Uncomplicated but gratifying flying, in scenarios of increasing silliness and therefore likeability.
Top Critic
The lesser spotted aerial combat genre makes a glorious return in this heart-pumpingly exciting game.
Top Critic
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.
Top Critic
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
Top Critic
Strong aerial combat, an earnest story, and a varied campaign herald a victorious return to form for Ace Combat.
Top Critic
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.
Top Critic
That being said, this is an excellent game and a fantastic Ace Combat game, and I’m glad to see the main series making a return after so many years
Top Critic
Ace Combat 7 brings us 30 of the world´s most advanced war planes to engage different combat scenarios (escorting civilian planes, attacking refineries, evading enemy radar, facing an enemy ace...). Although it is an arcade, planes feel realistic and we enjoyed 8 player online mode and VR levels for PS4 version.
