I never felt so immersed in a game like that before. The game is STUNNING! And I say this without using a VR headset, just imagine this game with VR! The game captures the essence of Pandora perfectly, and that to me is a dream came true! You feel everything, the winds, the storms, the whole environment comes to life, it interacts with you and you feel it. Where ever I turn I keep saying "Oh my God!". I've played so many open world games, including Horizon series which I love, but there is nothing like Avatar! I've been so ready for this game before it was released, as usual I made sure I don't know anything. I only knew it was developed by Massive Entertainment and that was enough. And what a surprise it was! It's everything I wanted in gaming.
I loved the story, and it dose feel like an extension of the Avatar universe. Avatar original story is already amazing. More than the story I really wanted to experience the world of Pandora and to be part of it. And they delivered. You'll enjoy it especially if you're an Avatar fan, and if you're not you'll probably become one. The values, the emotional aspects of the story, the bond with Ikran, the care for the environment, all came from the original Avatar story.
There is still plenty of content to explore and enjoy. It gave me the best moments in gaming of all time. Combat can be intense and challenging sometimes especially if you are not used to first person shooting games, but you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment when you win. The music is AMAZING! It's magical! Spiritual! It keeps changing according to your experience while playing and exploring. This game keeps rewarding you, you feel so immersed that time flies and you never get tired of exploring and completing varieties of different types of quests and missions. There is a lot of attention to details. For example, collecting fruit, the condition and rarity will depend on things like location, timing, night or day, dry or wet, the way you remove it, etc... Also it's so much fun jumping on big mushrooms to jump very high onto tall trees, collecting fruit. Using giant leaves to pad the fall just like in the Avatar movie.
I played it on Playstation 5, I never came across any bug or glitch in this game, no issues at all. It's great that Ubisoft made this game available for all platforms from day one. It's ready to play without major issues as far as I know. Ubisoft announced that they're releasing two DLCs in 2024, so get ready for more content and a new region to be discovered as an addition to an already massive world! I'm glad that they took the best out of Far Cry and created something unique, a MASTERPIECE. I can't wait for additional features, expansions and updates, I'll keep playing and visiting Pandora. This game is for the long journey, a memorable, beautiful journey. I usually take time before I call a game the best game of all time, but for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora I'm gonna say it now. It's my best game of all time.
Thanks to Massive Entertainment for developing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and thanks to Ubisoft.
