FROM THE CLOUDS THEY DIVE, THE SCREAMS OF BATTLE IN THEIR LUNGS…
Generations of poisonous decisions and treason swirl in the deep, as factions collide.
Become the Falconeer and soar through the skies aboard a devastatingly powerful Warbird. Uncover secrets lost to the sea as you join or oppose different factions and clans scattered throughout The Great Ursee. Take advantage of multiple Falconeer classes with individual stats, weapons and warbirds that can be upgraded through winning battles, completing quests, discovering secrets, or applying Mutagens or Chants. Use ocean thermals and energy to dive, dodge, barrel-roll, and twist to gain an advantage.
The Falconeer is an open-world air combat game, featuring fast, brutal aerial dogfights and deep exploration of an incredible fantasy open-world set not only above the clouds, but also amongst the waves and down through the sunken, ocean depths.
EXPLORE AND FLY
The Great Ursee is an ancient place, filled with beautifully detailed locations to find and explore, not only above the clouds, but also below the waves. Discover sparks of order and civilization as well as wild and dangerous coasts filled with treasure, pirates, lost technology and amazing creatures.
FAST, BRUTAL DOGFIGHTING
Combat in the Falconeer is fast, brutal and devastating. The unique abilities of Warbirds allow for an unparalleled level of control and movability, creating epic fights with mounted enemies such as War Falcons, Weaver dragons, Mantarays and Razorbeetles.
FACTIONS
The rich and powerful yield fleets of airships and Falconeers to protect their assets, while revolution and dissent are brewing among the downtrodden and poor. Join and support your faction, flying missions that may change the fate of your comrades as well as yourself.
MULTIPLE EPIC STORYLINES

The combat of the game is pretty good but the VAST, LIFELESS world is painful to navigate and covered in mist that occasionally makes it hard to know if you are level, ascending, or descending. The quests are basically the same over and over again; you just fly in a different direction each time. The flight and combat are pretty enjoyable, but I cannot get through the slog of the rest of the game.
This is a slow-burn open world game less focused on the minutia and mechanics of it's combat than on creating a beautiful, haunting atmosphere for it's mysterious world.
It's gotten increasingly ambitious as development has progressed adding more side activities and quests. Wide, rather than deep is the tradeoff here, however.
I've finished the game twice coming back for a second playthough on hardcore difficulty after only three months which is an incredibly quick return for me. The game made such a strong impression it never quite left my thoughts.
I'm back for more right now due to the incredibly generous and continual content updates. This is an incredibly approachable and responsive developer that cares deeply about the game.
It's a true passion project with a singular vision and all that entails. It's not going to connect with everyone, definitely, but if it does connect with you it'll never let go
I purchased this game with the DLC's just necause i loved the idea behind it, without knowing what the game actually was.
Pros:
*The Idea is GREAT
*Really liked Art-style and atmosphere.
Cons:
*Controls are HORRIBLE, you are slow, your bird bounces off walls and objects, trying to control the camera will make you go mad. Worst is you cant separte the keys for speeding up and doind the barrel roll, in time trials you will see how funny it is when your bird does a barrel roll when trying to just speed up and going left or right.
*Completly unnecesary leveling system: Why? just...why?
*Completly unnecesary open world: World it's too big, again...WHY?, most of the time you will be making fast travels, yeah, hear this, it is boring to fly...IN A FLYING GAME!
*No moves besides the Barrel Roll, in a BIRD flying game, i would love if it war more dynamic. Like, a charge forward at full speed, melee atacks, doing a roll vertically. This makes for boring combat, there is no strategy, you get killed extremely fast, it's slow and you have no options.
*Missions are BORING: There is no variation, Go there, kill, come back. Or just, go there, come back. Or, go there, get inside the town, come back. ANd i feel the open world is what makes missions so boring, Dev needs to play Ace combat, it is a Flying game but missions are SO DIVERSE, it never gets boring, you do so much stuff, even if it is a linear story.
*Small variation of weapons, and they are extremely boring to use.
I tried, REALLY TRIED, to love this game, went to do sidequest to unlock birds, upgraded weapons and did everything i could.
But dindt managed to push myself trough act 1, left it at the missión where yu hunt the pirate lord and fight that kinda boss.
i really hope for Falconeer 2 if it someday releases, to be a complete improvement over this first game.
I am really enjoying this game. The combat is fun, the exploring is worth it. The performance is great, no issues at all. I'm not much for words, so I will say this, the Overall Most Helpful review by 8bitsChris is spot on, and he says it best.
Also this review where the guy needed more space, I suggest reading this

Sorry, but I am terrible at writing reviews, so I would rather point to reviews that I feel say it best.
Happy flying.
Just the idea of flying a giant falcon in the middle of nowhere is great enough ! Played with a mouse, 13h main storyline. Super easy to control, you get used to it after a few seconds - just watch your turning sensitivity. Great storyline thru the wast of the ocean, with historic relics, cliff carved cities and various enemies. Interesting and pretty game for an advanturer.
Only two minuses: 1 - it's a shame the DLC isn't included in the original, I feel like the DLC is a bit too pricy for what you get - probably worth to get on discount; 2: at the beginning doesn't seem like it, but the game is pretty much war-based - if there were a few more nicer missions, it would raise the overall 'wow' from the game
