I have nothing to say as an introduction this time. I've run out of
new ideas on how to start these posts. So let's just jump right into
it. It's Thursday, Epic gives us a free game, and that game is...
* The Falconer (Standard Edition) https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-falconeer
An air-combat 'simulator', although that last
word is being plenty abused considering that
your vehicle of choice is a giant eagle (or maybe
a bat or pterodactyl, depending on the mission).
It's not all combat though, since it's also got
an open world and trading mechanics; it's actually
more akin to Elite than, say, a feathery "Ace
Combat" clone. Potentially a bit repetitive, and
a controller (whether stick or gamepad) is
almost required (keyboard/mouse users shouldn't
bother). It's a weird melange of ideas that
/just/ seems to work.
This one is free, as usual, for seven days; claim it within that
period and its yours to keep. Take too long and you'll have to crack
open the wallet to play it. The Number is watching; choose wisely.
Ooh another one I actually want to try!
