Why you can trust GamesRadar+
If an F-16 jet fighter blows up in the sky and there’s nothing remotely interesting about it, does it make a sound? That’s just one of the many questions you’ll be asking yourself while playing Heatseeker. Others include “Why do all these missions feel the same?” and “What would’ve happened if Goose had never died in Top Gun?"
Okay, so that last one isn’t really Heatseeker-related, but you’ll forgive us if our mind wanders towards slightly more interesting jet fighter entertainment. It’s just that every part of Heatseeker is so bland and uninspired. From the generic pre-mission briefings to the unrewarding post-mission stats screen, there’s nothing here that will grab your attention for very long.
