Novelty in games is always a good thing, new experiences are welcome and you never know what may become a break out hit or revelatory gameplay experience. Falcon Age is unfortunately neither but if you’re looking for a reasonably good story, play mechanics that are simply a bit different as you become more adept at guiding and using your fledgling falcon companion’s skills, and don’t mind the pace being more on the slow side it can be a refreshingly good time. I found the game’s sense of humor often provided me with an amusing response to in-game prompts, a small detail but one I appreciated nonetheless. You can tell it was designed with VR in mind and if you were fully immersed in the game world perhaps it wouldn’t feel so plain and empty. Not to say there’s not some beauty here, just the level of detail feels a generation or so ago. Give it a glance and if the style of play looks appealing it’s certainly worth a look.
