14. Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies
Platform(s): PlayStation 2
Year: 2001
In a scene dominated by ground warfare IPs, the Ace Combat series is a testament to how underrated air combat simulators are in the gaming industry. Shattered Skies reinvigorated the genre for a modern audience still stuck on the thought of a semi-realistic flight simulator being generic add-on software bundled with their Dell desktops. Namco’s title strapped you into the cockpit of 21 cutting-edge aircrafts and set off the engagement of epic aerial dogfights across the globe, with a riveting storyline that made for an exciting virtual flight. —IF
