Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

Ace Combat 7 is an excellent return to what the series is known and loved for. The campaign, while lacking the branches of previous games, is a great story, and manages to deliver that anime cheese factor while still being poignant. The game looks absolutely amazing, and if you’re a fan of airplanes, you’ll enjoy seeing how lovingly rendered they are for this game.

Without spoiling anything major, perhaps the finale of the campaign might serve as the stepping stone for the franchise’s future. Who knows, we could eventually see “Space Combat: Galaxy Unknown” in the future. For now, though, if combat flight games are your fancy, then Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, with its frantic dogfights and brilliant encounters will let you rule the skies. It launches for consoles today but will arrive on PCs via Steam on February 1.
