The graphics look very nice and detailed especially when the fighting gets furious in later missions with explosions everywhere.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For me, although I am experienced with modern combat flight sims, the Deck is not really suited to these, however this game was developed for consoles, and with a little tweaking of the controls (use Gyro for view) this game is great.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Amazing attention to detail, custom options to set difficulty from arcade to ultra realistic, fun online game modes and fantastic co-op gameplay IF you buy the Wings of Luftwaffe Add-on.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

It is a nice arcade World War 2 dogflight sim, easy to learn, it is not unforgiving nor realistic as IL2, but the combats are fun, the graphics are awesome and it do a good job on recreate the places and atmosphere.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The single player campaign is satisfying enough with lots of interesting planes to fly around.
