If you told me before I played Ace Combat that I'd get this invested into a flight combat series, I would've said you're off your rockers. Nearly a decade later, and I'm obsessed. AC5 is the absolute cream of the crop. I love the way the story is told and paced, I love the set-pieces of the game, many of the plot's hardest hitting moments still live fresh in my mind, and the ending is beyond compare. I don't think I've ever felt so badass playing anything else. This is real special, don't miss out, and don't dismiss it due to preconceived notions like I did.
