Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora PS5 Review - Is It Worth It?

[@theodoregreenwood2234]

I’ve been playing on PC for about 15 hours. I haven’t gotten much out of the story and or side quests, but once I was kinda set free it brought back the sense of wonder I felt the first time I played Skyrim.

[@uhuhuh1966]

The intro cutscenes are trash, but I promise you once you start meeting new tribes and learning their politics it becomes a lot more engaging, I can’t stand the human allies lol

I bought but I am saving it for Christmas. It will be fun. I love Avatar. I might buy a second copy and play it with my son.

[@wozza2046]

Great way to spend Christmas, hope you have fun!

That’s so sweet! Hope you and your son enjoyed it 😊

Solid review. Picked up Avatar Frontiers of Pandora on PS5 and man the graphics are absolutely stunning! It’s the first game since Horizon Forbidden West that has blown me, the world of Pandora is so lush, the natural environment, lighting is top notch. Flying around on the Ikran is a treat, Far Cry Primal is one of my all time favorite games and Avatar Frontiers of Pandora captures the vibe of that game perfectly. 😊

[@yatyas311]

No joke this game is absolutely amazing! I have zero complaints.

[@robertwatson5104]

Looks and runs awesome on my 4080 rig, on Ultra Just started it, so wether the gameplay will hold my attention for long, remains to be seen

[@KathrynKLNA]

Finally checked out this game yesterday (after I bought it for my teenage son..) and now I’m buying my own copy and my husband is also wanting one! lol. The graphics are incredible, the game is so close to the movies that it is amazing and feels like avatar is extended- and you’re really one of “them.” Highly enjoy!

[@Cajeudy]

🎉🤩 which version of this game is for the digital ps5 ?

[@John-d5i8v]

Am I the only one that feels the ikran don’t fly/move fast enough? Feels slow when close to the ground… you can’t get that movie feel in terms of speed on it. Great game tho. If you’re a fan of avatar you’ll like it If you’re a fan of farcry you’ll like it If you’re a fan of both you’ll love it

[@alexmora8841]

I think it’s because canonically the ikran can only reach a top speed of 25-30 mph but it could also just be because the devs felt like it lol

[@John-d5i8v]

What is the play time for completion and re playability

[@dannypistilli4864]

Im so impressed with this game. Almost went under my radar because I haven't been the big fan of the movies, but it doesn't matter. Just a really fun great game.

[@MrMightyZ]

Nice video, dude! I’m fortunate enough to have a PS5 and an XSX and I’m waiting for Digital Foundry’s report but so far I’ve only found comparisons going in PS5s favour. So far three guys are saying that the image has noticeably better stability on PS5 and that performance is equal or better on PS5 and zero guys saying the opposite. (Though assuming you have VRR there are no performance issues on either console) PS5 having better image quality doesn’t make sense especially since this is so graphically intense. Hurry up Digital Foundry!

[@Jamic9]

Yup. You and me both. From what I've seen so far from various sources, the PS5 version is probably the version I'll end up going with. Thomas Morgan is creating the comparison video, reckon it should land tomorrow.

[@MassiveHappyClapper]

It makes sense, the series X has more compute power but the PS5 is better engineered. I have both, both are good.

[@Jamic9]

@@MassiveHappyClapper Also the Sony machine is the lead platform for the vast majority of third party developers, as there are a lot more PS5's in the wild than Xbox series consoles. This often results in better optimisation for the PS5 version.

[@MassiveHappyClapper]

@@Jamic9 true.

[@marsrii4372]

I am amazed how well this game runs on my PS5, considering the astounding amount of details in the landscape, even running at full speed. The raytraced lighting is drop-dead gorgeous…

[@MrTURBO187]

Is this game completely single player? As it says multi player optional on psn

[@pushsquare]

Can be played entirely in single player or in online coop with one other player after a certain story mission unlocks it -Aaron

[@sethharris2577]

What part of "optional" is confusing for you?

[@d.f.9064]

I've had it a week and I love it. One complaint: it's not difficult enough.

[@Cajeudy]

Hi 👋 am glad you enjoyed it 🎉, which version of this game is for a digital ps5 ?

[@CharlesVanexX]

I enjoyed it. Game of year? No. But it was an enjoyable sometimes frustrating experience.

[@Davidcross0121]

The first hour or so isn't the best. But once you start free roaming it's so much fun. Without doubt the best in ubisoft game for a long time. The one little knit pick I have is the navi dialogue doesn't sound great. I'm no expert but they don't sound like navi.

[@JamesGowan]

Ubisoft would not have been able to make the game without LIGHTSTORM.

[@Runnyplays]

Outstanding review of an outstanding game. Awesome 🤩

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

Beautiful game

[@imakeshoes1]

I’m really enjoying the game and I’m not even an avatar fan. The world is gorgeous and massive.

[@maddiecarrillo-lx8sb]

I believe you as a lover of AVATAR this game was phenomenal. I really don't understand why people dislike it. Its a very real spiritual experience. You do feel like a newbie being trained by the Navi.This game is meant for people who really want to dive in to the world of avatar. Just like the first movie. Especially at night. This isn't just a fight with the RDA this is a game that shows their deep spiritual connection amongst one another and their environment. Something as humans we were never able to experience ourselves.

[@dirtbikeryzz]

60fps 480p on ps5

[@marsrii4372]

Stop it already with the Farcry comparisons. The negative comments are idiotic. If you like this genre of games, this game is a dream come true. Haters and trolls need to STFU and go play the loading screens, bare planet simulator Starfield.

[@maddiecarrillo-lx8sb]

I know it was so gorgeous.It saddens me that people dislike it. I played ghost of sushima and the world was incredible and when I Played this game it was larger and exactly how I imagined traveling through pandora. I hope the team does avatar the way of water and so on. They keep making games like this ill buy everytime. Great job ubisoft and everyone else This game is amazing. Soon people will come to realize it.

[@mariovo5]

If you have to teamed the beast I'm good

[@ashlazdanovich8396]

I’ll be honest, I absolutely hate this game. All it does is bug and glitch. I can’t even get through some of the early quests because I’ll do them perfectly and the game will not register that I did it. Had to do a quest like 20 times over because of this. I even looked it up to be sure I was doing it right. Not to mention the shit stealth. I’ll easily stealth kill an enemy, but immediately be noticed by literally every single enemy and they also seem to teleport to my location to rein fire on me. My only option at that point is to quit the quest because I have to go out of the quest zone. And the game kills me for that. I’m so sick of it! This game is so broken I cannot enjoy it. I’m glad you enjoyed it. But I have not enjoyed it one time since I got it. Such a waste of money.

[@leesmith5065]

Putting Me To Sleep🤦🏾 I can't get into it after 6hrs....(And yea...I got the Ikran and Direhorse... And it's still a Snooze Fest)

[@seangonzalez9025]

Pass!… I need better gameplay and not just roaming looking at trees😂

[@Hauerization]

Story, dialouge and characters are very lackluster. If you play as a female Naavi, you sound like selfconfident american woman. If you play as a male, you sound like a scared, insecure native boy. I would have liked to hear Massives thoughts about that. ;) What wins me over is the world, worth the purchase alone.

[@day4what600]

Just mod yo far cry, it's the same game💀💀

[@MrParis215]

[@maddiecarrillo-lx8sb]

@@MrParis215 the whole point of an AVATAR RPG is to prioritize the environment and look at things in a deep meaningful understanding just like they did in the movie. If its a snooze fest don't play a game based on spirit and peace and their connection. If you didn't like the movie avatar for the blue cats. don't play a game based on it lol. For people who want a deeper understanding would love this game without a doubt. Avatar is known for its scenery and the spiritual connection they have with their enviorment.

ha, the world was insane. They did a great job it was exactly what I expected from watching the movie. It's simplistic but what they say there's a deeper connection to it. And for avatar lovers this game truly was phenomenal. Empty how? looks exactly like the first movie in comparison.

[@abdoulayekone93]

This looks wack asl, stop the cap

[@TheHappyTrax]

There’s just nothing to it… no meaningful exploration and things to discover outside of eye candy, barely any interesting main/side-quests etc. It ALL just feels dated and as if the game could’ve launched several years ago and fit right in with the PS4/Xbox One generation. Far Cry and much more mechanically sound in this regard, despite that it’s been rinse and repeat since the 3rd game, which pretty much set the template for all Ubisoft games of this ilk Anyway… I’d suggest waiting for a decent sale if you absolutely love Avatar (which I don’t care too much for.)

[@markadams5009]

Good points, the game is definitely gorgeous eye candy but looks rather shallow gameplay. I'm not too interested in the hunter/gathering aspect. Plus never really got into Avatar. I'm interested in it but I'm in no rush to get it, and Ubisoft games always go on sale, usually fairly quickly as well. For now I've got a huge backlog of things to play regardless.

[@ElectricAlien577]

@@markadams5009 The hunting and gathering is actually really well implemented though. I havent seen a game do something quite like it, and ive found it quite rewarding once i figured it out. The combat is admittedly simple, but playing on hard it is quite engaging and fun. Using all the tools at your disposal adds a bit of strategy to combat encounters. Im about 20 hours in, and loving every minute.

[@markadams5009]

@@ElectricAlien577 Fair enough, I'll definitely pick it up sometime when it's on sale. By the way if you haven't played Remnant 2 it's awesome, fun, challenging solo or up to 3 player co-op. I put over 250 hours on it and had a blast.
