Classic Ace Combat: tons of heart, melodrama, and action. I really loved the presentation of this game's story as a war documentary with interviews trying to follow the player character. The missions themselves were pretty basic, and the last boss frustrating, but I loved the story's commitment to a nuanced depiction of war, and what happens before and after. The mission design and visuals won't win any awards, but the heart and soul of the game will stay with me.
