Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown makes you feel like the greatest pilot to ever live. Granted, most Ace Combat games conjure a similar feeling, but Bandai Namco has gone the extra distance in the latest installment in its classic dogfighting franchise. With some spectacular mission design and a solid if unsurprising story, Ace Combat 7 is the combat flight simulator I’ve been waiting for over a decade.

Ace Combat 7 returns the series to the franchise’s fictional universe of Strangereal, this time focusing on a war between Osea and Erusea that erupts following the construction of a space elevator near the Erusean border. You play as Trigger, a blank slate of a pilot who soon gets shipped off to a penal unit for reasons best left unexplained. Over the course of 20 missions, you’ll fly through diverse theatres of war as you strike back against Erusea, deal with an onslaught of drones, and fight to end the conflict before it boils over.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown (PS4) Review

Final Thoughts:

Ace Combat 7 marks the spectacular return of a franchise that has been gone for far too long.
