![]() ![]() The missions do tend to stick to a specific formula, but the story of The Great Ursee. But all of that is the cherry on top of an engaging story, breathtaking visuals, and the pure joy that comes from riding on the back of a giant warbird. The Falconeer is a beautiful game that offers a necessary freedom and escape that is much needed right now. Hopefully future titles can take a lesson from this game in terms of how players can explore their open world, and what they can find. Overall, The Falconeer: Warrior Edition is a great experience. At times the missions can also feel repetitive, with a lot of the same gameplay mechanics being re-used. Not to say that the story missions aren’t fun, but the world can feel less “open” when you are forced to follow a certain progression. ![]() There’s plenty of islands to interact with and various missions to take on. The world might even be more enjoyable to explore without the necessary completion of the story missions. Some might have mercenary work for you, some might just offer to sell you useful items, and others might just try to shoot you out of the sky. As part of the various factions in Ursee, these communities will treat you differently. Despite each island being just that, a rock in a huge open ocean, they all manage to feel distinct from each other. It’s just a small addition, but it really makes the falcon feel more alive and highlights the joy and whimsy of flight, especially against the dark backdrop of this world and story.Ĭreating an engaging open world is a difficult task, but The Falconeer does it well. The result is a game that feels both easier and yet also. With no directional input from the rider, the falcon starts to glide back and forth on its own. The games also run better, even while outputting at 4K, which helps with the action-oriented combat. One of the best details of this game is what happens to your falcon if you leave the controls alone for a few moments. While The Falconeer was basically a flying game with falcons instead of planes, here you use your falcon as partner and a weapon. Everything from the sounds, the visuals, and even just the feel of the controls makes the experience of exploring enjoyable. Sometimes the seascape will be bathed in the reddish-orange light of a sunset, or you’ll suddenly be overtaken by the dark clouds of a thunderstorm. Flying is a totally different experience close to the water or high up in the clouds. The visual and audio experience of exploring the Ursee is quite enjoyable. A dark shadow hangs over everything, emphasizing what it takes to survive in this cruel and ruthless world. You are a falconeer, a mercenary, providing important services for various factions, for the right price. There are several factions, from the organized and powerful Northern Imperium to the chaotic and scattered pirates trying to take what they can. The Falconeer takes place in a fictional world called the Ursee. ![]()
