I saw that ACE COMBAT is coming back with a new title, is it worth checking out 7 or waiting for 8 to come back as someone who hasn't ever touched a Ace combat game ever?

I've always been kinda interested in Ace combat, but I never got the chance to play it as a kid, I have a PS5. Sadly I don't have the money for a VR headset right now, nor do I know if I even have the space to keep it away from my cat's curiosity, as she gets curious on stuff and tries to pat at things sometimes
