Falcon Age

About

Falcon Age casts you as Ara, a wrongfully imprisoned rebel on a desolate planet stripped of life by machines. You bond with a fledgling falcon during a jail stint before escaping to aid a resistance fighting automated invaders. The game blends first-person action with resource management as you scavenge, hunt, and sabotage enemy systems. Your falcon companion assists in combat and exploration, offering tactical advantages as you navigate ruined environments and battle mechanized foes. The game’s tight focus on companion dynamics and survival mechanics stands out, with players logging hours mastering its unforgiving systems. Community data shows 28 achievements spread unevenly, most players snag about a quarter, but the "Penguin" trophy eludes 98.7% of attempts. Falcon Age thrives on its atmospheric tension and the emotional weight of a falcon partnership that feels both practical and oddly heartfelt. Its VR support adds depth to environmental interactions, though the core experience holds strong across platforms.
