Project Wingman is a game that strives to be like the Ace Combat series, which it succeeds at pretty well. I feel like it tonally misses the mark sometimes, and the characters aren't always as charming as I'd like, but the gameplay itself is very well done. If you like Ace Combat, this game is worth a playthrough, just keep your mind a little open. I'd also avoid the highest difficulty, it can be pretty obnoxious.

A word of advice, this game has infinite flares which you use on a cooldown to dodge missiles. I personally do not enjoy this as much as simply dodging them outright, but higher tier planes such as the Eagle have an alternative module known as AoA. I highly recommend playing with this instead, as it makes your plane incredibly responsive when in use, allowing you to manually dodge the hellstorm of missiles which are often sent flying your way. If you get it right, and your taste is similar to mine, this takes the game from a 3 to a 4.5. Its so satisfying.
