Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Review - Sortie It Out | Gamespot
(N4G PC)

Gamespot: Strong aerial combat, an earnest story, and a varied campaign herald a victorious return to form for Ace Combat.There`s more to war than just weapons and politics. Ace Combat is a series that showed us just that, hitting its stride in the early `00s with an enchanting mix of jet fighting and human melodrama. But in the past decade, its entries suffered from putting less importance in its signature stories. It dropped four games` worth of fictional lore in favor of real-world locations, traded pathos for machismo, and attempted to add cinematic blockbuster bombast to the clinical nature of flying jets, all at the cost of losing its identity. Thankfully, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown brings the series back on course and is a significant return to what it was in its prime: a thrilling interpretation of modern aerial combat that also tells a war story with heart, a conscience, and personal stakes.
