Its good horror.
I enjoyed it quite alot.

Great story, normal fights are fun.
Camera can be quite ♥♥♥♥ at times.

Slow mo triggering after dogding feeds inconsistent.
There might be a reason why it triggers sometimes and other times not, but i cant seem to grasp it and i refuse to google it.

Mixed bag.
But it when on sale.

Its good.
Play it.
I will just let my hour count speak for it self.

Positives:
Exploring the world is fun and there is alot of interessing stuff to find.
Running back if you have lost your souls is a really cool mechanic.
Gives a reason to go back to the place you have died and pay attention there stuff is and not to run in to traps.
Also the markers on the ground make this a really cool expirence.

Negatives:
The boss gameplay suck.
They look cool but play like ♥♥♥♥.
Imo game would have probably been better without them or have them used for some story stuff thats not fighting them.
They are either way to easy, gimmicks, area denial/spam attacks or punish mistakes by basiclly oneshotting you.
Sometimes you even get combinations of those.
Game devolves to run to boss, either beat it basiclly first try or google weakness/gimmick after 10 tries.

On the part of retrying bosses:
I can stand retrying.
I've played more than enough OSU for that to not be a problem.
What i cant stand is, that the game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ demands of you that you waste atleast 30 seconds to run back to enter the boss area.
There is nothing interessing happening.
You run past a few enemies and thats it (Sometimes you even have to dodge one, because thats the peak of gameplay).
You learn or see nothing new.
Its a complete waste of everyones time.
Anyways enough about that.

Does the game give those infos on its own how to beat them easier?
Idk, i havent found any of it yet.

Is searching for that info part of the game?
Also idk and if it is, than i cant be bothered to do this part of the game.
The game doesnt value my time when it is about bosses so im not willing to spend anymore of mine on it.
I value my time higher than being forced to search for specific information in the most stupid way possible.

Td;Dr
Interessting world, but ♥♥♥♥ bosses.
Watch Lets play/Walkthrough or some lore videos.
Thats probably about as entertaining and wastes less of your time.

Maybe i change my mind when i finish the game but i dont think that will happen.

Dont even bother.
99% of the game is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ area denial and spawn trapping.
Might have been a inovative game in 2007, but since than it has aged like fine milk.

Also there is a lot of bots and cheaters.
Atleast every second game has at minimum one of either.

Its a great game.
If you are new to Ace Combat like i was, see the first play through more like a tutorial.
Use expert controlls and power through the game, in the and its well worth it.

P.S.
Buy parts for the aircraft and use them, makes the game alot better and more fun.
Really would have liked to about the fire extinguisher.
Would have made the first 90% of the game on my first play through much less "i want to throw my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ controller in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ television" like.

For everyone whos not yet convinced, just watch this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL2KFkNVzLg).
Not because its a review or i gain anything; just captures the mood very well and i just love Max0r. (I have watched that video 12 times. Please help me, i cant stop myself)

Fast and fun.

Really great game.
Alot of replayability.

Has some performance issues on really low spec pc.

Its alot of fun.

Best Bugfestival ever :D
I would recomend it for 3 or 4 euro but no for 15
