![]() ![]() A few of the many times this happened, I simply just shut off my Xbox and played something else before taking to the skies again later on. It’s a real kick to the nuts to spend nearly 10 minutes flying around, escorting a slow-moving ship, only to die or fail during the last encounter and having to start it all over. If you fail the mission, you must start over, which is a real bummer because, like I mentioned before, the islands are far apart and a good chunk of each mission is flying from location to location. Unfortunately, I found the upgrades to be way too expensive and I barely upgraded my birds because of it. Complete the mission and you earn some favor with that faction and some currency to spend on upgrades. In either case, air pirates will always attack, and it’s up to you and your wingmen to protect the objective. Usually, the mission consists of taking some supplies to an ally, or protecting some sort of ship containing precious cargo as it slowly meanders to an island. There are no cutscenes, and you are given mission directions from the faction leader as they walk you through the objectives. You progress through the story by accepting missions while your Warbird is perched at the faction base. But sometimes after an intense battle, it’s nice to be able to peacefully fly to the final location objective to finish the mission. ![]() Luckily, there is usually a “skip to location” or fast travel option when completing missions, or just exploring the open world. With such a great distance between locations, it tends to make traversal a tad boring after you have made the trek a few times. Rolling waves, beautiful glowing orange sunrises and sunsets, and swirling blue and green skies at night that look a lot like the Aurora Borealis. The different islands of The Great Ursee are spread out pretty far, giving you plenty of time to take in the beauty of the world. Each chapter of the story is told from the perspective of the faction you have pledged and each of these warring factions have a different class of Warbird and pilot to use. The story of The Falconeer tells of a conflict between factions of The Great Ursee, which is a vast ocean that connects many different islands and locations to explore. There are a lot of secrets to uncover in the world of The Great Ursee, so let's dive in and see what it’s all about. During its 10+ hour campaign you will jump on the back of a huge falcon and engage in dogfights with other falcons, warships from the ocean surface and huge airships that block out the moon at night. It’s remarkable that a game this pretty and enjoyable was made with one person at the helm. The Falconeer is an open world air combat game made by the developer Tomas Sala. ![]()
