    The game was fun, entertaining and stunningly gorgeous. The 120 frames per second mad shooting and made aiming with great ease easy. The world itself was beautiful and made me want to replay every mission just to see the gorgeous world and graphics.

    Para um jogo indie este é ótimo, bom mundo aberto, gráficos e mecânica. Opção de 120 fps.

    Really a great game. The story structure is ... unusual. But I really appreciate the attempt that they have made to do something different, see a story from multiple angles. I think if the developer continued to develop the game – and I hope sales are good enough that they can be – in a year or two this game will be incredible.

    Jeu très intéressant. Il est reposant grâce à ses musiques, les combats sont sympas. Les paysages très jolis.

    Just want to say that people are definitely review bombing this game. My review is coming from a PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch owner. So I’m unbiased.

    Anyways I went into this game not expecting much because it’s made by 1 person and it’s $30. I was surprised to find the gameplay to be fun but could use a few tweaks.

    Anyways I went into this game not expecting much because it’s made by 1 person and it’s $30. I was surprised to find the gameplay to be fun but could use a few tweaks. Story is alright but not the best. I see lots of potential with this game however. I like the concept and idea of big birds fighting one another in fighter jet like combat. Overall buy if you are a fan of games that are flight combat. If you are unsure $30 is pretty good for this game. I’d wait if you are not totally convinced however. Maybe a sale that makes it $20-$25 is a good price.    … Expand

    Gorgeous and satisfying, it makes for a great addition to the "ride a giant animal" genre. Good for Panzer Dragoon fans

    I grew up loving airplane shooters like Life Force.and Star Fox later. The game was made by one guy, although it doesn't grant a curve, he deserves some props. The game is great for what our is dogfighting on a falcon at next gen framerates. The art style is beautiful, and I think he could make make a 10/10 with a crew and time.

    Un jeu vraiment agréable et avec une DA que j'apprécie vraiment.
    !on retrouve, pour les nostalgique, un petit coté Panzer dragoon. Le gameplay et bien travailler et cette sensation de voler est vraiment bien rendu.
    L'histoire est vraiment bonne et offre un peu d'originalité.

    The Falconeer tries to fly so high from very early, but as the hours go by, its structure ends up holding back any hint of excellence and it is reduced to simplicity, which is a shame considering how interesting its planning is. The control is precise, the narrative context is rich and absorbing, but flying is not as satisfying as it could be, clouded by a mission design with repetitive and insistent patterns. The magic is short-lived, despite being a brief and enjoyable experience on the artistic level.

    The Falconeer has some smaller issues, but those are easily overlooked when you take into account this was made by one person. The story is pretty interesting even though the missions aren’t, and the voice acting can be a little annoying at times. But exploring The Great Ursee for new locations, dogfighting with challenging opponents and discovering that thin line of balance between offense and defense is all very rewarding. I was expecting the game to be beautiful, but I wasn’t expecting the combat to be so challenging and deep. It was a wonderful surprise.

    With all of the good, there ends up being just as much bad. It’s easy and hard to like this game. Having a mission that hinders your ability to progress the story because it’s entirely luck-based is also a real shame. If given a few tweaks, it could have really shined as an outstanding flight combat entry. The heaviness of the bad mechanics is too much to allow it to soar high.
