Among the games that feel like it, ACE COMBAT™ 7: SKIES UNKNOWN ($59.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad ($49.99, scores 56).
The press gave it 75; the people who bought it give it 94 percent. A 19-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 11 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2023 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 890 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 1,489 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Project Wingman is a beautiful loveletter to Ace Combat, and admittedly embarasses Bandai Namco and Project Aces for making a real PC game, rather than a lazy PC port.
If you Enjoy Ace Combat you will love this game. Good story, graphics, and gameplay loop keep the game fun
This is my first game of this genre and I'm absolutely hooked, highly atmospheric and extremely fun. Cant wait to try vr mode and experience levels of motion sickness ive only yet dreamed about
