I'm here just for the single player stories, so please ignore this review if you play MP.

Let's start with the good things first: there are some nice cinematics, decent maps, and some "unconventional" WW1 guns. Also, how almost every object (walls, towers, etc) can be destroyed, also made this franchise famous...

Now for why this review is a negative :
Controls are one of the most awful. The pilot controls for example: I've played a lot of Ace Combats, Wing Over, some Star Wars games, including flying some jets in GTA and The Crew, and they all mostly have quite similar flight control. I don't understand why the default pilot control in this game doesn't just follow the existing norm and create its own confusing flight system. Changing the controls schematic didn't help much. There's a scene where you have to fly the messenger pigeon, and I almost flew out of map numerous times until I got the grip of it. Ground vehicle controls are mostly okay though....

A huge part of the campaign requires some stealth instead of full-on combat, which I am okay with that. However, there are many things seems off with the stealth mechanics that I can't explain. Note that I've played and really enjoyed a fair share of other stealth actions: MGS series, Assassin's Creeds, Hitman, Sniper Elite and Sniper Ghost Warrior series, even including A Plague's Tale: Innocence. For start, I didn't realize that you can drop your binoculars instead of having them as your permanent inventory. I ended up tagging enemies with the iron sight instead. And even with the binocular, the tagging distance is limited. And if you get spotted, their stationary guns seems to always know your position.

IMO, this game tried to be an all-rounder game, but failed in every aspect.
You want a shooting game with nice cinematics? go for Call of Duty instead.
Tank game? World of tanks.
Plane battles? Ace combat.
Stealth action? MGS series.
Sniper game? Sniper Elite series.

IST GUT FÜR MULTIPLAYER
