![]() You'll be spending most of your splinters (money) on Mutagents which you apply to your Falcon for either constant or short term effects. They'll chase you with a passion and seemingly never need to recharge their batteries or ammo supply while you're often left with several crafts on your ass and finding yourself diving for the water.Ä«etween missions, you can shop at your clans' islands or other locations around the world. Enemy aircraft don't seem to have the same issues as you either. Pair the energy bar with tight controls, a lack of weapon variety and the need to keep an eye on your ammo supply, and you can quickly be in a sticky position. Quickly things cane become painful as you can run out of ammo the only way to recharge is to fly into a storm. Like classic dogfighters, you can only shoot directly forward, and you need to allow for the distance to your target when lining up your shot. You have one gun - although you can upgrade it to either a faster or harder-hitting model further in the game - and it's a pain to aim. From nimble rival Falconeers to airships, battle-ships and even flying manta-rays. You'll battle several different types of air and sea crafts across each of The Falconeers campaigns.

Across several different campaigns, you'll play as an unnamed pilot and do jobs for the specific clan that the campaign focuses on. It's a world that looks like it could have been Earth, but only following a mass flooding (possible, by the way). Each clan lives on small island masses as the world of The Great Ursee is mostly made up of water. Different factions in 'The Great Ursee' strike deals or war with another. Somewhere between Game of Thrones and Waterworld is the plot for The Falconeer. At times The Falconeer is a beautiful and well-oiled machine that runs at both 4K/60 or 120fps, but repetitive gameplay and a terrifyingly boring narrative weight the wings of this Falcon down. Amidst the more significant launch titles for the Xbox Series X|S lies The Falconeer from solo developer Tomas Sala. You take the pilot seat atop a Falcon in this aerial dogfighter above massive vasts of blue oceans and fierce electrical storms.
