Alex Chalmers at GameCloud writes: “Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a game thats good enough for those who already enjoy flight sims, but its not likely to convert anyone who isnt already a fan. The central mechanics are hardly innovative, the checkpoint system is a satanic artifice conceived only to dismay and affront, and the story is a meandering, butchered mess. However, it does have enough merit outside of these issues to warrant consideration. Interesting mission design and cool boss fights can be enough to make a game a worthwhile purchase, just make sure youre actually convinced you could be Tom Cruise in Top Gun.”
