The WhatsNext verdict
If you enjoy immersive sims built around improvised stealth, environmental tricks, and comic-book noir, Fallen Aces delivers a playful, creative FPS sandbox. Approach it as an episodic Early Access game, especially if rougher melee or an incomplete campaign would frustrate you.
What it does best
A noir comic-book world with an unmistakable visual voice
Levels invite wonderfully improvised solutions
Brutal slapstick combat makes every brawl memorable
A rare, confident fusion of immersive sim and old-school shooter
What might put you off
The early-access first episode is short and incomplete
Melee combat can feel rough or repetitive
The setup
What you are walking into
The A.C.E.S. Watchful guardians of Switchblade City. Being taken down, one by one. Now it's up to one man, with two fists, to get to the bottom of it all. Fallen Aces is a crime noir FPS that plays right out of the '90s and looks right out of the comics.
