With all the hubbub currently surrounding this game, it makes me wish there was a 'maybe' recommendation button on Steam.

Okay, so... I love this game. I love how it handles, how it runs in VR, the story, the plane selection, the modifiers, Conquest mode, everything. It's Ace Combat if you gave it a generous coat of orange paint and G-lock.

It kills me to hear that Frontline-59 is PS5 exclusive. Corporate meddling in an indie game is, quite frankly, absolutely ridiculous. PC and Xbox players have effectively been shafted as a result, and most of the backers were PC players. If taking the deal was for the sake of securing funding for more content down the line, then I get it. It doesn't mean I'll be happy about it.

If you have no issue waiting for the embargo on the PS5 content to be lifted, or if it remains in perpetuity and never comes to PC/Xbox, then by all means, play this game. We're going to get custom mission support in the future anyway, as confirmed by the developer in a very recent blog post, and that's a big win for user-generated content.

If you do have an issue and would rather be able to enjoy the entirety of this game, DLC included, do not buy it on this platform.
