Apr 9, 2019Falcon Age is a unique and charming game that is equally as impressive on the PS4 as it is on PSVR. The game features a cute falcon that you can share first bumps with in virtual reality but also features fun gameplay and a story with an important message.

May 14, 2019While some will tout Falcon Age as the next great VR game, it is much more than that. I recommend it even for those without a PSVR headset. It is charming, compelling, and most of all enjoyable. I loved my time in this world and I look forward to whatever the team at Outerloop does next. This is a showpiece for many reason, but let’s be fair, it is mostly for the falcon. Now I want one in real life.

May 13, 2019Falcon Age offers a rich and refreshing experience that focuses on a few key elements and nails them precisely. While the experience certainly feels more tailored to VR, it's still a wonderful journey on a normal TV screen. A wonderful world and egregious art style make for an engaging playthrough, despite some overly-simple combat mechanics.
-
Apr 17, 2019The highest compliment I can think to pay Falcon Age is that it evoked the same feeling I get caring for my real-life pets--including the real wince of bone-deep alarm I felt anytime my bird was at risk of injury. This is about much more than a cute animal. It's about a bond, and one Falcon Age nails.

Apr 9, 2019In the end, players will have made an adorable bird friend, but the bond with a forgotten culture is even more memorable.

Apr 9, 2019Falcon Age’s charming adventure made me care more for a virtual pet than I ever thought I could, and it shines in VR.

Apr 9, 2019Falcon Age is a genuinely impressive achievement in the VR space. The unprecedented amount of interactivity between you and the bird plays host to the build-up of a worthy friendship, as well as an essential partner once the going gets tough. Alongside a deep and meaningful narrative, this is yet another PlayStation VR experience that belongs among the elite.

Apr 19, 2019Outerloop Games can be really proud of its first video game: Falcon Age isn’t perfect, but it boasts a unique and undeniable charisma.
-
Apr 24, 2019Falcon Age is a good accomplishment for Outerloop Games: it’s a nice adventure that uses VR in a clever way, but some shortcomings prevent it from being a must-buy.
-
Apr 16, 2019Falcon Age is a fun and interesting exploration of what happens to people being exploited by a megacorporation and how they can fight back. With the added twist of the faithful Falcon companion, this single-player game often feels like it is a co-op regardless if you are playing in VR or not. It's well worth the time for anyone who wants an interesting story with a lovable feathery sidekick.

Apr 16, 2019Don't like paying 20 for something that feels it has the worth of 5 dollars. I like the premise but it feels very last generation.
-
Apr 14, 2019Emotional and beautiful game, not solved bugs and not perfect, but can catch on for many hours, especially in VR.
