All in all, I found the game very artistically impressive.įrom a gameplay perspective, the dogfight mechanics are very simplistic. Even if it is a bit absurd that there’s massive seafaring robots being created while we’re relegated to flying on birds, they don’t look out of place. Your falcon, as well as the enemies you’re fighting against, fit very well into their surroundings. The detail goes beyond the scenery that you’re flying through though. Even in the midst of some of the more intense dogfights, I continually found myself getting giddy about how fantastical some of the views were. Like the look of the Imperial capital, but think it’s a little too gray? Just fly around for a while until a thunderstorm pops up and lights it up. This game can be finished pretty quickly, which I’ll get to, but I found myself flying around pointlessly for several hours just so that I could look at all the scenery and utilize the games photo mode to snap some new desktop backgrounds. There are a few different things we need to discuss though, so let’s take after our falcon and dive into what I think. You eat fish to regain health, fly in circles without ever worrying about fuel, and dive into the Ursee to retrieve packages and treasures. This nice little change up does add some uniqueness to the gameplay. That’s right, as the title suggests this open-world dogfighter won’t put you in a plane, but rather on the back of a true bird of prey as you mercilessly track and takedown enemies. Within this vast ocean there are several different factions that you can work to gain their favor, and some different rewards that come with that, from access to different trading vendors to new falcons you can buy. The Falconeer throws players into an interesting world where the Great Ursee, a vast never-ending body of water, restricts the inhabitants to small cities and outposts built on rocky outcroppings throughout. Expanding on that thrill of flying with some nice dogfights and gorgeous artistry was my latest play, The Falconeer. Flight in video games can also be very entertaining, as exemplified by the countless GTA V plane clips I’ve watched since being locked down. I’m not a huge Frank Sinatra fan by any means, or Billy May fan, who I just found out originally wrote that song, but the point stands. Come fly with me, lets fly, lets fly away.
