Hungry Shark Evolution vs The Falconeer
Hungry Shark Evolution
Hungry Shark Evolution is a pretty interesting and fun arcade game by Ubisoft. In this game, you'll get to "role-play" as a shark that is hungry enough to basically eat anything and anyone in its way. There are more than a dozen of amazing shark species you can play as ranging from the iconic Great White to the equally famous Hammerhead. You can play as other similarly deadly underwater creatures, such as the Megalodon, too!Since the game is arcade-y in nature, you can actually equip your sharks with some impressive accessories to increase its killing efficiency or simply to let your shark look awesome when it gobbles that diver whole. Hungry Shark Evolution has plenty of content to keep you engaged aside from collecting sharks and accessories. You can complete tons of tough missions, hunt for sunken Bonus Objects, participate in exciting in-game events, challenge your friends to a match, and even recruit baby sharks to bolster your power.
The controls in this game are simple enough to grasp and the gameplay, especially the multiplayer aspect, is fun enough to keep you coming back for more. So, if you fancy a fun arcade game to play, Hungry Shark Evolution is definitely a game you might want to try.
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.
