It’s a bit weird – since childhood I had a fascination with planes. Yet, I’ve never went into much of a “fandom” with the aircraft and barely ever played flight simulation games. But one of the games I did play and enjoy as a teen was Ace Combat 2 that I got in a bundle with the used PS1 my parents got me. I found it quite challenging, but it was an exciting experience that attempted to bring the cinematic and almost arcade racing approach to the flight simulation. It had a cool soundtrack, as titles from Namco (before they were merged with Bandai) of that era used to have. Since Ace Combat 2, I think the only flight sim I’ve played was Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X (which was neat) and that’s it.
But I’ve heard very good things about Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown and after years of debating with myself about if it’s even worth it for me to try it out, I did. And while it remains “not my thing”, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
