Jumped straight onto Ace Combat 5 after finishing 4 and while the gameplay and controls felt a little bit better, I thought the story dragged on for way too long. I still liked its themes and you definitely feel like you have a closer bond with your teammates compared to the previous entry, but it almost turned it a bit campy and unserious considering what the story is about.
Not gonna lie, the goofiness of the banter despite the sheer horrors happening, all that talk about "demons", the cult-like behavior of the Belkans........ I thought the game was going to pull a Drakengard on me by the end of it and having me fight actual otherworldly demons like some sort of reverse scenario of Ending E, which would have been both funny and incredibly ballsy to pull off but would have made the journey entirely worth it for me. Saddly it wasn't and while it's still a good game with good themes, I don't think it will stick with me like Shattered Skies did.

Absolutely incredible game. I've heard about Ace Combat for a long time and mistakenly assumed it was just a generic war game about fighter jets. Every single thing about this blew me away. The story, the presentation, the commentary about the horrors of war, about human relationships, about forgiveness and moving on with your life.
I loved every single second of this game and it never slowed down for a single second. It was short and sweet, and the last mission made such an impact on me that I came out of it a changed woman.
They don't make em like this anymore........

They turned Fatal Frame into Resident Evil 4 and somehow made it even better. Using the gamepad as the camera itself was not only a cool gimmick but actually made the gameplay incredibly fun. Precision aiming is made effortlessly thanks to the gyroscope, and rotating the the frame around so you can optimize your combo and damage is one of the most satisfying feeling I've ever had while playing a video game. I highly recommend playing this on the Wii U.
