This game was a joy to play, even for someone such as myself who has very limited experience with flying games. I personally chose to play on controller, but I experimented with mouse and keyboard and that worked OK as well. The feel of the game is perfect: A blend of arcade and simulation flight that doesn't feel sluggish like a simulation flight game, but not too wild that there is no sense of realism. The plot of the story mode is borderline nonsensical, but it has a few entertaining beats, especially the final mission. Visually, the game is gorgeous, I initially was skeptical when I saw that the game was in Unreal Engine 4, but Bandai's art team has come in clutch big time, because the environments range from cityscapes to mountain ranges, all beautifully detailed and realized. Sometimes when the sun catches on the water or a plane the right way, a screencap from the game would look better than real life. I am VERY excited to see what Bandai can do with UE5. Combat is great, my one big complaint is that as far as I can remember, the game never even tells you that your plane has a machine gun, and that part of air-to-air combat feels like an afterthought. However, trading missiles feels fast and exciting. This game frequently goes on sale for ~10 dollars, and at that price, I don't think there's a single person I wouldn't recommend this game to. I intend on playing it again soon.
