#Xbox the falconeer series#

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. I was unable to get invested in any part of the narrative or characters. None of the companions that come on missions with you was exciting or memorable at all either. A lot of this comes down to the fact you play as multiple clans and never have a lead character. Although I found the world of The Great Ursee to be interesting, beautiful and intriguing enough to want to explore, I couldn't get into the story at all. A narrator introduces the world at the start of each act, and then you're fed story between missions from a talking head on-screen. 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.
