I would have honestly preferred that the game took the visual novel approach and simply had static sprites on the screen to represent the characters talking and not an animated character. The rough vocal performances, which Twitch chat was quick to pick up on when I streamed the game, are highlighted even more due to the fact that the game doesn’t have convincing lip-syncing. My only negative about the game’s narrative is the voice acting, which is a shame considering the fact that a new voice-over was recorded for this rerelease of the game. The story up to where I have played contains nothing too powerful, however, it always remains engaging.
There is a lot of lore and backstory in The Falconeer and as you play you will start to get more and more of it revealed to you.
You, as a Falconeer, are the timber being used to fuel that feud and hold the line against opposing factions. Perhaps it was just because I expected no real story, but when I booted up the game I was surprised at what depth the game was conceived. The expansive ocean, dotted with islands, is the base for a somewhat politically complex feud between factions. The Falconeer thrusts you into a dark setting with beautiful, if somewhat simple, graphics that immerse you in a world where people ride giant Warbirds into battle. That being said, I was excited to see what The Falconeer had to offer and to my surprise, it was a deep narrative experience with smooth gameplay. I was cautious to play the game and managed my expectations despite hearing about the many accolades the game had accrued in the last year as an Xbox exclusive, including a BAFTA nomination, because flight games and flight missions in games have always been a weak point for me.
THE FALCONEER WARRIOR EDITION SERIES
Having not played the game previously on the Xbox Series X|S this was my first time diving into this action-heavy aerial combat game. Over the past few days, I have had the pleasure of playing The Falconeer on the PlayStation 5.
