Those who don’t have PlayStation VR headsets will be glad to know that they can play Falcon Age too, though it isn’t the same. Whilst the premise alone is pretty neat, it’s the way that it all feels in the PlayStation VR headset that’s so special – having your bird companion on your arm, interacting with it in different ways, and then commanding it with the flick of a Move controller just felt great and never stopped being fun throughout the entirety of my adventure. That’s exactly the case with Falcon Age, a first-person adventure that sees you and a Falcon companion heading on a battle against robots that’ve taken over your homeland.

Small world and all that.What I love the most about virtual reality is that it can take a game that might just feel a little ordinary when played on a flat screen and turn it into something unique. Why's that notable? Because I plugged over a thousand hours into Uber's Monday Night Combat games and quite desperately need that time to feel validated.įalcon Age is available now over on the Epic Games Store for £16/$20.ĭisclosure: Cassandra Khaw, who I'm informed used to be a columnist on this very site, is one of the writers enlisted by Outerloop on Falcon Age. You can still get in on bird antics without strapping an expensive box to your noggin, thankfully.įalcon Age is the flappin' lovely debut from Outerloop Games, a Seattle-based studio notably formed from a bunch of Uber Entertainment veterans. Like its PlayStation counterpart, Falcon Age wants you to get stuck in with VR, and launches with Oculus Rift, Rift S, HTC Vive, and Valve Index compatibility. It's equally about dressing up a tiny Falcon and making it dab.

Falcon Age is an anti-colonial tale of family, cultural legacy, and going on adventures to fight robots with your birdy pal.
