Honestly, it's nice. Granted, the story is up there with AC6 in it's sappiness and outlandish "gotta save our way of life, in this case our air force", BUT, it's good. It's a very well designed game, especially for one being ported over to the PC that wasn't the disaster that was Assault Horizon. The graphics are top notch, the aircraft selection is top notch, the flight dynamics are the standard ace combat pulling incredible G's that while Trigger can take it, your co-pilot passes out and now you have to do everything until he wakes up. And let's not forget the fan service, something only the Ace Combat series can pull and get praised for instead of "ugh, appealing to the die hards." And I'm sure this is supposed to be reviewed on the DLC page itself, but I'll put a small note for it.

The DLC was fantastic. I got it for free pre-purchasing it, and it fit right into the AC world.
