I have tried and tried to like this game but I just can't. In the end, this game is just a total, utter waste of money. This game tops my list of the most worthless games I’ve ever played, as well as the worst (in terms of cost versus playability) that I’ve ever purchased.
Pros
1. Graphics of the story line are good.
Cons
1. The game is totally unrealistic. I get that it's not supposed to be a flight simulator, but should it really take 20 hits with missiles to destroy one single, normal plane?
2. Your "wingmen" do absolutely nothing. They don't kill enemies, you can't tell them who to attack; they do nothing. All they do is talk and get on your nerves.
3. The developer's idea of "let's make this game challenging" is just annoying. On just about every level, they force you through some kind of ridiculous weather which IMO just ruins the game. And on the remaining levels, they just find some ridiculous excuse to take away your radar. I purchased this game because I wanted to fly around and kill enemies; not fly around looking at a gray screen getting shot at by an enemy I have no radar to identify, in 2021... If you want to make a marginally realistic flying game without radar, make it in the WWI era, before radar existed.
4. Zero multiplayer, zero. There is no online play to this game. Once you’re done with the campaign, you’re done. Want to get all those extra expensive multiplayer unlockables? Why? You can’t play the game on multiplayer anyway. Want to get them still? Awesome. I hope you enjoy playing the same few levels OVER AND OVER again.
5. No cross-platform support. I'd imagine that if CPS was supported then you'd be able to find a multiplayer game, but it's not, so you can't. Again, once you play through the campaign, you're done.
6. Per bullets 4 and 5, this game has NO replay value. NONE. Once you beat the campaign (15-20 hours) that’s it.
Bottom Line - Don’t buy it. Don’t waste your money on a 20-hour game. I can think of literally tens of thousands of things that are a better use of the money. This is the worst game I’ve ever played.
