Yeah I know i’m like 6 years late to the party on this one, but this spring I picked up Ace Combat 7. It was on sale for like 7 bucks so I thought i’d give it a go, since I was kinda burnt out on Warthunder and Metalstorm. I spent the summer playing through the campaign and I can say it was pretty peak. The story telling, missions, boss fights and cinematics are just amazing and honestly nothing even comes close when in terms air combat games. I also thought the game mechanics themselves were done pretty well, that is to say it’s based loosely on reality but prioritized fun/gameplay. My main issue with the game is the controls are bad, especially for mouse and keyboard. There’s no option for cursor aim, and there are not many settings for how the mouse joystick behaves, not to mention the default settings just feel . . . bad. Another gripe for me is the camera, there is no way to zoom in or out, change your fov, change the distance from the plane etc. without literally loading in cheat engine and hacking the game. The camera isn’t a huge deal in the campaign but in multiplayer it’s really hard to track other players as they’re pulling 17 Gs at mach 3. That said I still really liked the game, and am looking forward to its sequel, hopefully they’ll add more support for keyboard players in Ace Combat 8. I’d love to see an Ace Combat game covering cold war aircraft from the 50s and early 60s, so hopefully that’s what we’ll get next.
