Though even when you do finally arrive at a fight, you never feel like you or your bird is in any real danger. Not only is your bird easily distracted, and will often veer off course, but unlike most aerial combat games, this one has a static navigation map, and can't be changed to reflect your new objectives when you turn. That's also assuming you went the right way. They're often preceded by long stretches of flying. While there's fun to be had when you're going mano-a-mano - or should that be birdo-a-birdo - those moments are not a frequent or as frantic as they could've been. It's still pretty nimble, even if you do need to juice it up by picking up speed to do barrel rolls. You can even pick up mines and drop them on targets, though this requires a subtlety that your bird doesn't always have.
Flying around an open world - which is largely water but with a small smattering of islands - you engage in mid-fight fights, shooting at other giant birds and aircraft. In The Falconeer, you pilot a giant bird into battle against other warbirds, as well as ground-based targets, all in the hopes of restoring the Empire to its former glory.
While aerial combat games can provide seat-of-your-pants action when done well, this one isn't nearly so exciting.
