From GameWatcher: "If there’s one genre that’s noticeably fallen by the wayside in recent years, it’s the arcade flight sim. Once a staple on both consoles and the PC, most notably represented by the venerable Ace Combat series and Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X, it seems like the industry suddenly decided there was no longer an audience for fast-paced, action-focused combat games in which you don’t have to memorise forty-two separate cockpit controls before taking to the skies. Small Portuguese team TimeSymmetry hopes to prove them wrong with Vector Thrust, an ambitious homage to this faded genre that has just engaged thrusters and roared out of Early Access. So how does it hold up?"
COG writes - Here we are with the second instalment of our newest monthly feature where we give you the three best and three worst games of the previous month. If you're curious what to pick up and what to avoid then look no further.
Someone needs to either remake Rampage, or just make a new monster game. All I wanna do is destroy some cities and fight some mega-monsters!
Platinumed Rocket League, it's incredible.
Good list, with God of War 3 Re, Journey, and N++ as well as the 3 best games from the list july has been pretty packed on PS4 considering all 6 games i mentioned are PS4/console exclusives.
The rampant (awesome exclusives on PS4) pace doesn't let up in August with GALAK-Z aug 4th, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture aug 11th, Volume aug 18th, & Until Dawn aug 25th. There are other gems sprinkled in throughout the month like Ascendant aug 25th, One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 aug 25th, Gauntlet: Slayer Edition aug 11th, & Bedlam.
Hooray games!
I really need to play The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Does anyone know about how long it is?
Not terribly long. Took me around 8hrs and I'm meticulous about hitting every nook and cranny at least twice! Haha.
Totally worth the price of admission though. The game is amazing.

That first quote....ouch. Seems this genre needs a developer to cone and kick some serious ass and make a good game in this genre.
It's too bad, I had a lot of fun years ago with games like Ace Combat and Crimson Skies. This genre could be great but it seems like everyone's turning to futuristic space combat these days instead.
It's been a long time since I've even been interested in this genre and it's looking like it'll be a while longer yet
Sad thing is, flight simulator games are wanted quite a bit. I remember being asked about their availability almost everyday when I worked at Gamestop. Saddens me to see this one doing not so well...
Justin Celani gives us his thoughts on the new air combat game, Vector Thrust.
