Is Ace Combat - Assault Horizon still worth playing in 2026?
An entry in Namco's aerial saga, Ace Combat Assault Horizon brings air combat closer to a cinematic spectacle with its Dogfight Mode that glues the player to the enemy's tail for explosive close range duels. The sense of speed, the snappy staging and the variety of aircraft win over fans of aerial action. The more directed orientation and the partial abandonment of the classic formula divide fans. A title for fans of spectacular aerial combat and the curious about a more arcade approach to the series.
