The Falconeer Warrior Edition (PS4)

Aerial combat on the back of a giant warbird over an endless ocean. The Falconeer Warrior Edition for PS4 brings solo developer Tomas Sala's BAFTA-nominated air combat game to a region free physical disc, and it's the kind of indie-meets-physical release that collectors gravitate toward.

The Falconeer is one of those games that screenshots can't fully sell. The sense of scale, diving through ocean depths one moment and soaring above cloud cities the next, is something that has to be experienced in motion. Multiple campaigns let you see the world of the Ursee from different factional perspectives, which gives the game a narrative depth that its dogfighting mechanics might not immediately suggest. Pirate skirmishes, kraken encounters, battles against massive crab cities, and the ever-present threat of the mysterious Mancer Order keep every sortie unpredictable. As a physical PS4 release, this sits in that collectors' sweet spot of being a critically recognized indie title with limited physical availability. The Warrior Edition includes all content updates, making it the definitive version on disc. For anyone who builds their shelf around unique experiences rather than franchise names, this one earns its spot.
