SeekerAce Combat 7: Skies Unknown
In Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, you play as Trigger, an ace pilot in the Osean military in the year 2019.

You’re stuck there with Avril, a crack mechanic who just happened to be flying a jet she built in restricted airspace when a war broke out between Osea and Erusia.

Ace Combat 7 is, sadly, a decent game that never quite hits the same highs as the planes contained within.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a great-looking arcade flight combat game, and zipping over high-quality terrain trying to establish missile locks and evade pursuers can be a lot of fun. But the experience often gets weighed down by its weird and convoluted but persistent story and poor communication of objectives. It’s enough to prove that there’s room for the series to make a comeback, though this game will be not the one to jumpstart it.
