Ace Combat 7 sells the power behind the "Trigger" callsign like a crack dealer in a busy New York alleyway. The way it builds up the legend of your character right in front of your eyes is commendable, upselling that by building up villains that only escalate in magnitude.

The mission structure is fantastic with each level heightening the stakes and spectacle, All of which is also scored to perfection enhancing the masterfully constructed set pieces even more.

The only stumbles AC7 has are with its convoluted storyline. This doesn't really break the experience since the gameplay and level structure really keeps the story moving at all times and never really lets the convolution take hold of the plot.

The gameplay feels very responsive while providing the difference in weight and variation of feel between different planes that I find is usually missing in pseudo-arcade-simulation flight games.

“Stick With Trigger And You'll Make It.”
