Jetpack Joyride vs The Falconeer
Jetpack Joyride
Jetpack Joyride is a fun 2D arcade game that is somewhat similar to other auto-runner game except that in this game, you get to fly with a super awesome jectpack. However, the scientists you stole the jetpack from aren't too keen to letting you just have the device and have unleashed the full defensive force of their top secret lab on you. Have fun dodging dangerous lasers, rockets and more while collecting as many coins as you can. Suit up in an awesome mech or pilot a variety of crazy vehicles and jump right into the foray. The coins you get can even be invested into a range of upgrades for both your jetpack and your vehicles. Rack up as high a score as you can get and see how well you rank among your friends or on the global leaderboard!Jetpack Joyride is one of the most popular arcade game to have "made it" despite not being linked to any pre-existing (and usually rather massive) franchise. Frankly, this in itself is quite the impressive feat!
The Falconeer
The Falconeer is a third-person adventure game focusing on aerial combat on the back of a warbird. Best played with a controller, the game features a massive, steampunk-themed open ocean-covered world to explore, thrilling dogfights to dive into, and quests to complete.The Falconeer features a massive open world that the player can explore to his/her heart’s content! There are many different islets featuring various points-of-interest like fortified locations, seachantress, and weaponshop that players can land on, but the most important one is probably the settlements. Here, players can take quests; buy stuff like weapons, serums to enhance your warbird, permits, etc from vendors; complete bounties, and even buy a new warbird once the pre-requisites (such as completing a time trial race within just 30 seconds) are fulfilled.
Now, in terms of combat, I’m a bit on the fence about The Falconeer. Personally, I find the controls in The Falconeer to feel rather awkward. Aiming is also very hard in this game, not because you have to aim ahead like what you’ll typically do in a tank-based game like World of Tanks but rather, aim at a fast-moving target. The crosshair will jump all over the place (if not disappear outright) during a dogfight. At one point, the crosshair disappeared entirely, turning my warbird into a sitting duck. Flying isn’t as stable as I’d like as well. Maybe this is done in the name of realism, but I’ve noticed that sometimes my warbird will dip and fly lower for no reason.
The Falconeer has some incredible, unique world-building complete with beautiful graphics and atmosphere. The only unfortunate thing about the game is probably the controls. It’s very hard to properly navigate your warbird, let alone engage in intense aerial combat when it feels like I’m trying to aim at fast-moving targets while being completely drunk. So, I’d say the game might be suitable for a more hardcore, high-skilled player base but not the average gamer.
