While playing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, I was constantly disappointed. Whether it be the game story, combat, or visuals, it felt like every step forward in a positive direction was followed soon after by two steps back. The game’s positive aspects are still good, and I’m sure diehard fans of the film will enjoy the realistic recreation of Pandora’s wilderness.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a faithful and welcome addition to the Avatar movie franchise. It takes the established world building and builds upon it with an original quest to provide a way for the player to experience the vibrant yet dangerous world of Pandora first hand. While it does have some room to improve when it comes to late mission and character design, it’s clear that the better parts of Ubisoft’s game catalogue have built Frontiers of Pandora up to what it is. Claiming its traversal and gun play from Far Cry, strategic use of planning and use of technology from Watch Dogs and its stealth and strategy mechanics from Assassin’s Creed.

Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is a gorgeous looking game with positive messages of protecting nature, respecting different cultures and enjoying life instead of always striving for more. It is a breath of fresh air in this cynical world we’re living in. If you allow yourself to, just for once, not succumb to your cravings for non-stop, adrenaline inducing, action you’ll find a beautiful world to explore, filled with stories worth hearing.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora didn't use its potential to the fullest, but it isn't bad either and looks absolutely stunning. You just have to accept that the story isn't nothing to write home about.

If you are looking for a broad game with beautiful graphics, lots of quests with the possibility of even more content, look no further. Then Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is the game for you. Based on the film of the same name, the sequel to the first Avatar film/game. Where we didn't think was possible after a great first Avatar experience, Ubisoft has outdone themselves.

Overall ‘Avatar Frontiers Of Pandora’ was an absolute blast to play. With fluid and enjoyable gameplay and truly gorgeous graphics, what’s there not to love with this game. ‘Ubisoft’ and ‘Massive Entertainment’ have created something truly special and deserves a 10/10.

Frontiers of Pandora's shortcomings come from its effort to be unique, but it makes a valiant effort in immersing players into its world.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is exactly how a licensed game should be made, really respecting the culture, identity, and style of the world James Cameron has built, finding ways to really gameify the experience and make it enjoyable, all while adding something to the universe that even connects to its future. Navigation is quite cumbersome in general, and you’ll start feeling like some missions are a bit too filler’y as you progress, but this is a must for fans of the series. In fact, it’s one of Ubisoft’s better open world offerings in recent years.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is all spectacle being probably the most impressive current generation game when it comes to visuals, but alas a rather boring time lacking substance.

The Massive Entertainment opens the doors of Pandora with a technically impressive and immersive bet, which would be incredible if its story and progression were more interesting.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora had the components to be an excellent game. The narrative base was there, the premise too, and even the gameplay. Ideas that in theory could be interesting, but in practice fell far short of what was expected. I honestly felt that they took several titles from the Far Cry saga (based on Primal, but with current graphics), put them in the blue Avatar outfit and released this title.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features a familiar open-world formula that is a perfect match for this adventure, as this is a planet with so much care and thought put in that despite its flaws, I found myself itching to explore what’s beyond all those floating rocks. But if you’re not on board with how Ubisoft does open-world games, then you’ll be struggling with half of the game’s core pillars right off the bat.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features a lush and visually stunning world with very satisfying tactical combat; unfortunately, the anonymous and forgettable story is unconvincing, while the gameplay is undermined by a problematic mission design that can often make our experience frustrating.

Ubisoft seems to have... remembered its good old self and in collaboration with Massive Entertainment, has created the very good Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora videogame.

Thus, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is what one would expect of a soulless licensed game on the PlayStation 2/early-PlayStation 3 era. The main different is the monetary correction of inflation, updated to what one would expect to pay for an open world title in the current industry.

Even if you are not a big fan of the Avatar property, if you have enjoyed Far Cry in the past and are curious to see how Ubisoft is slowly evolving their tried and true formula, or if you just want a beautiful place to get lost in, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora definitely fits the bill.

Despite all the reservations, complaints and finger-pointing, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is not a bad game. It looks and sounds amazing. The movement and arcade combat are done right. Unfortunately, Ubisoft plunged even further into its trap of open worlds, making the game boring and at times even repulsive. Very quickly I began to tire of this production, practically forcing myself to continue wading into the storyline and exploring the world.

The end result is a beautiful nature documentary hindered by bloat, lacking the compelling story or lifelike ecosystem one would hope for in a next-gen realization of Pandora.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a difficult game to judge. The world of Pandora is ideal for an open world game and the conflict between the Na'vi and the RDA ensures that there is plenty to do for the player. The game looks great and the soundtrack from the film is also present here. The moments where all elements click together perfectly give the player an extremely rich gaming experience. Unfortunately, the game contains a lot of different elements that you as a player have to discover with a lot of frustration. The first ten hours are therefore more complicated than necessary. Even the menu to view your current collection of materials looks complicated. But the moment you have seen the many elements and know where everything is, you start to understand the game better. That's when you really start to enjoy this game. It is such a shame that you first have to work hard in this game.
