Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Title

I'm looking for realism. Can you play on many jets in the game and is there anything to do when you finish the missions?

I hear many times that lore of ace combat 7 was rewritten, but what was the original plot and how much it is different from what we know?

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

- - German -

Project Aces and Bandai Namco deliver with Ace Combat 7 - Skies Unknown the usual fine package out of spectucular aerial combat, a diversified missiondesign with very well-made controls and a splendid original score, but also struggles with issues in performance and a dull storytelling. Fans of the series and friends of uncomplicated and exciting dogfights still should this one their buylist.

- -

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.

Despite being undercut by too many characters and some frustrating mission parameters, Ace Combat 7 is a very welcome return to the world of Strangereal.

- -

The lesser spotted aerial combat genre makes a glorious return in this heart-pumpingly exciting game.

- -

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.

- -

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

- -

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.

- -

Strong aerial combat, an earnest story, and a varied campaign herald a victorious return to form for Ace Combat.

- -

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a solid experience for fighter plane enthusiasts, but it plays things too safe. Sticking to a tried-and-tested formula that has ensured the series' success and continuation for nearly 25 years is a sound strategy, but it lacks in innovation and any new exciting creative direction.

- -

Ace Combat 7 is a great time that has enough content and options to satisfy both, newbies and flight aficionados.

- -

Returning 12 years after the previous mainline entry, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown shows why fans have been awaiting a return to the danger zone for so long. The game features a very enjoyable campaign of respectable length alongside a serviceabale enough story, but the actual gameplay itself and exclusive PSVR support are what really stand out in the high flying Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown.

- -

Ace Combat 7 is a hugely satisfying, even empowering, experience that's taken to the next level in VR

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.

- -

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.

- - Italian -

A great restart for the Ace Combat series, a chapter perfect for both old players and newcomers.

- - Spanish -

The use of the Unreal Engine 4 raises the Ace Combat franchise to new levels. Exquisite gameplay, a long campaign... it's a pity that its multiplayer content is so scarce.

- -

Twelve years have passed since the last great Ace Combat game. Fortunately, Project Aces have ignored recent failures and instead delivered a game that might be the best in the series.

-

A successful return flight for the veteran franchise, with highly entertaining aerial action that remains accessible for new fans and old.

- -

Uncomplicated but gratifying flying, in scenarios of increasing silliness and therefore likeability.

- -

Though not without flaws, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown manages to deliver an awe-inspiring and action-packed experience.

- -

Easy to master and a campaign full of action movie-worthy missions but the game is let down by frustrating checkpointing and simplistic combat.Julian Benson

Ace Combat 7 delivers a perfectly honed iteration of a familiar framework, making vast visual and gameplay improvements while still maintaining the familiar structure of Ace Combat. Balancing the angst of seeing a war from multiple sides, every mission you fly feels consequential, your tiny contributions having an effect on the events of a world that is so much larger than the pilot known as Trigger. Ace Combat 7 is a must for flight-sim fans and a fantastic addition to the series.

-

I guess what it comes down to with Ace Combat 7 is what you are after in your flight games. If you want to tweak dials, adjust for wind resistance and make the perfect landing, this isn’t the game for you. If, however you want to take on an entire army while dodging lightning bolts, shooting missiles and doing barrel rolls then you should head to the store and slap your hard-earned cash down right now.

- -

Ace Combat fans will be very pleased with an extremely fun aerial combat game with plenty to do. The fantastic PlayStation VR mode is a must-play and a great addition to an already fantastic game.

- -

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a top entry in the long-running series that sees a return to the PS2 glory days. The war opera story is enjoyably charming, despite a rather flat cast of characters, while the gameplay is, crucially, as dramatic and slick as it's ever been. Online multiplayer and PSVR are both implemented well, and serve as great companion pieces to the main campaign. Whether you're a diehard fan or coming to this game fresh, Skies Unknown is a joy, and a series highlight.

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.

- -

Due to its niche nature, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown won’t be for everyone. You’d really need to love this style of game to get the full benefit of it. That being said, it’s a well crafted addition to the genre and may very well make some some new fans of aviation titles that were otherwise not interested

- - Italian -

In this chapter of Ace Combat, the gameplay is stripped down to a bare minimum and the air-to-ground combat is plain boring. The jaw-dropping graphics and production values will probably be enough to attract the fans of the franchise, but if arcade air fighting is not your niche, you'd better steer away.

- -

In Ace Combat 7 dogfighting games have a new Top Gun. The VR sadly turned my stomach, but the series' trademark action is bigger and better than ever, with the spectacular weather effects introducing a level of realism and drama that will win over any wannabe Mavericks.

- - Italian -

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown debuts in this console generation with an amazing experience that could easily become one of the best episodes in the series history. Thanks to a new dynamic weather and lots of amazing planes, the gameplay seems more enjoyable than ever, despite a single-player campaign that can be chaotic and a multiplayer mode that lacks of variety. We hope that Bandai Namco can support the game with new contents and gameplay modes in the future, in order to expand one of the best flight experiences available these days.

- -

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a top-notch flight combat game with one of the best VR implementations that you'll ever have the joy to experience.

- -

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown's aerial dogfighting is absolutely exhilarating in multiplayer and might very well be my #1 multiplayer game to start out 2019 once my HOTAS arrives.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown sticks to the series' formula with some cool additions like VR support
