Ace Combat 8 becomes fastest-selling game in the series, and very nearly the highest rated

Ace Combat 8 has become the fastest-selling game in the aerial combat series, soaring to 1 million sales since its release roughly a week ago. Bandai Namco announced the news in a press release, highlighting that the eighth mainline Ace Combat game is also the second highest-rated one, with a Metacritic review aggregate of between 86-88 percent. Ace Combat 4 is the series leader with 89. Incidentally, Eurogamer hasn't reviewed Ace Combat yet but we have an appraisal in the works; apologies, it's been a busy season.
