    I've been in love with this franchise since AC4. It's a good game, but it doesn't hold a candle to the PS2 era masterpieces.

It's a good game, but it doesn't hold a candle to the PS2 era masterpieces. The gameplay mechanics steal the show, this is the most refined flying experience in the entire franchise, I loved it. The story is a bit weaksauce though. I failed to really feel love and care for my squadron and other game personalities, and the boss fights are basically nonexistent. AC always used to hit you with a superweapon every now and then, Stonehenge, the Arkbird, the Siphaxi, Excalibur, etc. These fights felt huge in scale and made you feel even more of a flying legend once they were over, and you also had to fight elite squadrons that boosted your reputation. Here you just stomp enemy soldiers really often... and these epic encounters are minimal. Don't get me wrong, it's good, it's just not Project Ace's top-tier game. Still, it's a great welcoming for the franchise into the newer generation of gaming and it's a great start for anybody that hasn't played them before.… Expand

    -Lack of in engine cutscenes was a disappointment for me

    I am so pleased to have brought AC7 on release.... I jumped straight into the VR mode which was short lived but fulfilling (1 and 1/2 hrs for me). The main campaign however, has the feeling of being diluted to become a large collection of average missions (with some great moments in there though). Despite its shortcomings, it's just so refreshing to see the genre in the spotlight once again. I remain hopeful there can be a patch to update the visuals for ps4 pro/xbone x to further improve the resolution and maybe implement HDR.

    Overall I feel the price is a bit high for the content on offer, and maybe in the future if Bandai namco games scaled bakc the scope of the game (to like 5 SOLID exceptional quality missions), AAA tightened the screws on the content polished the hell out of it and made it all VR compatible this could've been truly EXCEPTIONAL. Instead you get an average 20-30 missions throwback title with variable quality across each mission. Missed opportunity but very fun!    … Expand

    The idea with a timer is totally horrible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve only previously played AC 5 and Zero on the PS2.

    AC 7 makes a fresh start on current gen flight combat. In terms to flight controls and gameplay they didn’t change much from previous games which isn’t a bad thing because it was good to begin with. One thing that disappointed me was that they removed wingmen commands which they had previously on AC 5. The wingmen AI is horrendous and is a lot worse when you have no control over it. You end up having to do everything yourself. There was one mission where you had to escort a transport with a single wingman while taking out SAMs bombarding the transport in every fkn direction while also tracking back and taking out any bandits intercepting said transport. They put too much emphasis on you the player taking total control of the battle by shooting down 50 + enemies while the wingmen are there just for fodder which really ruins immersion and realism.

    Also another thing they removed was wingmen assignment. In AC 5, for missions that require elimination of Air and Ground targets you can assign your wingmen to different planes that have different roles (fighter/multi role/ground assault). In AC 7 it’s just you who can choose and end up having to use an A10 to have enough firepower to take out 100 + ground targets then have to contend to fighting Mig 29s and some OP boss with a modified SU 33 (my poor A10 got lucky on the 5th go of that mission).

    Typical AC series is the graphics and sound are all excellent. All planes have great detail and the payload is accurate apart from Railguns and lasers (wish they brought back the Napalm bomb for the F4s. The music nostalgic especially during the multiplayer where they brought some classics back and remixed a bit.

    The Campaign is a bit all over the place looking at both sides of the war. Wingmen didn't really gel and I didn't really care if they died compared to Nagase, Archer and Chopper (Team Razgriz!). It didn’t really engage me but I’m just playing this to shoot planes and blow **** up anyways.

    Multiplayer is pretty meh and time consuming as they’re player lobbies and no quick match options. All you get is Free for All and team Death Match which you’re only gonna use Air superiority planes like the F15 Eagles and F35s because you’ll get totally wrecked using Assault and Multi Role planes. They should have siege modes where one defends and the other have to destroy a target like the Ark bird or Stonehenge but this could be added in future.
    Overall, the game play is non stop action and excitement…and somewhat annoying as you’re a one man team against 100. Air plane fans will love it, I’ll give it a 6 but since they threw in my AC 5 in my preorder I’ll push it to a 7.    … Expand

    However, AC7 makes some of the same mistakes as AC6, and it's really disappointing in that way. Ace Combat 7 makes the mistake that more is better and shoves tons of enemies on every map. Just get used to the missile alert sound constantly ringing in the background, because Namco Bandai loaded the map with tons of missile-bearing enemies and concentrated them in small areas. This simply wasn't the case in Ace Combat 04, 5, and Zero, where you actually had some time to breathe. A missile alert in those games actually brought a sense of tension. Now, it's constant. Maybe the developers back then realized that constant missile threat doesn't enhance gameplay, or hardware/engine constraints limited the amount of targets on a map. Either way, it's a quality of the old games that has been lost in the new.

    This game doesn't evoke the thrill that AC:Zero's B7R levels do, or the tension that AC5's Arkbird missions have. Instead, you're annoyed. You're annoyed that your missile alarm is constantly going off. You're annoyed that your incompetent squadmembers don't do anything. You're annoyed that you can't take a second to appreciate the beautiful scenery the artists constructed or listen to the wonderful soundtrack by Ace Combat staple Keiki Kobayashi. I understand that in real dogfighting you can't take your focus away for even a second. But Ace Combat has never gone for absolute realism. Instead, it seeks to capture the wonder and thrill of flying without some of its real-world impediments. Fortunately, the PS4 version I got came with a copy of Ace Combat 5, which I will likely end up playing more than AC7.    … Expand

    This game is a bit of a disappointment. For the price of 65€, it is just a rip-off. The content is very small and you notice that the innovation is completely missing.

    The biggest problem is the multiplayer which doesn't have a dedicated server and is not played by anyone. In addition, I couldn't join a single lobby due to constant connection problems with the host.

The first is that the semi-famous "Ace Combat style" of storytelling falls completely flat here, making all the story segments and dialogue an annoyance at best and insufferable at worst. The second is that the PS4 just is not able to render coherent models and this is hampered further by a clunky user interface that offers only one option: on or off.

    The story uses the AC tradition of converging perspectives, but they are so badly written here that the overall plot becomes uninteresting early on. Luckily, all the cutscenes and briefing segments can be skipped. Unfortunately, the on-mission chatter, which sets a new low standard for the series, cannot be muted and must be heard in its entirety. It's so bad that the player feels like a hostage to cringe, and unless you're a natural ace pilot you'll hear many missions' worth several times.

    The lack of visual clarity in the game, at least in this version, is a serious detriment. Dogfighting is incredibly frustrating when you are simply not able to get a read on a plane's direction or bearing. Just as deflating is firing on ground targets only to realize there was actually a geographical feature that wasn't clear from the angle you approached. An equal offender here is the awful UI in general and heads-up display in particular, which feel lifted from a PS1 game for all their helpfulness and sense.

    Overall a bit disappointing although the package DOES manage to come together by the end, but the slog will likely scare all but the most committed, patient, and weeb-friendly pilots out there. Here's hoping AC8 is a serious step forward instead of a largely "safe" entry.    … Expand

    I was really looking forward to AC7 and when I saw it reduced to £11 on Amazon I got it immediately. However I'm left feeling a bit disappointed by the overall experience.

    The graphics in this game are almost irrelevant. You're flying so fast a lot of the time that all you're seeing is sky, sea and ground. Unfortunately the ground seems to fare the worst graphically. Buildings and units don't look too great up close, and the more restricted environments are a pain to traverse as you can easily smash into barely noticeable objects and lose a lot of progress. Enthusiasts of combat jets may get a thrill here, but most of the airplanes looked the same to me and enemies are usually too far away to be appreciated visually. The weather is impressive visually but comes with the caveat of frustrating the gameplay.

    The gameplay is the bread and butter of AC7. I actually haven't played any other games in the series, however my experience makes me reluctant to do so. What I really enjoyed was the dogfighting - when you get to face head-to-head with other fighters and blow them out of the sky the game is at it's zenith. The problem is this is far too often compounded by mundane and frustrating mission objectives and mechanics. Far too often I was failing missions due to not being aware of 'hidden' objectives such as protecting a unit, using stealth (who the hell wants to go slow in an F15?!) or by having time limits. Add to this the insane abilities of some enemies to manoeuvre their aircraft in unnatural ways (which of course you cannot do) and aspects such as vague mission objectives that don't help you decide what weapons you need to take with you into the mission (it's a game, not a flight sim, so there should be a variety of them at all times anyway), and you've got a very frustrating experience. A final thing worth mentioning is that in later missions you have to hover your crosshair over enemies to identify them before shooting, which REALLY became tedious for me.

    The story is barely coherent, silly and nonsensical, so don't come to this game for that, although I imagine most of us are here for dogfighting and not soap operas anyway. I stopped paying heed to it very quickly as it was just delaying gameplay and didn't have enough direct applications to the game itself.

    Overall, the game can be very enjoyable and despite my misgivings I kept coming back to it as the enjoyable elements were excellent. However had I known how difficult and unbalanced it was going to be I never would have played it in the first place. A challenge is one thing, but AC7 far too often takes control out of my hands and fails my missions for me. If you can tolerate the Dark Souls approach of many deaths and retries, this game is for you. Otherwise, get your flying kicks elsewhere.    … Expand

The story was interesting, and the theme felt gritty. Unlike previous entries, that game took place in our present time/world. The gameplay was excellent, and so was the story of the game.

    Unfortunately the writers of Skies Unknown are clearly six years old, as the story of Skies Unknown is incredibly juvenile, and is little more than an anime fetish. Soldiers think they are starring in Top Gun or something, and the narration is beyond dumb. The military strategies are unrealistic, and the briefing maps are so confusing that i was lossed as to what was going on. There are weather effects that don't enhance the experience, but rather annoy the player. Just because it's more realistic, doesn't mean it makes the game better. The cinematics in this game are very basic and pretty much pointless. It comes down to slides and some slow cutscenes with voice-overs. I wonder why the development of this game took so long when you consider that Assault Horizon had well produced cinematics, yet this game seems to do the bare minimum. On top of that some levels are cringe worthy, as unrealistic scenarios are forced upon you like flying up the inside of a space elevator... IN A FIGHTER JET? WHAT THE **** It is not an exercise in skill, but just a matter of seizure inducing roadblocks. The Tech tree in this game is underwhelming. There are only three types of aircraft: Fighters, Multirole and Assault (although also only barely as there are only 2 Assault Aircrafts). There are only a few dozen different ones, whereas Assault Horizon had astonishingly many, and even had Helicopters.

    Unlocking these happens through points, though the payout never seems to be enough to unlock a new aircraft at a steady pace. This becomes very annoying when you get a mission with ground- or naval targets, but can't unlock the aircraft with the proper missiles because you don't have nearly enough points yet. And then... You have to grind. Who thought that was a good idea? I guess Ace Combat: Infinity in 2013 was just a test to see if people where willing to do that.

    Dogfighting is no longer a minigame, but the new way with more freedom in this game feels pretty good too. The G-turns are quick, easy and helps switching between targets.

    Different types of aircraft mean nothing in Skies Unknown. Multirole aircrafts, which are supposed to do a combination a Dogfighting and air-to-ground attacks, usually don't even have dedicated air-to-ground missiles. In fact, it's usually better to use a fighter aircraft as these seem to be just a effective with better air-to-air weapons in reserve. Only later on in the tech tree, when you get the A-10 Thunderbird or the F35, you will have an aircraft that fights according to its type.

    I don't know what happened after Assault Horizon, but this game feels like 3 steps back in every department except for graphics. The story is dumb, the characters are dumb, the aircraft tree is lazy and barren, and all the good additions that were made in Assault Horizon are suddenly gone.

    It is entertaining, but it makes me roll my eyes just a bit too often. The final level is so dumb that it takes the quality of the game way down! It's a dumb game. I give it a 5/10    … Expand

    The almost nonsensical story and some poor mission design aside, you can have some fun with Ace Combat 7. It will take some patience to get through the sequences with poorly defined objectives, but you'll have fun with the action-packed aerial combat and enjoy testing your skills against other players in the multiplayer mode.
