The PlayStation 5 version currently holds an 88 average on Metacritic, putting the release in 20th place on the platform's annual rankings so far.Reviews have highlighted its blend of arcade action and cinematic presentation. The campaign has drawn praise for its variety of missions, soundtrack and strong story, which expands the Strangereal universe. Multiplayer has also been cited among the game's strengths.The reception has not been entirely unanimous, however. The lowest scores are close to 8/10, with one 7/10 review so far. Criticisms include issues with target selection, overly dramatic dialogue, pacing-harming decisions and some rough edges in execution. Even so, reviewers describe the experience as entertaining and broadly recommend the game.Developed by PROJECT ACES, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve puts players in the cockpit of an elite pilot, tasked with engaging in aerial combat, eliminating threats and completing missions across a range of settings. The game maintains its focus on intense jet battles and high-speed maneuvers.The lack of dedicated Xbox reviews is the only uncertainty noted in the early reception. The game will launch for Xbox Series X|S on October 1, with the standard edition priced at £64.99 or US$ 69.99 on the Xbox Store. The Deluxe Edition will be available earlier, on September 28.
