What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
To put a long story short, using unguided weaponry scores you off more points than using the baseline guided missiles, so you're better off using a build containing, say, unguided missiles with the upgrade to make it easier to hit with, otherwise it's going to get REALLY hard to get that score in time.
This can be turned off for HARDER gameplay, and the window can be set HIGHER or to HIGHEST for easier gameplay if your reaction speed is low or little bro wants to play.
I gotta say it’s no Keiki Kobayashi, but honestly that dude is a legend for their work on Ace Combat from 4 onwards, but Fat Bard who composes the soundtrack for JL, does a respectable effort leaning towards high intensity bit tracks to keep our adrenaline pumping, without boring the pilots to tears.
-Clean, refined art style; flashy, but still easy to see what's going on
I even went into the options and activated some of the accessibility options, such as invincibility and longer time windows to successfully dodge attacks,
Cheats being offered at the main menu is a wonderful feature so players who don’t desire to engage with the control scheme and certain very intense missions may use, is fair game.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
