ACE COMBAT™ 7: SKIES UNKNOWN Reviews

Great game unlike vhs and a good story. If u like jets you should for sure get this game

Started since playstation 2, Ace Combat 7 is rich in story line and fast paced action. Still a good looking game 6 years later.

First mil flight sim i've played since HAWX 2. Having a great time, aside from that stupid sandstorm mission. Whoever thought that up needs to be pelted with rotten eggs.

The game is really beautiful and has a good story! A story close to the truth!!!

Super fun arcade style dog fighting game. Playing with dual joysticks and the VR mod (UEVR) makes it top-notch. There is a story, but you're not really playing it for the story :/

Ace Combat 7 is a blood-pounding, cinematic return to the Strangereal skies, and it absolutely soars when it leans into spectacle. I grew up playing these games on console, so finally seeing the series available on the PC was exhilarating. The controls are sharp, responsive, and feel incredible once you get the hang of them. It’s one of those systems that’s easy to learn but super rewarding to master. Visually, it’s a stunner. The weather effects are intense and immersive, and the clean, simple UI keeps the focus on flying. I will say, the upgrade system is oddly tucked away, I was halfway through the game before I even realised it existed. While the story starts off slow and its early beats are a bit forgettable, things pick up emotionally in the second half. Recurring characters and some solid late-game moments give it weight, but not all of it lands. Some characters clearly matter to the writers, but it doesn’t always translate to the player. My biggest gripe? Scripted moments inside live play, scripted waiting rooms than actual challenges. Just when you’re in the zone, locked on, ready to land that perfect shot, hearts pumping, boom: scripted immunity kicks in, and the moment’s gone. It’s frustrating and really breaks the immersion during otherwise epic encounters. That said, the soundtrack, aircraft variety, and the thrill of dog fighting in stormy skies are enough to keep pulling you back, whether it’s for another campaign run or just to mess around in free play or modded missions. If you’re craving high-speed aerial action, cinematic set pieces, and a sky that feels alive with weather and war, Ace Combat 7 absolutely delivers. It falters a bit in story depth, progression design, and long-term replayability, but it nails the core experience where it counts.

This game perfectly captured all of the nostalgia I have surrounding this series. That's it. That's the review.

pretty good flight combat sim. early game is kind of a hassle but once you get better planes in the mid-to-late campaign, it gets alot more easier and fun. never played multiplayer and never will negative points for forcing 1080p aspect ratio though. japanese devs really need to optimize for ultrawidescreen

Ace Combat 7 is a great addition to the franchise, don't go expecting simulator, this is an arcade game. Has some interesting missions and banger OST.

A mute psychopath destroys the entire military while enduring unending missile alerts, and enough g's to physically disintegrate a person, featuring nickleback vocalist as your emotional support, because he does nothing else.
