied franchise and one every pilot should pick up.
Ace Combat 7 is what the sim-arcade Bandai Namco series needed. New technologies, a great campaign and an interesting vr mode are the element for this Ace Combat mix.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown sticks to the series' formula with some cool additions like VR support
The VR Mode is the big draw of Bandai Namco's new flight combat simulator, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, but it is more limited than you might have hoped.
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.
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.
If you're looking for something out of the ordinary and have immense patience for an inconsistent checkpoint system, it's well worth a look in.
Mission structure can get a little repetitive by the late game, but plenty of unlocks keep the experience pretty fresh the whole way through. Given the general lack of many Ace Combat games on Nintendo platforms, I'll also note that you by no means need to have played the rest of the series to enjoy this one. This is an easy recommendation and a great late generation addition to any list of remarkable Switch ports.
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.

Overall, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is an awesome game and a must-have for any Ace Combat fan, as well as a great game for players who enjoy fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled thrill rides in short doses.
Ace Combat return after a long time with a lot of positivity and with a gameplay that lives up to the standards of the series. Even with some negative aspects, the core of the game and its amazing gameplay will please both the fans of the series and the newcomers.

New installment of Ace Combat is good for console players and fans, but not for more exacting PC players.

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.

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.
Though not without a little turbulence from the convoluted story and uneven difficulty, Ace Combat 7 delivers a fun and polished arcade flight experience that should entertain newcomers and veteran pilots alike.
A great comeback for the series which is really fun to play, until you discover some problems that are typical for this type of games.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is the game that all fans of series expect. Beautiful graphics, smooth gameplay and briliant level design are some of the reason that you should experience it. If developers paid more attention to story and multiplayer, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown could have been even betther, but still it's a must-buy game and one of the best installment in Ace Combat series.
