    Falcon 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.

    While 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.

    Falcon 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.

    The 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.

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

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

    Falcon 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.

    Outerloop Games can be really proud of its first video game: Falcon Age isn’t perfect, but it boasts a unique and undeniable charisma.

    Falcon 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.

    Falcon 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.

    Falcon Age squanders its compelling narrative foundations with reductive gameplay and a dumb cute bird.

    Don'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.

    Emotional and beautiful game, not solved bugs and not perfect, but can catch on for many hours, especially in VR.

    Tested with PSVR. Poor controls scheme forcing you to move and fight with the right PlayStation Move, it confuses the combats, empty giganticTested with PSVR. Poor controls scheme forcing you to move and fight with the right PlayStation Move, it confuses the combats, empty gigantic areas and half of the playtime doing backtracking... all these flaws ruin the adventure. The trailer of the game seems lying too, as the bird doesn't stay on your hand while you walk, so I was unable to befriend with him, he was all the time flying and I didn't see it for almost the entire game.

    Except that, the game has beautiful visuals and sound design. But it's not enough...
