Avatar Frontiers of Pandora REVIEW - My Brutally Honest Opinion After Credits (Avatar FOP Review)

Ойындар

I've been playing Avatar Frontiers of Pandora A LOT! After about 40 hours in Avatar FOP, I'll give my honest opinion on whether the new Avatar game is worth a buy. I've completed the main story, done a fair amount of crafting, cooking, side quests and more. This Avatar FOP review will cover all of this and more over my time with the game. Let's go!
Avatar Frontiers of Pandora releases on Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC on December 7th, 2023.

    As a former teenager that like very much the PS3 game, and is very passionate about the Avatar world, this is like, the perfect game for me. It could have been a Pandora walking simulator, it would have been fine for me. This is just what I wanted 14 years ago, and now I have it so that's very cool. And damn isn't it gorgeous! And it seems to be decent, for sure not groundbreaking, it's Ubisoft, but eh, works well. I hope although it goes beyond its core gameplay, and how the game is giving you a relationship between Na'vis and Pandora. At the end, story might be simple - like the movies - I think it's more a feeling and something else that touch me with Avatar. I like that you can just be a Na'vi, take your time, there are not many ennemies, just explore an enormous map. The movies and the first game do not do justice to the world they created for Avatar. Na'vis are insanely interesting with their cultures and rites, although as any "fake" societies, it's has to have a sense of familiarity, because after all, the creators are biaised. But you have to read the books, spend time in lore, etc. That's the downside of a media IP I suppose.

    I've got a question regarding the grafics I'm playing the game on PC as well, having a nvidia rtx 4060 ti, 32 GB RAM and 12th Gen i7. Sometimes the textures appear to be flat, like they don't load in. And after a while they load again. Like its a mix. They sometimes are detailed, sometimes just not there and flat. Avatar is the only game I experience these issues and till now I haven't found a solution for that. Is there anything I can do? Maybe something in the settings?

    Everybody is comparing it to Far Cry Primal. Is there any way someone could choose or answer the question on if you had to choose between the two, would it be Avatar or Primal? I love Pandora, I love the creatures and the wild life, the nature, the Na'avi themselves are amazing. I have always looked forward to a game like this. But... I also have never played Far Cry Primal. So I'm curious about what other people would choose if they had to choose one or the other and have actually played both.

    I hope for DLC that they do decide to stray from the RDA . After Avatar: WoW - I remember hearing whispers of "Fire Na'avi" who are the only Na'avi to also combat other Native Na'avi in future films so maybe somethingggg (doesn't have to be Fire Na'avi) along those lines would make for an interesting expansion that would add more to the story than "RDA bad , Na'avi good" like you mentioned .

    Ubisofts' issue is that they need to mature. They have so many interesting ip's, but i feel like they are stuck in the 360 era for world building and storytelling They have a set way of doing things, and they rarely try something new. I will probably pick this up at some point. It does look fun. But not at full price. I have a feeling a game like this will be on sale pretty quickly and maybe end up on gamepass or playstation plus

From someone who never played a shooter game First person perspective grew on me :) there are few things they need to fix with the cosmetic display on both my character and ikran. Aaaaand I wish the game would stop referring me to "they" I am not a "they" I'm a "she" they should add a patch to fix that cause it's like scratching in calk board, so I try to just brush it off. Other than that I love the game! I hope they add more to the story!

    MY experiences with combat with the RDA is that the bows are crap for them, because i aim, they have already knocked 75% of my health off before i even fire and i have noticed i do better against 4 Mechs than i do against 4 Humans, which is weird, i find the RDA weapons better at taking out the enemies especially at longer range, because the bows have far lower range than the guns, so i tend to just use my guns when facing RDA, cause bows are just trash, especially at the beginning, the weak points tend to be in places that expect you to be stealthy, but the problem is, Stealth is virtually non-existent, the moment i fire 1 shot of the bow, killing the enemy while undetected, the others instantly know where i am and even if i move, they go to where i moved to, its like they have GPS, which they act on, only when i act or, i am in their line of sight. The game looks good, but honestly, that is their own good bit...the rest feels like Farcry......average at best.

    I have hundreds of hours in AC/FC/WD and took a Ubisoft+ month just for this (AC Mirage was more than a month ago). Played Avatar only about 1/3 of that month's days (and only for 1-2 hour sessions) because it was so dull, boring and way too hard. Spent most of the month on Ghost Recon Wildlands (2017) and got that to about 80% of the whole map icon plethora. I'd consider continuing Avatar (even with the dull/boring story and dialog; voice acting was decent) If there was an actual easy/story mode - without eating and cooking, with working stealth, less gear crafting, much larger inventory and most importantly: with HUD markers that show me (from miles away, through plants/mountains/buildings) exactly where to go until I'm literally at that spot. Just like you can enable in other recent Ubisoft titles.

The worldbuilding is best but I'm not sold on RDA because their very annoying game mechanics

    Reviewing this on a 4090 does not give a clear picture of what the game is going to feel like for most. I'm playing the game on a 2080ti and it is really struggling on 1080p high settings. I even stupidly bought the ps5 version hoping that the game would run a bit smoother but i was so wrong. I guess i will be revisiting this game in 2030 when most graphic cards can run this properly, because i do love the environment/setting. Proper review though.

    They sorta broach this by removing you from the "greater will" thing. So if you go on a murder hobo tear, you'll lose out on some of your abilities for a while. And it also makes sense in a human way. Since the Navi you play was raised by humans and is supposed to be learning their way. But I also agree that it was done in a weird way. Seems like how a human playthrough would've gone

    I think Avatar getting a bad reputation for taking different aspects from other games is Stupid. Call of Duty, Fornite, GTA, and so many other games do the same or worse and most will praise them for it. They have Parkour from Dying Light, Combat has Apex Vibez, the Sneaking mechanics are like Assassins Creed, The Map and Character progression is similar to Far Cry, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY it's Official Avatar Storyline and immersive environment.
