You’re a young privateer being put through their paces to join the elite Falconeer force protecting the Empress. You start by picking from a lineup of generic faces and names that you assume will be your character for the rest of the game – and completing a quick prologue. The story of the Falconeer is split into four chapters (and a prologue and epilogue) representing four different factions (or Houses) of the Ursee, a planet-spanning ocean as far as the eye can see, as far as you can travel in any direction. So I will try to keep to Warbird, but if eagle sneaks in every now and then, don’t worry, they look like eagles, and they aren’t necessarily falcons. Quick Disclaimer: Now I know what you’re thinking, Eagle? Hawk? Surely it’s just falcons, right? Well, Falconry in the real world can be done with any raptor bird of prey, be that Eagle, Falcon or Hawk, and in the game the bird species is never really named. But is it fully-fledged, or is it a fledgling nosedive? The world is ocean from one side of the nautical map to the other, dotted with islands run by warring factions, all vying for control of resources and political sway on the Ursee.
THE FALCONEER XBOX ONE REVIEW FULL
The Falconeer is an open-sea aerial combat game where you fly your very own Warbird on missions for your House Island, be that simple errands, scouting forays, or full on warfare. And another thing, setting it all on Waterworld! Well, I can tell you one thing is cooler, and that’s strapping armaments to that same massive hawk and going into battle, that’s what. What could be cooler than taking to the skies piloting your own massive eagle? It’s been the dream of a fair few kids including myself, ever since Disney’s The Rescuers Down Under had little Cody flying high on Marahute. That's why this is fine if you're looking for a relaxing flight, but if you're looking to mix things up, sorry, but The Falconeer is kind of for the birds.The Falconeer lets you ride on the back of your very own Warbird as you go to war in an openworld air-combat game. Warbirds never use their claws or beak to scratch or peck each other, and the bad guys sometimes just give up and fly away. Though even when you do finally arrive at a fight, you never feel like you or your bird is in any real danger. Not only is your bird easily distracted, and will often veer off course, but unlike most aerial combat games, this one has a static navigation map, and can't be changed to reflect your new objectives when you turn. That's also assuming you went the right way. They're often preceded by long stretches of flying. While there's fun to be had when you're going mano-a-mano - or should that be birdo-a-birdo - those moments are not a frequent or as frantic as they could've been. It's still pretty nimble, even if you do need to juice it up by picking up speed to do barrel rolls. You can even pick up mines and drop them on targets, though this requires a subtlety that your bird doesn't always have. Flying around an open world - which is largely water but with a small smattering of islands - you engage in mid-fight fights, shooting at other giant birds and aircraft. In The Falconeer, you pilot a giant bird into battle against other warbirds, as well as ground-based targets, all in the hopes of restoring the Empire to its former glory. While aerial combat games can provide seat-of-your-pants action when done well, this one isn't nearly so exciting.
