The Familiars

This is by far the best looking flying game out there. The gameplay is extremely similar to its predecessors.

Jump into the cockpit and shoot down opposition fighter jets before they destroy you. But where Ace Combat 7 comes into its own is the VR missions.

Stick on your headset and you’re actually sitting in the plane.

Graphics are amazing and it’s truly one of the greatest VR moments out there. For the best experience, splash out on a T Flight Hotas 4 controller.

Players can hold the flight stick and fire missiles as if in the plane itself. The dizzying aspects of its convincing virtual reality setup can leave you with motion sickness.

However, it’s a small price to pay for a unique experience that’s the closest you’ll likely ever get to flying a fighter jet.
