The Falconeer: Revolution Remaster

Free roaming aerial combat on a giant eagle. Nice looking graphics. Bad everything else. I can't reliably shoot anything. I tried aiming directly, I tried leading, I tried aiming at the little white circle (prediction target?), shots go in a wild arc that's impossible to read. I ran out of ammo, you have to reload in a thunderstorm. These were available in the tutorial but in a mission they are nowhere to be found. I flew around in a spiral for ages looking for one and eventually quit the game instead. A more fundamental problem is that free roaming aerial combat is not fun. First you fly in a straight line for a long time to get to a point of interest, then you spin in circles in a featureless void trying to get behind your enemy. Is the enemy behind you instead? Uh oh, better spin in a circle even harder. It's never been done well because it's a bad idea. It doesn't matter that it's part of real war, lots of boring and un-fun things happen in war and shouldn't be made into games. I skipped all the cutscenes after about one second because they seemed terrible (as usual). I would bet that the median player of this game does not complete a single mission.

空戰獵鷹 就是那種優點跟缺點都超明顯的遊戲。你一飛上去就會知道它跟一般空戰遊戲不太一樣，那個世界、那個海天一線、那個騎著巨鳥打 Dogfight 的畫面真的很有自己的味道；配樂也不是單純好聽而已，是會把整個人拉進那個世界裡的那種。重製版又把原本比較容易被嫌的瞄準、控制手感、微卡和相容性補了不少，如果現在才接觸它，體驗會比 2020 年首發穩很多。 但我還是會講白：它不是萬用推薦，反而比較像很有個性的小眾作品。如果你期待的是系統很深、任務很多、節奏很緊的空戰大作，那你大概會嫌它內容偏空、任務重複、UI 和教學不夠貼心；可如果你要的是一款風格很強、飛起來很有感、玩完還會記得那片天空和那段音樂的獨立遊戲，那《空戰獵鷹》其實很值得等特價時收一片。簡單講，它不是「什麼人都推」，但對吃這味的人來說，還是很有記憶點。

Its a very comfy game, I had it on Epic first but as a no gamepad PC first gamer couldn't play original version at all. Now thanks to remaster controls overhaul for m+kb I was easily able to complete the game and appreciate it fully. New control scheme, borrowed from such titles as Freelancer, Project Wingman and War Thunder uses familiar mouse aim, which fits the idea of mounting alive creature with its own temper and which softens pilots mistakes, not letting them crash into blimps or rocks, very intuitive unlike "virtual instructor" explanation from other fixed wing air sims. The games strongest sides are vibe, story and atmosphere, borrowed from nordic mythology so if you liked Northrend, How To Train Your Dragon, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole and so on, you'll feel right at home in the Ursee. Clouds and mist over cold waters, sunrises and sunsets over the sea waves, flags and fires on gas towers, so much beauty made with little touches, really good work with environments and world art. The OST is great: it features bagpipes, bulgarian choir, didgeridoo and throat singing which are made into themes and leitmotifs of factions and cities. Also the game features almost full Disco Elysium VA cast, pretty good job here. The game cycle reminded me of games like Sea Dogs, Ex Machina, Battle Engine Aquila and Ace Combat. There were times where I felt like a naval aviation hero unit in a strategy game between airships, classic battleships and sea harbor forts full of artillery, protected by barrage balloons and flak towers. So if you wanted to play as the Dragonhawk Rider attacking Zeppelins in Warcraft III, or maybe wanted to drop bombs on dreadnaughts among Kirov Airships here's the game where you finally can do it.

A good air fighting game, the features I liked the most are the graphics, the level progression, which is not fast but not too slow and boring either, also thanks to a good variety of side quests and repeatable missions, and its open world: it doesn't feel unnecessarily big and most settlements have their purpose and use, whether it's for side quests or for buying stuff. For new players it could feel a bit confusing at the beginning (not knowing exactly which missions to do first, which settlements to explore, which things to buy) but after a while it all becomes clearer.

这游戏风景挺好，就是难操作

首先最大的问题是iff实在是做的很差，只靠目视确定敌人这事本身没问题，但是你小地图又不标出敌人方位，混战之下还得挨个iff去扫来判断敌我这也太蠢了 战斗这块实际就是纯6点狗斗，但是由于没有减速减，只有一键滚筒%一键俯冲导致根本拉不开机动，贴身咬尾压根咬不住，这个自动俯冲直接把枪口轴拉歪了，纯负反馈；导弹更是抽象，数值并不高，然后又是一次性装备，我明白做这点意愿是鼓励玩家狗斗，但本身狗头体验就很差的前提下还去狗斗……这不是让人坐牢吗（ 开放世界这个事只能说见仁见智，空的不行，也没剧情推动的实际主线，于是 探索（空虚）→战斗（坐牢狗斗）→交任务（马桶）→再探索（空虚） 的负反馈连锁直接闭环了，有点逆天 其他音乐、美术啥的就更不提了，看了眼发售时间是2020，这是纯被当年僚机计划压着杀了哇（

While this game definitely has a learning curve, once you get the mechanics down and snowball a little it become a breeze. The story and setting are both fairly unique and absolutely worth playing the game for, and even just exploring the world on whim is pretty awesome. 9/10, the gameplay with mouse & keyboard could be better, but that's literally my only gripe with this game. Buy it. Easily 15 hours of gameplay just running the campaign, another 10 exploring, and likely 5-10 more to get all the achievements.

If you like the idea of riding a giant bird, and shooting things, then this games for you, Not a bad story line. A little janky, and a few map bugs (like a floating statue in the sky). But nothing that stops the gameplay. I liked it.
