You know, the photo mode that many games have these days. Atmospheric gameplay makes it worth it: Spoiler, we have the gameplay downstairs at what we disliked but you have a group of people who play games for making fantastic looking images.Eventually, you become familiar with everything but a bit more hand-holding in the beginning would have been welcome. Landing and finishing your mission is another confusing element that takes some tries in the beginning. There are a few of them, one that tells you the story, one for side-missions, one to buy items, and one for selecting a mission. You start by leaving a town but before you have to select the mission by selecting the right menu tab. I was always starting free-roam and no missions, that might sound a bit shameful to say but the game menus are just really confusing and unclear. Confusing at first: In all honesty, I had to ask a fellow friend of mine who was also playing The Falconeer how I could proceed with the game.It is eye-opening to see a conflict play out differently depending on the faction, The Falconeer is a fine example to always try to hear all sides of the story before making a judgment on something. This isn’t told by expensive cutscenes but with voiced dialogue before or after missions. A story told by different factions: The Great Ursee has different factions, they all have a different take on the story and the tension and often recognizable real-life troubles make for an interesting story to follow.The way Falconeer is set-up it required some astonishing visuals as you’ll be flying around A LOT, it feels a bit mixed but the visuals keep the bird flying as the gameplay itself misses a basic element in gaming, fun. Falconeer’s open world, The Great Ursee is quite a looker! Nothing less than a spectacle, even after playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla! A dried-up water trench seems to be the main unique visual thing and it remains impressive to fly through it. (kinda like that Insects experience tech game on Xbox One X) Flying around and seeing the waves crash on isolated islands, seeing fishes and whales in the stylized ocean, impressive thunder clouds that recharge your weapon.

Use that photo mode! If Microsoft would release The Falconeer as some kind of tech-demo for Xbox Series X without any sort of gameplay or story people would love it.
