    There is a great game buried somewhere in The Falconeer, but it's trapped behind an open-world structure that does it no favors.

Before we start I need to say don't expect weird things people because this game is meant to be chill and calm and quit pleasurable and atmospheric. Don't go in and expect horde fights or great war horns etc.The Falconeer is an aerial combat game against a backdrop of acrylic-painted skies which allows you to take majestic screenshots and immerse yourself within..There's so little amount of games on the market that makes me as chill as this one, and I was so relaxed while I was playing it your surroundings the environment everything is just perfect .However, it's not an arcade game and it's definitely not action all of the time.
    That's because a huge part of the game is flying around an open map, running various missions for various settlements dotted around a mostly water covered area. The Falconeer’s emptiness makes it atmospheric and beautiful, leaving space for the shifting weather and looming landmarks to set the tone. But it’s also a weakness that keeps it from being good and not absolutely a stunning experience for Xbox One owners and even the lucky Xbox Series X gamers. In the end it just feels like too much time is spent journeying through empty space, and the sparse additional distractions beyond the missions just aren't quite enough to fill that void,

    Yet I just can't deny that it's one of the best games I played this year I'm glad they released it before the year ended it should be on Steam Awards .    … Full Review »

    The art style is gorgeous and the Graphics design is simple yet nice to look at.
    The music is addicting.
    Combat is simply incredible and fun to experience, or tho it feels like some sections I would like to go back and play over and over. Some not so much. But overall it's a super satisfying experience
    Well worth the $45au with plenty of replay potential.

    Can't believe this was made by one person? That is nothing short of astonishing    … Full Review »
