Ace Combat 8 review praises its thrilling campaign despite an uneven story

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is a new entry in the long-running flight-action series.

Its campaign follows a pilot drawn into an ongoing conflict.

The story reveals that the celebrated “Wings” is a made-up figure, created by a media guru to give people hope.

After the pilot’s predecessor is shot down, the player is asked to take on that identity.

The campaign turns missions into dramatic, high-pressure battles, with a style compared to a Hollywood action film.

That spectacle helps make the game exciting, although some missions disappoint and the story is uneven.

The review gives no details about what happens next beyond the campaign’s events.
