![]() Explosions rumble, birds cry everything fits nicely while not outstaying its welcome. That aside, what is on offer is well done. ![]() At no point did it come across that your cannons were packing any type of substantive punch. The weapons do not sound the best and there is no point in dancing around that. The music has the perfect balance of triumphant scale but the subtleness to let it slip back into the background all during the course of one battle. The character’s voice work is convincing and fits the mood of a semi-futuristic waterlogged world. The voice acting while not groundbreaking does a fantastic of capturing the atmosphere. The audio side of things has been handled just as well. Diving from the skies above into the lush seas below never gets old as you aimlessly wander when not on an active mission. Gliding through the skies feels effortless but exciting. The flight control itself is engaging, rewarding, and dare I say relaxing. While the vast majority of the game encompasses dogfighting and action, it would be a disservice to ignore the amount of escort/fetch quests. Little touches like charging your cannon via kinetic energy is not only well implemented but also adds a layer of depth not teased at by previous arcade flight games. The flight is expertly handled using the left thumbstick as you gracefully fly through the skies. ![]() To be fair The Falconeer doesn’t fall in line with the arcade dogfighting sim but what is here is well balanced and well designed. Early trailers certainly gave off OG Xbox gem Crimson Skies vibes. The smooth camera movements do a great job of framing the action and keeping you at the centre of the fun when you don’t opt to track your enemies.Ĭontrol-wise, The Falconeer is a joy to behold… or actually hold. The world geometry is solid albeit a bit lacking in variety, but everything on display does shape a fantasy world that is believable after a bit of exploration. The ever-changing weather conditions have a real impact as they outwardly affect the world you inhabit. The water effects which make up a large chunk o the title are also well done. The falcon you pilot and there will be a few, is gorgeously animated and while blocky at first glance, is animated with such grace and fluidity. The animation alone is worth the price of admission. No, The Falconeer is not going to win any graphics awards nor is it even close to showing what the new console can do. Visually, The Falconeer mixes a nice blend of low-poly models seen in something like Ashen with a pop of colour similar to Sea of Thieves. Does this indie have the heart to lift an otherwise DOA lineup for the giant green X? The Falconeer, soared its way onto the Xbox family of consoles to help bolster the meek launch lineup. Promises of new experiences, new IP’s and new visions of old classics flood a market that magically feels ready to take the next step in technology even though the previous is just now being pushed towards its limit (a story for another day). Not all of these games have release dates available, but all of them are currently set to appear on Xbox Series X at some point.Console launches are an exciting time.
